been observing a deterioration in the quality of travel in individual car transport. Daily congestion in some areas is even affected by urban parking. It is already statistically proven that in some cities one has even been looking for one parking space for several tens of minutes (Veda na dosah, 2010). There are 3 ways: The first way is to be changing the traffic habits of the population, which is a very long process, perhaps in decades. The second way is to build transport infrastructure, but we know that our space cannot be inflated indefinitely. For example, playgrounds, many playgrounds are already occupied by cars. The third way, which is probably the shortest and can be addressed today, is through intelligent transport systems. The focus is therefore on monitoring traffic-controlled intersections, which will help traffic engineers cope with increasingly difficult situations (Veda na dosah, 2010). 2.1 City transport It is a single-decker electric bus that is 12 meters long and has a capacity of almost 80 people. It is also equipped with many sensors and navigation controls controlled by a comprehensive artificial intelligence (AI) system. The company also declares that it is equipped with state-of-the-art cyber security measures to prevent unwanted cyber attacks. The Volvo bus is the first of two models to undergo preliminary rounds of rigorous testing at the Centre for Excellence and Testing and Research of Autonomous Vehicles at NTU (CETRAN), where there is an artificial track along with all elements of the city – there are traffic lights, pedestrian crossings, stops or even a simulation of bad weather.
