The Kosova landslide is located in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. This large translational landslide caused significant damage to the main road, located in the toe area, and to buildings on the slide mass during its most recent movement in May 2014. In this Photographic Feature the landslide and the associated building damage are illustrated and the authors’ views on future investigation and monitoring are expressed. It seems clear that the landslide has the potential to dam the Bosna River and to create significant risk associated with the hazards of flooding and subsequent landslide dam burst. As the river forms the border between the Federation and the Republika Srpska, the governance of the landslide risk management process is also a major issue that will need to be resolved. It is clear that a significant amount of work is required on the Kosova landslide and this Photographic Feature has been prepared to highlight the main issues, including building damage, and risks related to the landslide and to provide a very brief introduction to those who may visit it in the future.

Due to its geographical situation, the port of Ploče has become a junction of land and sea routes within the Transport Corridor Vc, as a part of the Mediterranean Transport Corridor, passing through Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Hungary. The paper deals with the analysis of the connecting roads leading from the port of Ploče as well as with the evaluation of the respective road traffic volume. Although the congestion on certain road sections is related to the tourist transit traffic, the road traffic volume at the Transport Corridor Vc within Bosnia and Herzegovina indicates the need for the construction of a motorway to stretch out the Corridor. The planned modernisation will fundamentally improve the main road infrastructure on the Transport Corridor Vc that will facilitate the transport of goods and enable shorter travel time from the port of Ploče to the hinterland. Considering that the major portion of the freight transport from the port of Ploče uses road transport services, the envisaged modernisation will significantly increase competitiveness of the port, mostly due to the intermodal transport mode.

In this paper we are processing a newly discovered Roman road which is located on the mountain Bisina, in the northeast Bosnia. The road is paved with large stone blocks and it’s long about 2,2 km. Approximate road width is about 2,5 and 3,5 meters. Namely, it is very difficult to determine the exact width because the curbs are  missing on both sides of the road, while in some places the Roman road is partially  covered with layers of soil. One local Roman road, visible in a length of about 550 m.  connected the Roman settlement formed around Gradina in the village of Mramorka,  where an early Christian basilica was discovered, with the mentioned Roman route. The remains of the Roman roads on Bišina can not be identified, based on written and epigraphic sources, with some of already confirmed Roman roads. Nevertheless, mentioned road can be approximately integrated into the network of Roman roads on the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina. In my opinion, this direction is a continuation of the road that led from Salona to the interior of Dalmatia. It is the road that has  been made during the administration of Publius Cornelius Dolabella, who connected  the capital of the province of Dalmatia with the settlement of HE [....?] ASTEL [....?]  DAESITATIVM. Findings on the ground indicated that one sequel of this Roman  road has lead to the north. The assumed direction of the Roman road is: Breza / Dabravina – mountain Zvijezda – Konjuh – Kaštijelj – Bišina – Pantelići – Šeher – Matkovac – Caparde – Kulina – southeastern slopes Majevica – the valley of the river Sapna.  This direction was the shortest communication between Salona and Sirmium. The discovery of the Roman road on the Bišina Mountain is very important because it indicates that inaccessible mountain massifs, which are now uninhabited and difficult to pass, were not an obstacle for the Romans during the construction of roads, as previously believed. Also, the discovery of the road indicates that we are still so far from the complete reconstruction of the Roman road network in the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

ABSTRACT The Pacitan-Ngadirojo road section is one of the East Java Province Roads located in Pacitan District, which includes cross-district roads. The condition of the Pacitan-Ngadirojo road segment is generally a flat road that has several bends, inclines and derivatives along the link. Passing through a number of sub-districts and villages in the Pacitan Regency area which has right and left sides, there are settlements, agricultural land, plantations, gardens, rice fields, and traditional shopping places.To analyze road performance, the writer uses the method Manual Kapasitas Jalan Indonesia (MKJI, 1997), while to calculate the thickness of road pavement, we use the method Bina Marga (1987).From the results of the road performance analysis, data were obtained as follows: Degree of Saturation (DS) on the Pacitan-Ngadirojo road segment beginning in 2011 amounted to 0.047 while the performance analysis for the next 10 years obtained a DS of 0,078. This means that the level of road services on the road segment has not yet taken into account traffic actions or management, which in this case is road widening.For the calculation of pavement thickness with the Bina Marga Method the flexible pavement thickness on the Pacitan-Ngadirojo road section is 7,5 cm. Key words : Road Improvement Planing, Pavement Thickness, Degree of Saturation

Traffic bottleneck refers to the road section or node that often causes the propagation or spread of traffic congestion in the road network, which is the source of the whole road network congestion. In this paper, the author analyzes the bottleneck prediction of urban road network based on improved PSO algorithms and fuzzy control. This paper analyzes the factors and characteristics of the main road of the system, proposes the traffic coordination control of the main road based on the delay model, and carries on the statistical simulation to the actual traffic data, develops the basic theory of the traffic coordination control which is more effective than the traditional timing control strategy. Compared with the traditional model, the algorithm considers the waiting time of the red light at the intersection. For the congested road section, it can better calculate the travel time of the vehicle, making the results more accurate and more applicable. The results of this study can provide a strong theoretical basis and prediction scheme for the traffic management and control of the road network in the target area.
