This paper analyzes the automobile accessibility of Prague from the Czech territory over a 100-year period: from the creation of independent Czechoslovakia to the planned completion of an arterial network of motorways and high-speed roadways in 2020. Using publications containing information about the evolution of the road network in Czechia, we digitised historical maps and created geo-databases of the road infrastructure. We then produced accessibility models and performed accessibility analyses for four years – 1920, 1960, 2001 and 2020, using ArcGIS 9.3. These were compared and changes in accessibility were identified using cartographic tools.

The road graph is the main layer of a digital navigation map. With the development of geoinformation technologies it is possible to use the road graph to solve various tasks: route construction, analysis of the use of the road network, analysis of road congestion, geomarketing research, updating the database based on the discrepancy between the data in reality and in the application. The purpose of this research is to consider in detail the applied problems that are solved on the basis of the road graph of аn navigation application. These tasks are considered on the example of HERE Technologies, which has many years of experience in the creation and use of navigation applications.

AbstractOverloaded vehicles pose a real threat to road safety and significantly contribute to the degradation of the road surface. High-Speed Weigh in Motion (HS-WIM) stations are the commonly used method of eliminating them from traffic. In Poland, HS-WIM stations operate in pre-selection mode, sending information to services about the potential exceedance of acceptable standards by a specific vehicle. The article presents the results of the data analysis from selected HS-WIM stations operating on the national road network in Poland indicating significant limitations of the effectiveness of the whole system. The main reason for this may be that carriers use the knowledge about the HS-WIM stations location and working time to avoid inspections. The results presented in the paper indicate, among other things, that in some locations the share of vehicles overloaded with traffic increases significantly outside the working hours of the controlling services. For Light Commercial Vehicle, the share of overloaded vehicles in this group is also significant. Also, the paper indicates that the effectiveness of the procedure for determining vehicle overload has been limited due to errors in classification.

On The Road

The European Directive on the Road Infrastructure Safety Improvement (2008/96/EC) has established the implementation of appropriate procedures as the basic tools for improving the road infrastructure on the trans-European road network. The Law on Roads (2018) prescribes the implementation of the following procedures: Road safety impact assessment; Road safety audit; Road safety inspection; Risk mapping; Black spot identification; and In depth road accident studies. The Law on Roads also prescribes that the Minister will prescribe the manner of implementation and the contents of the Evaluation, Audit and Independent Assessment reports, as well as the manner of determining the major risk portions and the identification and ranking of hazardous sites (black spots). Since the method of implementation and the content of the report are not yet prescribed, the authors contributed in this paper to defining the manner of implementation and content of the traffic safety report on the example of the section of the highway, as the highest category of state road. In the framework of the training of auditors and auditors, among others, a pilot project was carried out for the safety of traffic on the part of the E-75 (A1) highway, about 2,7 km ahead of the Mali Požarevac loop, including the loop. The verified part of the highway also includes a ramp with a toll ramp, service facility, overpass, bridge, etc., so the selected checked part is representative for defining a recommendation for the mode of implementation and the model for the preparation of the report.

Abstract This article summarizes the results of the preparation, realization and financing of the road infrastructure in Slovakia. Inconsistencies exist when working with costs, budgetary indicators, etc., resulting in the creation of unrealistic cost indicators that are unusable in practice. The results are not reliable, and their use for cost planning in construction preparations, comparisons of construction costs, etc., can be problematic. The proposed solution would be to harmonize the recommended classification of construction works (Methodical Guidelines of the Construction and Regional Development Ministry No. 1/2004) with the classification of the construction features in the Ministry’s Decree No. 83/2008.

The realizing and improvement of road infrastructure, of modern road networks provides normal, safe and pleasant road traffic conditions and also help prevent road accidents. The road network, with its constructive characteristics, has to offer optimal conditions for the movement of vehicles, pedestrians and other categories of participants in the road traffic. Starting from the case study of a road sector with heavy road traffic, the current paper analyzes the increase in road safety in Romanian localities along European and national roads through the implementation of specific measures such as setting up sidewalks, installing New Jersey median barriers, expanding the road sectors with 2+1 lanes, replacing normal pedestrian crossings with elevated crossings or with pedestrian crossing with mid-road waiting areas etc.

The City

The following article proposes a method to identify structures inside a road network with a flow-base community detection algorithm implemented on a graph representing the city road network. According to the results obtained in the cities of Mexico and Monterrey, the method effectively divides road infrastructure into several communities and preserves geographical neighboring. The frontiers of communities match administrative divisions along with other frontiers inside the city. The identification of communities could be useful to study the heterogeneity of street connectivity inside the city which could lead to improvements in urban mobility or even the application of public policies.
