Anotace: Urban transport sustainability is of prime importance for achieving desired urban outcomes which impact economic, social and accessibility dimensions. In many of the growing cities, everyday mobility is influenced by several factors which hinder sustainable and smart transport operations. This study is aimed at identifying the indicators to measure the sustainability of the transport systems, with special focus on urban mobility. A systematic literature review was conducted for this purpose, between 2000 and 2019, from databases including Scopus, Web of Science, KCI-Korean Journal Database, Russian Science Citation Index, and SciELO Citation Index. An assessment of the economic, social, and accessibility indicators of sustainability on urban transport systems was carried out. This research work has allowed the identification of the main indicators of sustainability referred by different researchers in the field of urban transport systems. Based on the careful bibliographic analysis, a set of the identified indicators is proposed so that reviewed indicators can be utilized more objectively and accurately for smart urban mobility patterns. This review study can be helpful in assisting researchers who are exploring to evaluate sustainability perspectives in urban transport systems.
