Air pollution represents one of the most complex problems of humanity. Traffic contributes significantly to this by emitting large amounts of harmful gases. This problem is particularly pronounced at urban intersections due to frequent changes in vehicle movement dynamics. This paper primarily presents the influence of intersection geometry on pollutant emissions levels. In addition, the influence of various traffic policies promoting greater use of public transport and zero-emission vehicles is also examined. The research combines the field part of recording existing intersections in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina with traffic microsimulation. Detailed data on vehicles’ movements were obtained by advanced video processing using the DataFromSky tool, while the PTV Vissim 2022 and Bosch ESTM (2022) software were used to simulate traffic and estimate emissions at geometrically different intersections. The results showed that, in saturated traffic conditions, signalized intersections cause up to 50% lower emissions compared with two-lane and turbo roundabouts and that the impact of the geometric change is more significant than the impact of zero-emission vehicles. In unsaturated conditions, the differences in emissions at different intersections are negligible, with the highest reductions in pollution achieved by using zero-emission vehicles.

Efficient roadway management requires knowledge of the structural capacity of the roadway or the load-bearing capacity of the pavement structure. In order to determine the existing conditions of the pavement structure and define appropriate intervention measures, it is necessary to determine relevant impact on surface of the pavement structure on homogeneous road section. The aim of study is to investigate influence of distance between measurement spots of deflection to the value of relevant deflection. Based on calculation of representative deflections, error values were obtained depending on range of deflection measurements spots and subsections length considered.The key question is whether it is possible to obtain qualitative and quantitative data on the basis of which the structural state of the overall network with acceptable error can be estimated by increasing distance between measurements spots.
