New Aspects of Urban Planning and …, 2008

Since the advent of automobile, and design and construction of paved roads in the early 1900's there has been a significant contribution made in highway related transportation research. While in the earlier decades bulk of highway transportation research revolved around planning, design and construction of roads, right-of-way acquisition, and highway financing issues, the focus has somewhat shifted in the last three decades. Recent research has revolved around issues related to traffic congestion and environmental impact. This presentation reviews the changing trend in highway transportation research over the last 100 years and presents some views for future research. Specifically, it emphasizes the need for a closer examination of the three-way interaction among vehicle, roadway, and driver for better planning, design, and traffic management. There is a considerable trade-off among these three entities when planning, designing, operating, and maintaining highways as well as highway traffic. The presentation concludes with some discussion on effects of globalization and sustainability in highway transportation research.

One of the answers to the urban crisis of the city in the 90s is the model of the compact city in which the principle of sustainable development is incorporated. Sustainable development is a complex goal which demands the defining of several complementary approaches and strategies. This paper considers the possibilities of upgrading of transportation through the incorporation of the principle of sustainable development for the model of the compact city

The study concludes governance models of metropolitan areas is that whatever solution is adopted, depending on the specific national or regional problems facing will be necessary authority or agency with the capacity planning (spatial) control, revision , preservation and application of metropolitan strategy. The metropolitan area must have the professional resources strategic planning in the medium and long term policy analysis at the metropolitan level, correlate and establish balance between sectorial interests and those of the metropolitan area. With the advent of the automobile and the transition to mass production of various auto brands were developed in parallel and road transport networks, linking the large urban areas. Populated urban centers, rural areas and are directly affected by the exponential growth of population mobility and more striking movement of goods. Road traffic is orderly movement of vehicles and people, focusing on areas of land specially arranged for this...

This article draws attention to the connection between transport planning and the settlement pattern and consequently the need for integrated planning of both the settlement and transport system. It primarily focuses on the suburbanization of Ljubljana and the state of public passenger transport in the Ljubljana Urban Region. Certain topical transport studies and measures are discussed from this perspective. The analysis shows the need for integrated planning that could be realized in the form of the concept of a polycentric layout of the region with interconnected centers as the main bearers of residential and business functions.

Focusing on the implementation of increas ingly strict energy and emission standards, the effect of the rapid increase in the use of motor vehicles on the degree of air pollution and energy consumption is completely neglected. All recent technological improvements and changes in the transport sector: sub stitution of fuels, increased use of diesel vehicles, direct gasoline injection, supercharg ing, electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles, etc., cannot offset massive growth in traffic, combined with significantly heavier, more powerful, more luxurious and thus more fuel-consuming vehicles. Hence, in this paper we focused on the carbon emissions and energy consumption of urban transport in Belgrade from an international perspective. Although the level of automobile CO 2 emissions in Belgrade is still very low at 228 CO 2 kg/per capita, due to the low volume of automobile passenger kilometres (1,502 pkm), the fact must not be overlooked that automobile mobility is of major importance to the total level of energy consumption in urban transport, and this can change surprisingly quickly. Only if Belgrade adopts transport and spatial development strategies similar to those applied by wealthy Asian metropolises at a similar stage of development is there high probability that its total urban transport CO 2 emissions will stop at a reasonable level of around 700-800 kg CO 2 /per capita. Belgrade can prevent a dramatic increase in CO 2 emissions and energy consumption (and mitigate the negative local environmental effects of traffic congestion, traffic accidents, and air pollution), only if it: 1. Implements a more decisive strategy to limit private vehicle use while its level of car passenger km (PKT) is still relatively low. 2. Does not try to solve its transport problems only by trying to build urban road infrastructure (bridges and ring roads). 3. Concentrates on more CO 2 and energy-efficient urban transport systems, while at the same time …. 4. Developing urban rail systems (metro or LRT) with exclusive tracks that are immune to traffic congestion on urban streets.

In the year 2007, it has been statistically noted, that the number of persons living in the cities has exceeded 50% globally. In accordance with this trend of growth of city residents, by the year 2030, 6 out of 10 people will be living in the cities and this number will increase to 7 out of 10 by the year 2050. The questions of optimal functioning, sustainable growth and quality of urban life are now more important than ever and the city traffic system has a crucial role in it. The optimal contribution of the city's traffic system in the functioning and development of the city, especially with the expansion of its population, is only possible by acquiring the technical, technological, organizational and compatibility and complementarity of the transport systems in supplying the demand for transport.  Index Terms-city traffic system, compatibility, complementarity of the transport systems, growth, development

pursuing their own local policies. In order to ensure a more quality growth of the town and region, the Ljubljana urban region should as soon as possible become a full-fledged entity. Any further development undoubtedly requires the elaboration of a Spatial Development Strategy for the central Slovenian region and the elaboration of a Spatial Order for the Municipality of Ljubljana area and at least other 14 neighbouring communes.

Transportation Research Procedia

Common development issues in historic city centers are dense urban blocks (with buildings that do not follow modern construction standards), narrow traffic corridors, and low mobility of pedestrians and cyclists. Modern solutions, like smart traffic control systems, parking restrictions, the introduction of speed limitations and dynamic yellow lanes, increasing control of existing yellow lanes, and the establishment of multimodal solutions, are introduced to eliminate traffic problems in these areas. When it comes to the abovementioned development issues, the historic Lower Town area in Croatia's capital Zagreb, with residential and commercial buildings and infrastructure dating from the beginning of the 20th century, is no exception. Following a very strong earthquake that hit in March 2020, severely damaging the structures in Zagreb's historical center, a program for the complete reconstruction of this area is being developed, which will contain the Urban mobility development program. This paper presents the process and the results of Zagreb City's Lower Town urban transport reprogramming performed by the University of Zagreb, Faculty of Civil Engineering. The main premise of the Zagreb historic center reconstruction program is that the quality of life in the area will be improved through the regeneration of neglected and unorganized city blocks, as well as the planning and construction of new public spaces. The aspiration is the transformation of Lower Town into the "15-minute city". The prerequisite for this is (1) improved mobility and (2) reshaped transportation system, with the emphasis on cost-effective technical solutions and the integration of zeroemission modes of transport, and green mobility. At the same time, it will be necessary to preserve buildings and infrastructure that are part of the identity of the City and to prevent the transformation of the reconstruction process into a process of gentrification.

The state of the system on which urban mobility in Bosnia and Herzegovina in all cities depends is unsatisfactory and requires a detailed analysis of the situation and an assessment of the trend in relation to the strategic directions of development in the world. Public transport of passengers is designated as an extremely important system for establishing sustainable mobility. The paper identifies key information that reflects the trend of development of public urban transport in the world and analyzes the state of public urban passenger transport at the level of the city of Sarajevo. The transport policy of the City of Sarajevo is analyzed and its commitment to be based on the principles of sustainable development and innovations in transport, transport and communication technology.
