Traffic ecology

Promet donosi značajne društveno-ekonomske prednosti, ali istovremeno ima negativne posljedice za okoliš, ljudsko zdravlje i naše općenito okruženje. Najveći izazov prometne ekologije je održivost nesmetanog odvijanja prometa uz minimalne ili nikakve štetne utjecaje na okoliš. Prometni zagađivači su prvenstveno emisije ispušnih plinova u okoliš i buka koji se mogu rješiti primjenom ekološki prihvatljivih strategija, zakonima i uvođenjem raznih propisa. U ovome radu definirani su pojmovi prometa, ekologije i prometne ekologije te je analiziran utjecaj pojedinih prometnih grana na okoliš sa primjerima najvećih zagađivača iz svake. Cilj ovog rada je, kroz analizu primjera, ukazati na načine organizacije ekološki prihvatljivog prometa.Transport brings significant socio-economic advantages, but at the same time it has negative consequences for the environment, human health and our general environment. The biggest challenge of transport ecology is the sustainability of the smooth flow of transport with minimal or no harmful effects on the environment. Transport pollutants are primarily emissions of exhaust gases into the environment and noise, which can be solved by applying environmentally friendly strategies, laws and introducing various regulations. In this paper, the concepts of transport, ecology and traffic ecology are defined, and the impact of individual transport branches on the environment is analysed using the examples of the biggest polluters from each. The aim of this paper is, through the analysis of examples, to point out ways of organizing environmentally friendly transport
