Transit Smart Solution for Bratislava – Example of Tramway Network Development

Abstract

The research presented was on the table more years and covers the cooperation of the University staff with City of Bratislava binding with the activity of private company. The base task was how to change the tremendous destruction of modal split in Bratislava, which growing on the side of private car usage. Results of couple 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 land use. The system solution is in the amplification by a capacitive new tramway network. In the conditions of Bratislava, we need to change the behaviour of the people in the mobility over the area of the Capital city of Slovakia. The task was to solve the problem in Bratislava agglomeration as well. The solution is shown as a part of the integrated public transport services possibility to operate regular all days’ mobility problems in the city and not only to cover the rush hours. This article is an overview of 5 years work of traffic engineers and planners to keep clear systematic approach and solutions with developers and municipality administration.

How to Maintain the Unsustainability of Mobility in the Development of Urban Areas? – Example from Slovakia

“…Example of the distribution of zonal activities on the road infrastructure for the city borough Bratislava -Vajnory (blue arrows are the connectors from the centroid of the zones to the street in model. One zone has a possibility to connect more streets) [ 24 ].…”

“…• Evaluate the proposed technical solutions to optimise the accessibility of the planned investment by all available modes of transport (public, dynamic, cycling, pedestrian, parking) -example of PT Tramway mobility in Figure 10; Example of the traffic model of the city borough Bratislava -Vajnory with new developments [24].…”

“…• Assess variable scenarios to serve the new area, with proposed stop locations examined by optimising for accessibility in the new developed area (Figure 11). An example of an accessibility analysis of bus stops is in [28,29]; • Analyse the technical alignment of the tram line with the values of passenger boardings per 24 h, together with an analysis of the turnover of alighting and boarding passengers at the stops (Figure 12). A comprehensive agenda of transport planning and traffic engineering works is presented in [24];…”
