ABSTRACT
In this paper the authors have presented selected, innovative transportation solutions for the urban transportation system and have conducted a multiple-criteria evaluation of them, taking into consideration the analysis of the needs of disabled and elderly (in advanced age) people. They have presented modern transportation solutions, such as: Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) system, Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system and integrated transfer nodes. They have used the above mentioned solutions to design different variants of an urban transportation system and have carried out their multiple-criteria evaluation taking into consideration the interests (preferences and expectations) of people with reduced mobility. In this paper the results of the computer based computational experiments, carried out using the AHP method have been presented. On the basis of the final ranking of considered variants, the appropriate reasoning has been conducted.
