Innovative Concepts for Road Traffic Management

Diplomski rad istražuje upravljanje cestovnim prometnim sustavom, gdje je fokus na inovativnim i inteligentnim sustavima upravljanja. Ukratko su prikazani tradicionalni pristupi upravljanja pomoću znakova, svjetlosne signalizacije s fiksnim ciklusom, te sustavima obavještavanja. Opisano je funkcioniranje inteligentnih transportnih sustava i njihovo korištenje u upravljanju prometom. Prikazani su inovativni koncepti upravljanja cestovnim prometom u urbanim područjima pomoću prometno ovisne prometne signalizacije, sustava pametnog parkiranja, sustava davanja prednosti žurnim službama, te sustava za određivanje ruta. Kod inovativnog upravljanja cestovnim prometom na autocestama proučeni su sustavi upravljanja priljevnim tokovima, upravljanje ograničenjem brzine, elektronska naplata cestarine, te sustavi virtualnih cestovnih vlakova. Završno je istražena razina implementacije inovativnih sustava upravljanja cestovnim prometom u Republic Hrvatskoj.The thesis researches the management of the road transport system, where the focus is on innovative and intelligent management systems. Traditional control approaches using signs, light signaling with a fixed cycle, and notification systems are briefly presented. The functioning of intelligent transport systems and their use in traffic management are described. Innovative concepts of road traffic management in urban areas using traffic-dependent traffic signals, smart parking systems, systems for giving priority to urgent services, and systems for determining routes are presented. In the case of innovative road traffic management on highways, ramp metering system, variable speed limit control, electronic toll collection, and virtual road train systems were studied. Finally, the level of implementation of innovative road traffic management systems in the Republic of Croatia was investigated
