This study consists of the analysis of public passenger transport in Zadar County, that is, transport on the County and school lines and suggestions of transport rationalization. The rationalization comprises the application of the County and school lines integration, as well as suggestions of other measures which aim to reduce transport costs financed by Zadar County. The objectives to rationalize public passenger transport have been defined, all County transport lines of schoolchildren and other passengers have been analysed as well as actual deficiencies in the city, County and school transport needs. Road transport infrastructure, carriers and transportation vehicles have been analysed. The future transport demand has been reviewed and the prediction of passengers on lines has been provided. Within the next five to ten years no relevant changes will take place, meaning that the balance in transport supply and demand will not be disrupted significantly. This study presents the measures for transport cost reduction and increase in the safety level in the performance of public transport.

The Cost

The purpose of this study is to quantify the marginal external costs associated with freight transport in South Africa. Six cost elements are included as externality cost items, namely, costs related to accidents, emissions, roadway land availability, policing, noise and congestion. Inputs in the calculations were a gravity-oriented freight flow model, a road transport cost model, actual transport costs for other modes, a warehousing cost survey, an inventory delay calculation and various national sources of information such as accident statistics and government budgets. Estimation techniques resulted in advances for externality cost measurement in South Africa. The quantification of the cost elements will be used to update the South African Freight Demand Model. The results show that the cost of transportation would have been 20% more if external factors were taken into account. The marginal rates of externalities can be used to develop scenarios based on alternative choices for South Africa's freight transport infrastructure configuration.

Transport infrastructure of the city affects the cadastral value of real estate. Transport accessibility of real estate affects the investment attractiveness of land. Transport accessibility increases the market value of the property. Modeling changes in the market value of real estate is an urgent task. Increasing the cadastral value of real estate and tax payments forms a model of investment in transport infrastructure. The article describes an example of modeling the increase in the price of land near the Central bridge of the city of Novosibirsk. The construction of the Central bridge is planned in 2019–2022. The new bridge increases the value of real estate. The cost of land increases by 50–100 %. The scheme of location of price zones is made. The increasing coefficients in the range from 1 to 2 are determined. Investors are given information about the increase in the value of land after the construction of the bridge. The payback period of construction projects is calculated.

The paper evaluates landscape development, land-use changes, and transport infrastructure variations in the city of Martin and the town of Vrútky, Slovakia, over the past 70 years. It focuses on analyses of the landscape structures characterizing the study area in several time periods (1949, 1970, 1993, 2003); the past conditions are then compared with the relevant current structure (2018). Special attention is paid to the evolution of the landscape elements forming the transport infrastructure. The development and progressive changes in traffic intensities are presented in view of the resulting impact on the formation of the landscape structure. The research data confirm the importance of transport as a force determining landscape changes, and they indicate that while railroad accessibility embodied a crucial factor up to the 1970s, the more recent decades were characterized by a gradual shift to road transport.

Abstract At present, high traffic intensity level on the roads currently saturates a great demand for individual transportation. Mobility is an important part of everyday activities in cities. The increasing number of passenger and freight vehicles on the widening transport infrastructure raises several problems. The range of use of public passenger transport does satisfy enough the citizens needs and its use is constantly decreasing, especially in the new EU countries. One of the reasons is also the growing sale and production of new passenger cars in the EU, resulting in congestion in the road infrastructure of cities and environmental problems. These issues are dealt with the modern City Logistics concept. The contribution focused on the basic principles of city logistics, the reasons for its development and, in particular, the possibilities of practical use. An example is the city of Trenčín in Slovakia, where a regional rail passenger transport is proposed for city traffic service including Park and Ride system.

Introduction. An analysis of the most well-known agglomeration management models in Russia and abroad has shown that there are no comprehensive solutions in this area yet. The problem of information modeling of control actions on the state and development of the road network of these territorial entities is not well understood and requires further comprehensive research. The purpose of the paper is to formulate the most important principles and methodological approaches for building a modern information system for managing the road infrastructure of urban agglomerations.Methods and models. The designed system based on information modeling technologies of transport interaction processes between corresponding points. The structure of the system presented on the principles of multi-agent project management. The authors identified the types of mathematical models for solving key problems in the framework of design modules by creation of an agglomeration transport framework, ensuring the regulatory requirements of the transport and operational condition of roads and by creation of conditions for the continuous and safe movement of road transport.Results. The architecture of the “Road Network-6D BIM” developed system reflected the relations of two information processes: filling the system with knowledge and forming box solutions using a knowledge bank. The n-D modeling based on three-dimensional projections of structures (3-D) with the addition of digital modeling technologies: calendar terms, resources and financing of objects in the life cycle. The authors tested system elements during the experiment and the implementation of the project for the integrated development of the transport infrastructure of the Omsk agglomeration.Discussion and conclusions. The implementation of the “Road Network-6D BIM” project in the proposed concept makes a definite contribution to solving the problems of managing the road network of the city agglomeration by increasing the level of intellectualization of the tasks at all stages of project management.

The Russian Federation

Currently, in many cities of the Russian Federation and the EurAsEC countries, due to an increase in the level of motorization, there is an increase in traffic congestion, which leads to unproductive losses of time and an increase in transport costs in the economic sector. Therefore, urban infrastructure is currently unable to provide unhindered traffic flow. The scientific and practical purpose of the article is to summarize the best practices of transport planning of the urban route network in large cities of the Russian Federation, and integrate it in cities of the EurAsEC countries. The development of such projects occurs, as a rule, in several stages. The main stages are as it follows: 1) a survey of passenger flows on public road transport, 2) analysis of the data and development of measures to optimize the route network. Based on the task, an analysis is carried out of a survey of passenger flows (transport mobility of the population), stopping points and the intensity of public transport, including: general provisions and a methodology for conducting a survey of urban public passenger transport. The experience of foreign countries in the use of commercial organizations for urban passenger transport, in the organization of transport systems functioning, the definition and justification of the role of each type of transport (for the public and private sectors) is analyzed. The proposals on the development of interconnections and the functioning of various modes of transport are considered. Measures have been proposed to optimize the route network of urban passenger transport based on modeling in a macroscopic model, and quality standards for the provision of services and the introduction of navigation management systems aimed at improving the quality of public services have been determined.

Currently, the transport infrastructure plays a decisive role in the development of the city. For the development of the transport system of the territory, it is necessary to develop a whole range of measures to improve both the organization of traffic and transport infrastructure, which implies the creation of parking space, logistics of passenger and cargo transportation and other aspects. Tyumen, being a rapidly developing city and transport hub, objectively suffers from insufficient development of the road transport network. A significant problem is the congestion of the city center, which increases the travel time to the center from residential areas of the city. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the strategic plans for the development of transport infrastructure to assess the potential of the city of Tyumen, which is rapidly approaching the status of a millionaire city, the core of a large agglomeration.
