Capacity analysis of actions to increase safwety of bicycle traffic |
Secondary abstract: |
The thesis speaks about modern editing methods of bicycle traffic in urban areas. It contains comparison of four foreign design manuals for planning and editing cyclist areas in cities. Those are Dutch, German, Canadian and design manual of the United States of America. The comparison is done upon different situations, which could appear in process of editing cyclist friendly infrastructure. Therefore the comparison is done upon situations like crossing of the side road, turning left and right, signalization, special level intersections, tunnels and bridges for cyclists, roundabouts and actions for reducing waiting times for cyclists. The foreign design manuals are also compared with Slovenian design manual. Technical solutions, which could be used in Slovenia are also given in thesis.
The thesis also contains capacity analysis of reconstructed intersection Poljanska - Roška, which is designed with modern editing methods for cycle traffic. Three different cases are compared. We saw, how those kinds of actions make influence on delays of motorized traffic, capacity and degree of saturation of intersection, average queue length, maximum queue length, average number of stops and emission of CO and NOx. It is shown how cyclist loads could make influence on those parameters. Therefore the parameters are compared according to different cyclist loads. The actions for improvement of intersection are also given. There is lot of questioning, if the new editing methods are good and safe for cyclists. They are based on directness and maintain of speed during drive through intersections. Because of that, there is safety analysis made in the end of thesis. |

Abstract (ePrints): |
Diplomska naloga govori o najnovejših načinih vodenja kolesarskega prometa v urbanih okoljih. Vsebuje primerjavo štirih tujih predpisov na področju načrtovanja kolesarskih površin v mestih. To so nizozemski, nemški, kanadski ter ameriški predpisi. Primerjava je izvedena na podlagi različnih situacij, ki se lahko pojavijo pri projektiranju kolesarju prijazne infrastrukture. Tako so primerjane situacije, kot so prehod čez stransko cesto, levo in desno zavijanje, signalizacija, posebna nivojska in izvennivojska križanja, krožna križišča ter ukrepi za zmanjševanje čakalnih časov kolesarjev v križiščih. Tuji predpisi so primerjani tudi z novimi slovenskimi predpisi. Podane so tehnične rešitve, ki bi se lahko uporabljale v Republiki Sloveniji.
Naloga vsebuje tudi kapacitetno analizo rekonstruiranega križišča Poljanska - Roška, ki je narejeno po modernih principih vodenja kolesarjev v križiščih. Primerjane so tri variante križišča. Videli smo, kako takšni ukrepi vplivajo na zamude motornih vozil, kapaciteto in stopnjo zasičenosti križišča, povprečne dolžine kolon v križišču, maksimalne dolžine kolon v križišču, število ustavljanj v križišču ter na nastale emisije plinov CO in NOx. Prikazano je, kako kolesarske obremenitve vplivajo na parametre. Tako so parametri primerjani glede na različne kolesarske obremenitve. Na podlagi analiziranih parametrov so podani ukrepi za izboljšanje v križišču. Veliko je govora o tem, ali so novi načini vodenja dobri in varni za kolesarje. Temeljijo predvsem na direktnosti kolesarskih poti in na ohranjanju hitrosti vožnje kolesarjev skozi križišče. Zato je na koncu narejena varnostna analiza in primerjava med različnimi načini vodenja kolesarjev v križiščih. |
