Sažetak
In accordance with the advanced concepts of humanisation and rationalisation of traffic, an increasing number of activities is being undertaken in order to calm the traffic in the central pans of the cities and to increase it in the suburban districts. The development of transport means is accompanied by the need to redefine the segment of urban area due to greater mobility of the citizens. One of the efficient systems of organising traffic is the urban railway. The aim of the urban railway is to alleviate the burden on the urban and suburban traffic routes accommodating excessive road traffic and to provide rational integration into the system of urban public transit. The traffic network in the Split-Kaštela area has been mainly constructed at times of very low traffic requirements, and today it cannot satisfy the increased traffic needs. Because of the impossibility to substantially increase the capacity of the urban roads, lack of parking space, and also due to environmental requirements, no increase in the share of the personal transport of passengers should be expected. In such conditions public transport of passengers can save the urban agglomeration from total traffic and environmental collapse. The railways is precisely the mode of transport that should represent in the future the backbone of the public urban and suburban transport in the Split-Kaštela region.
