Influence of Traffic and Technical Elements of the Road on the Capacity and Road Traffic Safety

Prometna potražnja, u većini slučajeva, svake godine sve je veća, a kapaciteti prometnica su ograničeni. Postoje razne metode prognoziranja prometne potražnje te je u skladu s time potrebno planirati prometnu infrastrukturu. Elemente poprečnog presjeka ceste potrebno je oblikovati u skladu s namjenom i značenjem ceste, a u gradskim područjima potrebno je posebnu pozornost obratiti potrebi za izgradnjom i rekonstrukcijom pješačkih i biciklističkih staza. Svi ti elementi imaju određeni utjecaj na propusnu moć prometnice i sigurnost prometa. U ovom radu analiziran je utjecaj prometno-tehničkih elemenata ceste na odvijanje prometa na Vukomerečkoj cesti u gradu Zagrebu. Podaci o prometnom toku dobiveni su temeljem brojanja prometa te su zatim upotrijebljeni za razne analize te prijedlog novog rješenja na navedenoj prometnici.In the most cases, traffic demand is increasing every year but capacities of the roads are limited. There are various methods used to predict traffic demand and so traffic infrastructure needs to be planned accordingly. Cross-section elements of the road need to be designed in accordance with the purpose and meaning of the road and in urban areas special attention should be paid to the need for construction and reconstruction of pedestrian and bicycle paths. All these elements have some influence on the road capacity and traffic safety. This master's thesis analyzes the influence of traffic and technical elements of the road on traffic flow on Vukomerečka cesta in the city of Zagreb. Traffic flow data were obtained by traffic counting and then were used for various analyzes and for making a new solution on the specified road
