This book contains an abundance of numerical analyses based on
significant data sets, illustrating importance of environmentally
friendly solutions requiring transport networks to be redesigned or
clean zones to be implemented. What kind of steps should be taken
to redesign transport network? How to evaluate efficiency or
flexibility of transport system and city logistics? What factors
can be taken into account in the process of optimizing the
functioning of public transport or paid parking zones? How to
optimize supply chains (including last mile delivering and routing
problem)? Which of the multi-criteria methods should be applied to
support decision making processes while tackling problems of global
transport systems? Answers to these and many other questions can be
found in this book.With regard to the research results discussed
and the selected solutions applied, the book entitled "Decision
support methods in modern transportation systems and networks"
primarily addresses the needs of three target groups: * Scientists
and researchers (ITS field) * Local authorities (responsible for
the transport systems at the urban and regional level) *
Representatives of business (traffic strategy management) and
industry (manufacturers of ITS components).
This book presents many valuable research methods useful in
conducting research in modern urban transportation systems and
networks. The knowledge base in practical examples, as well as the
decision support methods described in this book, is of interest to
people who face the challenge of searching for solutions to the
problems of contemporary transport networks and systems on a daily
basis. The book is therefore addressed to local authorities related
to the planning and development of strategies for selected areas
with regard to transport (both in the urban and regional
dimensions) and to representatives of business and industry, as
people directly involved in the implementation of urban
transportation systems and networks solutions. The methods
contained in individual chapters of the book allow to look at a
given problem in an advanced way and facilitate the selection of
the appropriate strategy (e.g., in relation to the air quality in
considering the impact of the atmospheric emission from the urban
road traffic, the role of incentive programs in promoting the
purchase of electric cars, life-cycle costing decision-making
methodology and urban intersection design, but also in assessing
the impact of the socio-financial conditions on the bike-sharing
system operation and its implementation in medium-sized cities,
etc.). In turn, due to the new approach to theoretical models
(including comparison methods of driving errors in a single-lane
and multi-lane roundabouts, methods of parking measurements,
methods of ensuring the technical readiness of transport companies
fleet due to the region's capabilities as well as speed-related
surrogate measures of road safety based on floating car data), the
book is also of interest to scientists and researchers carrying out
research in this area.
The publication delivers numerous valuable guidelines, particularly
useful when making decisions related in the subject matter to road
and rail nodes located in dense transport networks. The know-how
displayed while discussing practical examples as well as the
decision making support systems described in the publication will
certainly attract the interest of those who daily face the
challenge of seeking solutions to the operational and functional
problems of transport nodes in contemporary transport networks and
systems. This publication is dedicated to local authorities
involved in planning and preparation of development strategies for
specific transport-related issues (in both urban and regional
areas) as well as to representatives of business and industry,
being those who participate directly in the implementation of
traffic engineering solutions. The guidelines provided in
individual chapters of the publication will make it possible to
address the given problem in an advanced manner and simplify the
choice of appropriate strategies (including those related to
synchronisation of road traffic streams, improving the capacity,
road traffic safety analysis, evaluation of changes in drivers'
behaviour on account of introducing countdown timers at
signal-controlled intersections using UAV data, the influence of
the type of traffic organisation on the behaviour of pedestrians at
tram line crossings). On the other hand, since the publication also
concerns the new approach to theoretical models (including
potential places of integration of public transport with the
railway network or the speed adviser for pedestrians enabling them
to choose the optimal path at signal-controlled intersections), it
should also attract the attention of researches and scientists
studying this body of problems. The publication entitled "Nodes in
transport networks - research, data analysis and modelling"
contains selected papers submitted to and presented at the 16th
"Transport Systems. Theory and Practice" Scientific and Technical
Conference organized by the Department of Transport Systems and
Traffic Engineering at the Faculty of Transport of the Silesian
University of Technology. The conference was held on 16-18
September 2019 in Katowice (Poland).
This book presents a number of guidelines that are particularly
useful in the context of decisions related to system-approach-based
modern traffic engineering for the development of transport
networks. Including practical examples and describing
decision-making support systems it provides valuable insights for
those seeking solutions to contemporary transport system problems
on a daily basis, such as professional working for local
authorities involved in planning urban and regional traffic
development strategies as well as representatives of business and
industry directly involved in implementing traffic engineering
solutions. The guidelines provided enable readers to address
problems in a timely manner and simplify the choice of appropriate
strategies (including those connected with the relation between
pedestrians and vehicle traffic flows, IT development in freight
transport, safety issues related to accidents in road tunnels, but
also open areas, like roundabouts and crossings). Furthermore,
since the book also examines new theoretical-model approaches
(including the model of arrival time distribution forming in a
dense vehicle flow, the methodological basis of modelling and
optimization of transport processes in the interaction of railways
and maritime transport, traffic flow surveys and measurements,
transport behaviour patterns, human factors in traffic engineering,
and road condition modelling), it also appeals to researches and
scientists studying these problems. This book features selected
papers submitted to and presented at the 16th Scientific and
Technical Conference Transport Systems Theory and Practice
organized by the Department of Transport Systems and Traffic
Engineering at the Faculty of Transport of the Silesian University
of Technology. The conference was held on 16-18 September 2019 in

particularly useful to those making decisions concerning
roundabouts as safe and modern solutions in transport networks and
systems. The decision-making support systems described here will
interest those who face the challenge of finding solutions to
problems concerning modern transport systems on a daily basis.
Consequently, the book is chiefly intended for local authorities
involved in planning and preparing development strategies for
specific transport-related issues (in both urban and regional
contexts), as well as for representatives of business and industry
who are directly engaged in the implementation of traffic
engineering solutions. The guidelines provided in the respective
chapters help to address the given problem soundly, and to simplify
the selection of an appropriate strategy. The topics covered
include traffic conditions and the performance of single-lane,
two-lane and turbo roundabouts, road traffic safety analysis,
analysis of road traffic safety improvements, surrogate safety
measures at roundabouts, analysis of pedestrian behavior at
pedestrian crossings with public transport vehicles, methods for
assessing vehicle motion trajectory at single-lane roundabouts
using visual techniques, making compact two-lane roundabouts
effective for vulnerable road users, concepts for wireless electric
vehicle charging near roundabouts, work zones, and temporary
traffic control at roundabouts. Since the book also considers new
approaches to theoretical models (including modeling roundabout
capacity, models of critical gaps and follow-up headways for turbo
roundabouts, and estimating roundabout delay while taking into
account pedestrian impact), it will also appeal to researchers and
scientists studying these problems. The book gathers selected
