Modelling of Capacity and Public Transport Modal Split for New City Centre in Bratislava

Abstract

The article describes the detailed traffic modelling in new city centre, which is actually widely discussed by public and experts. The core of the problem is lying on the municipality, which put on the table a final decision about the change the modal split for public transport development. The north part of new city centre, which is under construction the suburb bus station. The solutions of new tram routes are taken into account. Results of traffic studies show, that how could be this change re-define the current traffic behaviour and create for the new area new functional interest and certainly the new quality of relationships of the territory. The system solution is the new public transport service for this area with which will be created by a capacitive new tramway network. The transport model has the importance of these empirical experiences for practice and final decision making. The city of Bratislava had a very detailed and defined layout of the Master Transport Plan and is a big impact to change on the side of developers. The question is why they have not complied with it and the answer would be found, because exact scenarios can show the disproportion for each details of organization of traffic flows, public transport lines with results of measurable sustainable mobility together with accessibility.

“…All these parameters are measurable, not subjective to the will of the "other sides" needs. The empirical experiences are published in [30].…”

Green Infrastructure: Legislative and Behavioral Approaches in the Context of Urban Engineering

“…From the above, we can clearly see the authors' perception of green infrastructure as an integral part of the quality of life. Currently, when designing integrated transport infrastructure, the priority focus is on its safety [5], [6], minimizing negative environmental impacts [7] to [9], preference for urban transport [10], and only marginal attention is paid to its influence on psychological health, in which green infrastructure can play a significant positive role.…”

“…The basic definition of the problem and its solutions with the new approach is derived from [7]. The development of the new city centre of Bratislava is in detail enough published in terms of the development of the land use and the issues of dynamic traffic in [5,13,14,15], and [16]. The main problem of the city of Bratislava is, however, to establish permanently (persistent) system, continuous and well-defined solution of mobility relationships so that the people were to decide to use to a greater extent the public transport.…”
