Traffic Modeling of Intersections on Vajnorska Street in Bratislava

Abstract

This article focuses on traffic modeling of intersections in Aimsun. The intersections studied are in Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia. Every year, the number of vehicles on roads increases and congestions are created. Individual intersections do not have unlimited capacity. Simulations help to predict possible future problems and thus the possibility to prevent them. Accordingly, at intersections on Vajnorská street, a traffic survey was carried out using video cameras. Then, simulations were carried out in Aimsun. The results are shown in the tables separately for each intersection along with the determined overall quality level of the intersection. In addition to the current situation, simulations were carried out for increased traffic by 10% and 20%, and overall quality levels were also determined. Finally, the results were evaluated and compared with each other. This article points out the importance of research into the permeability of important points of the road network: intersections. It is necessary to carry out capacity assessments when planning any construction that will affect traffic in each location.

The Analysis of Pneumatic Wheel Rim Deformation While Hitting an Obstacle

“…This factor is also widely discussed in the literature [6][7][8], examples of studies from the Czech Republic are presented in [9] and from Hungary in [10]. The issues of road transport safety are widely discussed in the literature, for example in [11][12][13][14][15][16]. Many authors pay attention to vehicle safety systems: braking systems, including Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Electronic Stability Program (ESP) [17][18][19][20][21][22], vehicle suspension systems [23][24][25][26], tires [27][28][29][30], tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) [31,32], and other systems [33][34][35][36].…”

The Planning Process of Transport Tasks for Autonomous Vans—Case Study

“…Huge development took place in the transport sector, covering all modes of transport: air sea, rail, and road [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. In road transport, this development included not only vehicles [8][9][10] but also the development of road infrastructure [11][12][13][14] and progress in the field of fuels and energy [15][16][17][18]. Among the research on fuels, the large share of gaseous fuels, such as LPG [19,20], natural gas [21], CNG [22], LNG [23,24] hydrogen feed systems [25], PEM fuel cells [26], and others [27][28][29], should be emphasized.…”
