The main objective of the paper is to systematize the knowledge of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) and present concrete solutions on the example of Bialystok. Cities that take the implementation of the concept of smart city, transforming from the concept of sustainable development to the concept of intelligent growth, are characterized by managerial innovations and implementation of innovative solutions and due to this  can effectively compete with other centers. The benefits from implementation of ITS can be achieve by both residents and businesses established in the city, as well as other stakeholders. The results are, among others: increase in the capacity of streets, reducing travel time, improve customer service, as well as a general improvement in traffic safety and reducing the negative impact on the environment. These systems allow therefore easing the problems of European transport policy. The city of Bialystok in 2015 successfully launched the Intelligent Transport System covering the whole city, which is an important differentiator against the other cities in the country. The implemented solutions are aimed at most of all sustaining the large share of mass transport in the transport system. The main tasks of the system presented in the paper include the acceleration system in public transport, smooth ride and optimization of traffic in the city.
