Summary

This paper addresses the critical challenge of urban pollution, identifying transport as a primary source of environmental degradation in modern megacities. The authors argue that the development of intelligent transport and logistics systems (TLS), driven by advanced digital technologies and information and communication technologies (ICT), offers an optimal approach to reducing harmful emissions while improving urban living standards. The research is motivated by the global shift toward "smart city" concepts, where national and municipal programs aim to enhance economic, social, and environmental performance through the integration of digital infrastructure. The study employs a bibliographic analysis and comparative assessment of global smart cities to evaluate the impact of TLS on mobility and environmental quality. The authors review existing literature on key initiatives, including urban consolidation centers, drone and autonomous vehicle usage, last-mile delivery optimization, and green logistics. Additionally, the paper references cross-country research cooperation under Technical Committee 204, which tests standards for cooperative intelligent transport systems, automatic vehicle identification, and adaptive traffic management. The analysis focuses on how these systems facilitate the deployment of environmental innovations and improve resource efficiency. The findings indicate that the implementation of intelligent transport systems yields significant quantitative improvements. Specifically, TLS can reduce travel time by 10–15%, decrease passenger transport stops by 20–40%, and lower fuel consumption by 5–15%. For business enterprises, costs are reduced by 5–25%, while inventory turnover increases by 15–45%. Safety on certain road sections improves by up to 60%. Crucially for environmental goals, the introduction of advanced environmental innovations within TLS frameworks leads to a 5–15% reduction in harmful atmospheric emissions. A comparative analysis of global cities reveals that while air dissatisfaction remains high in cities like Los Angeles and Miami, cities such as Tokyo, London, Berlin, and Vienna demonstrate positive environmental initiatives. Digitalization and monitoring of key indicators have enabled many cities to mitigate environmental harm, although water quality in most large cities still lags behind standard values. The paper concludes that sustainability and environmental friendliness are paramount in TLS development, particularly amidst the rapid growth of e-commerce. The authors propose that future development should integrate the "15-minute city" concept with "mobility as a service" and digital logistics tools. Establishing a unified, decentralized integrated management system for business, households, and the state is recommended to coordinate these initiatives. This approach aims to create transparent interaction rules, lower investment thresholds for green infrastructure, and ensure continuous updates, thereby maximizing the environmental benefits of intelligent transport systems.
