Development of urban traffic management in the city of Rijeka

To establish quality solutions in urban and multimodal transport of the city of Rijeka, a scientific research project Connected traffic was started within the Center of Competence for Smart Cities, the city of Rijeka (CEKOM). The primary starting point of the project is to promote a sustainable clean and energy-efficient mode of transport. The aim of this paper is to present research development activities within the results of this project related to the improvement of urban traffic control efficiency the city of Rijeka. The sustainability of urban transport requires the application of energy efficiency measures while reducing primary energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. The methodological approach in research activities has so far analyzed the existing traffic scenarios and defined the part of the covered traffic area. According to the analysis of examples of good traffic management practices in several European cities, the positive results generated by the system have been identified. The requirements for vehicle recognition system sensors were determined, and ecological and meteorological parameters were defined. Locations for measuring traffic, meteorological and environmental parameters with explanation and associated methodology have been proposed. The traffic model of the city of Rijeka and the immediate surroundings was developed with an appropriate transport network of corridors including associated roads and intersections that will serve as the basis for the implementation of traffic simulations according to standard operating procedures or incidental situations. Based on the existing traffic demand, a macro- simulation of traffic flow was performed. The further project activities are related to the development of micro-simulation modelling of the test area thus generating micro-simulation of traffic flow concerning specific standard procedures. Further research will improve the quality of the traffic management center of the city of Rijeka through the Centre for Monitoring and Management of Integrated Traffic. The implementation of a data collection platform for urban transport and urban mobility decision-making will enable the automatic distribution of real-time data to all road users.
