Importance of transport analysis in large urban projects

Abstract

In a series of urban analyses used in the development of urban plans, there is also a traffic analysis. It is aimed at assessing the impact of the capacity of planned contents on the transport network of the narrower and wider area. In this paper, a large city project for the Belgrade waterfront area was selected as a case study and the analysis done as a transport study for the planning process for this location. Traffic analysis deals with the assessment of how much load planned purposes (housing, business, commercial, public facilities, etc.) will generate and how this will affect the existing and planned road network, standing out approach with six basic phases used in the research and description of the differences between three conceptualized network designs. For these purposes, the appropriate software is used, which for the set network load parameters at different times of the day creates scenarios of the number of vehicles and dominant directions of movement and indicates the shortcomings of the network that needs to be adapted to the requirements of users (0 -with modest attractiveness based on previous plans for the area, 1-3 for different network designs in the peak hours). This type of analysis with its results provides an input or planning the spatial organization of content and connections within the area and with a wider environment.
