RAIL SYSTEMS FOR PUBLIC URBAN TRANSPORT

The experience of major cities in Europe and in the world has influenced the dimensioning of the required capacities of the transportation means. Based on this knowledge, the criteria for using individual modes and systems as well as types of transportation means were created. The increase in passenger flows beyond capacity margins has resulted in the introduction of transportation means of higher capacities. The decision on the very choice is made on the basis of an integral analysis of advantages and drawbacks of individual modes and systems, including in the decision-making process the current situation in the traffic in the city with the evaluation of passenger flow values in the future. The size of the traffic demands in the City of Zagreb requires higher capacity transportation means, on the standard rail system gauge, featuring much higher commercial speed, reliability, comfort, safety in relation to the previous transportation means. The decision about the mode and the system should be made as soon as possible.
