MJERE ZA USPOSTAVLJANJE SIGURNIJE URBANE MOBILNOSTI

Author(s): Nermin Palić,Velibor Peulić,Goran Matijević / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 1/2019

The majority of the world's population lives in urban areas. In these areas, many different activities come together, such as living, working, and recreation, and the need for travel is linked to this. Combining these activities places greater pressure on the sustainable mobility, safety, and liveability of the cities and their environment, leading to complex problems. The one that stands out most is safety in urban areas. Existing trends estimate that road traffic will become the fifth leading cause of death by 2030, unless drastic measures are taken. Road traffic accidents are the leading cause of mortality for young people aged 15 to 29. Injuries caused by road traffic have a disproportionate impact on vulnerable groups of transport users. More than half of people killed in traffic accidents are people aged 15 to 44 years. It is important to point out that the most vulnerable group of traffic participants are motorcyclists. Of the total number of deaths caused by traffic accidents, 22% are among pedestrians, 4% with bicyclists and 23% among motorcyclists. Prevention of injuries caused by road traffic must include a wide range of activities, such as road infrastructure development and management, supply of safer vehicles, law enforcement, mobility planning and environmental planning. Through this research, special attention will be paid to safer mobility and to all the activities that contribute to it.

Transport accessibility and mobility: a forecast of changes in the face of planned development of the network of expressways and motorways in Poland

Author(s): Michał Kowalski,Szymon Wiśniewski / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2019

The article presents a forecast of changes in the level of transport accessibility and mobility in Poland as a result of the anticipated development of the network of expressways and motorways. The progress which has been made in this respect in the last few years in Poland is unquestionable and unrepeatable by any other European country. Will the subsequent investment plans concerning the road network of the highest parameters offer equally impressive results as far as the increase in Poland’s territorial cohesion is concerned? The aim of this article is to establish in what way the planned infrastructure investments will affect the changes in transport accessibility and mobility as well as whether they will result in the changes in traffic flows directed to Warsaw and other regional centres. To achieve this, an analysis of the present and target state of the road network in Poland was conducted from the perspective of changes in accessibility, anticipated traffic flows, and mobility. For this purpose the authors used the analyses of isochrone and accumulative accessibility in ArcMap environment and research into traffic flows and their changes in the Visum software. The conducted research showed that the planned transport network might result in induced traffic through a increase in accessibility (the central variant) with the assumption that an increase in mobility would be vented in the real face of the phenomenon of motility. The fact of pening new road sections of expressways will contribute to substantial changes in the directions of traffic flows only to a slight extent, and the only transformations concern regions with already developed fast car transport infrastructure whose functionality is limited due to the lack of its cohesion in the subsequent course or lack of a developed network of expressways and motorways.

Author(s): Siyka Demirova / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2019

Factors that determine the effect of using automated management systems (AMS) in logistics are no longer just industrial, but also social and environmental, related to different structures in different parts of the world. In the current stage of industrial development, they are already forming the concept of modern production development using artificial intelligence and in logistics. Technological impacts dictate the tendency to continuously reduce manual, heavy and unattractive labor at the expense of higher productivity. The social aspect demands the discovery of new or preserving old jobs, and the environmental aspect imposes a lasting trend towards compliance with environmental standards and sustainable development parameters. The purpose of this report is to explore these differently impacting factors and on this basis to build an AMS of logistics across the value chain with the ability to incorporate digital intelligence.

BİLGİLENDİRME GRAFİĞİ OLARAK ULAŞIM HARİTALARI VE ORDU ŞEHİRİÇİ ULAŞIMI İÇİN UYGULAMA ÖNERİSİ

Author(s): Aytaç Özmutlu,Sema Yozgat / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 36/2019

There are a number of new challenges that need to be solved when developing urban areas and expanding residential areas. The individual in an effort to keep pace with the fast flowing urban life depending on the development needs more and more every day purified information to facilitate the daily life. The most popular areas for this need are the urban public transportation systems. It is seen that modern transportation maps are designed in order to understand the complex routes in different types of transportation systems developed in order to overcome the urban transportation difficulties in a faster and easier way. As an orientation chart, these transportation maps, an important element of the information design, are a means of information that makes life easier in the dazzling traffic of the modern world and visuals. With the help of the transportation maps, people can easily and quickly learn the lines or lines to the point they want to reach at the point. These maps cater to a broad target audience without age, gender or language. For this reason, transportation maps should have a simple, clear, understandable design that uses international common graphic codes (ideogram, icon, symbol, pictogram, color, etc.) to have a universal visual language. Nowadays, transportation maps are widely used for rail and light rail systems such as metro and tramway, while it is rarely used for highway public transportation. This research suggests the application of a graphical guidance system for highway public transport, based on the same graphical analysis approach, by analyzing the modern transportation maps designed by Harry Beck for the London subway in 1931, the first example of which is now widely used. For this application proposal, the city bus transportation system of the city of Ordu was selected as a sample

Causal Relationships between Transports, Territorial Management and Foreign Direct Investment: Fresh Evidence for the Developing Countries

Author(s): Samir Saidi,Sami Hammami / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2016

Among the traditional determinants, transport infrastructures affect directly and significantly the territorial attractiveness of the foreign direct investment in the host countries. The increasing importance of this new determinant is essentially due to the great causal relationship with several other factors such as the territorial management in the host country. The aim of the present paper is to evaluate the importance of transport infrastructures to develop the territorial attractiveness of the developing countries to the multinational firms through their contribution to developing the territorial management and to enhance the quality of the private investment conditions. To do this, we have used a panel data model for 27 developing countries over the period between 1990 and 2014. The results prove that the transport infrastructures affect positively and significantly the territorial attractiveness by the positive influence on the territorial management. Also, the results indicate that the impact of these infrastructures on the territorial management, subsequently on the FDI attractiveness, becomes more important in presence of a good logistics function.
