Passenger ropeways represent an original and attractive way of transporting passengers. They are mainly deployed in mountainous conditions or urban agglomerations. In most cases, they are very closely linked to tourism. For their efficient operation and implementation of a wide range of analyses, various methods and approaches are used that differ from each other both in terms of results and input factors. Thanks to its options, the computer simulation method ranks among highly efficient tools. However, its use is often precluded by concerns about the complexity of modeling and the subsequent execution of simulation experiments. This paper presents a discrete simulation model of a real passenger ropeway with an effort to point out the fact that it is actually possible to create such model in addition to presenting a possible interpretation of the obtained results.
Abstract. Cycling traffic has been booming in urban agglomerationsrecently. This is due to the fact that using bicycles helps solve existing transport problems. The advantage is that it supports the limitation of the use of cars in city centers and thus reduces the negative impact of transport on the environment. It can be realized in various forms -using private bicycles or bike-sharing. Košice includes among cities where introducing bike-sharing is considered. Košice is a city that has its specific transport problems, whose partial solution may be to increase the support of cycling when one of the options is the introduction of a city bike-sharing system. The article offers a closer perspective at this issue in adaptation to real urban conditions. It introduces the possibility of introducing support for cycling traffic in the city of Košice based on the selection of suitable locations for building the stations and the subsequent evaluation of selected localities based on the determined criteria using the proportional index method.
