© 2019 by SCITEPRESS - Science and Technology Publications, Lda. City transport problems that today exist practically everywhere require from city authorities together with scientists to develop new ways of ensuring transport system's sustainability. One of such ways is promotion of non-motorised transport among the population. However, such problems as the lack of necessary bicycle infrastructure and the vulnerability of cyclists prevent population from shifting to non-motorised modes of transport. Authors have considered existing positive experience of implementing bicycles into city transport systems and came to the conclusion that the identified problems should be solved in a comprehensive manner. For this, authors suggest the Decision Support System (DSS) that will help to plan the development of bicycle infrastructure and to evaluate its efficiency and safety. Moreover, the proposed DSS allows building possible cycling routes and choosing the best one on the base of their road and ecological safety calculation.
