Basic Characteristics of Traffic on Primary Rural Roads in Serbia

Abstract

This article presents the results of an overall analysis of traffic demand characteristics on Republic of Serbia primary road network based on available data for the years 1988-2009. The analysis is based on network subdivision in three functional entities and collected data on values of basic parameters as Average Annual Daily Traffic (AADT) and Vehicle Kilometers / Year. Traffic demand changes of international origin, destination and transit trips are of special interest due to the fact that primary rural road network in Serbia accommodates a substantial volume of such road movement. Road sections of Pan European Multimodal Transportation Corridor X in Serbia, actually the trunk roads in Southeast Europe, are analyzed further in order to define demand characteristics and future prospects. Based on the general analysis results conclusions are defined together with recommendations for near future actions.

Evaluation of Non-motorised traffic

“…Pored kratkih putovanja, trend rasta biciklističkog saobraćaja primetan je i na vangradskim deonicama puteva u Srbiji, i to na sva tri funkcionalna nivoa -A, B i C (Maletin & Tubić, 2013). Ovaj rad opisuje tipove uticaja nemotorizovanih vidova saobraćaja koji bi trebalo biti uzeti u obzir u budućim projekcijama i projektima.…”

Application of AHP-GIS Technology to Assess Congestion Vulnerability, a Case Study of Ranchi City, India

“…In past, numerous investigations on traffic flow (Bazaras et al, 2008;Basu & Maitra, 2007;Junevicius & Bogdevicius, 2009;Kalasova & Stacho, 2006;Prentkovskis et al, 2007) were performed to understand different aspects of it. Furthermore, there were studies which focused on congestion alleviation measures (Triantis et al, 2011), assessment of travel decisions in uncertain conditions (Ryley & Zany, 2013), development of technology to control speed in real time (Jimenez & Monitel, 2014), and assessment of transportation quality and traffic characteristics (Hamilton et al, 2012;Zezelj, 2013;Maletin & Tubic, 2013). However, none of these aforementioned investigations addressed the possibility of abrupt change in congestion due to internal or external factors.…”
