Abstract

This article explores the evolution of environmentally sustainable and energy-efficient methods for organizing the priority movement of route passenger transport (RPT) in urban environments, with a specific focus on reducing harmful emissions and improving eco-efficiency. Various approaches are analyzed, including the use of dedicated lanes, intersection control schemes, and optimized stopping points. The study highlights how such prioritization can reduce travel time, lower fuel consumption, and enhance environmental performance by minimizing pollutant emissions. The paper emphasizes the effectiveness of Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) systems, which integrate high-capacity vehicles, priority at intersections, and exclusive lanes to increase transport efficiency and decrease ecological impact. Overall, the research supports the development of sustainable, low-emission, and energy-efficient urban transport solutions.
