The essence of the concept is the reduction of the use of ones own vehicles and, in connection with that, as the end result, the reduction of the number of available parking spaces. The creation and maintenance of an energy-efficient urban environment requires the realization of a large number of different activities that are impossible to realize simultaneously. (For now) there is no way to establish a hierarchy of realization between all the required activities (the order in which they are carried out), which can lead to big mistakes and problems. The paper describe the results of applying a methodology based on the idea of sustainable development, which could contribute to the systematization of a large number of activities and thus ensure that the concept/idea of reducing the use of own vehicles without lowering the quality of life of citizens is gradually implemented and becomes a reality.","PeriodicalId":32747,"journal":{"name":"Put i Saobracaj","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48199924","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the possible solutions to the problem of environmental pollution in cities is the use of micromobility vehicles. Micromobility implies the use of small vehicles that have zero emissions and do not emit noise. The results of previous research indicate that the use of \"micro\" vehicles can significantly contribute to the reduction of environmental pollution, taking into account their characteristics and the type of drive they carry. Bearing in mind the above, the goal of this work is to analyze the impact of micromobility vehicles on the environment, as well as the analysis of factors that influence the acceptability of the use of this type of mobility by the public. The results of the research indicate that micromobility vehicles can have a significant potential in reducing environmental pollution, which can influence changes in modal shift. A comprehensive analysis of the impact of micromobility vehicles presented in the paper can be a useful basis for decision-making when defining a strategy for reducing environmental pollution.","PeriodicalId":32747,"journal":{"name":"Put i Saobracaj","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69274009","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Taking into account the frequency of use of electric scooters in the area of the city of Obrenovac, the goal of this paper includes the analysis of the safety of users of electric scooters, as well as determining the mutual influence of e-scooter users and pedestrians, i.e. drivers of passenger cars on safety. The obtained results indicate that the residents of Obrenovac recognize all the benefits that this mode of transportation brings them, but they also see the problems and shortcomings of the current situation in the field of using this means of transportation and realize that changes are necessary. The data obtained from a survey of the attitudes and behavior of e-scooter users can be useful to decision-makers as basic guidelines for the adequate implementation of e-scooters in transport systems.","PeriodicalId":32747,"journal":{"name":"Put i Saobracaj","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69274091","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Road traffic congestion is a major urban transport problem that occurs when the volume of traffic exceeds the capacity of existing road facilities. The manifestation of traffic congestion is due to the ownership of a high number of vehicles at the expense of road traffic infrastructure and the high growth of the urban population. Only one road connects the city center of Kinshasa, which concentrates the main activities of the inhabitants, to the international airport of Ndjili. Whether you are a pedestrian, a car driver or a public transport user, you cannot escape the traffic jams that refuse to leave Kinshasa. Even motorbike taxis cannot escape. Yet the grade separations built on Lumumba Boulevard in Debonhomme, at the Marché de la Liberté and at Pascal are all open to traffic. Built to facilitate the flow of traffic between the city center (Gombe) and N'djili International Airport, these elephantine structures serve little purpose. In this study, the identification of the maximum flow and bottleneck path along the Lumumba Boulevard between Debonhomme and Ndjili International Airport in the Tshangu district of Kinshasa was carried out. All possible routes from the different sources to the different wells were established. It emerged from this study that the optimal solutions would be the construction of secondary roads and improvement of the road facilities to minimize the problem of traffic congestion.","PeriodicalId":32747,"journal":{"name":"Put i Saobracaj","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48320745","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper examines the credibility of speed limits on two sections between the settlements of Batajnica and Nova Pazova. Through the paper methodology, the road characteristics of sections, speed (calculated speed, free speed, exploitation speed and limited speed) and traffic accidents were analysed.
