These activities are related to reconstruction and revitalization of the existing elements of traffic infrastructure, as well as to preparation of the study, planning and design documentation for investments into further development of the transport system. For the purpose of establishing optimal development of the transport system in Belgrade, it was necessary, using existing resources, to create a modern transport model, which enables determination of various development strategies in relation to changes in transport demands. Considering this issue respective city authorities, the City Council – Traffic Department, and Directorate for City Development and Land Use, in public tender procedure awarded the Faculty of Transport and Traffic Engineering and CEP – Center for Town Development Planning, to develope the Belgrade Transport Model (BeTraMod) The primary requirement of the Transport Model was that it be used as a functional tool in the process of effecting balance between benefits and the costs invested into transportation infrastructure of the city. Another task of the Transport Model was to provide basis for transportation planning in terms of medium-term and long-term investments into transport system. The Transport Model of Belgrade was first established in 2003. The main work was done by research team from University of Belgrade, Transport and Traffic Engineering Faculty. During 2005. The activities on Model upgrading were continued and several surveys were conducted (Household interview, Drivers interview, Freight transport survey, Traffic counting). 2 2 Activities for model upgrading The main activities in model were to provide: Street network, network of passenger public transportation and network of freight transport network, Street network Traffic volume in Passenger vehicles in peak hour – a detail new basic matrix of passenger vehicle work trips (based on traffic surveys) new basic matrix of passenger public transportation work trips (based on traffic surveys) 8.

Upgrade Model consists: 345 urban zones and 200 suburban zones 1685,8 km street network, 601.7 km suburban network and 1084.1km urban network (5900 links and 2398 nodes) 639.2 public transport network and 153 public transport lines Street network is based on the Master Plan of Belgrade. Besides that, a portion of lower-category street network used on the route ends by various sub-systems of Public City transportation was added to it. Public transport network has been formed according to data obtained from all modes: bus, trolleybus, tram and rail. Basic OD matrices in Belgrade Transport Model are based on the traffic surveys (household interview). Those matrixes relate to spatial distribution 345 x 345 traffic zones. Two peak-hour matrices have been obtained, as follows: passenger vehicle matrix, and public transport trip matrix Matrices were calibrated according to the result of count and survey in the public city transportation and on the street network.

SLOVENSKI KONGRES O CESTAH IN PROMETU, Portorož, 25.-27. oktobra 2006 3 Jovi , J., Popovi , M.: Transport model of Belgrade – preparation and assesment of main street network HCM 2000 (service speeds, traffic regimes, traffic management and control, valid flow structure and traffic load, number of lanes per direction etc.). Statements of Belgrade Master plan 2021. were also included. Street network classification preferences in Master plan are: For highways: continuity of route running through urban area, making connection with other roads and routes, taking guidance of transit freight and passenger traffic, absolute priority established by regime and regulatory measures; For main roads: leading main and regional roads into urban area and connecting each other, connecting zones with different urban activities, priority in leading destination freight flows, priority in leading public and other means of transport, priority established by regime and regulatory measures relative to functionally lower network categories; For primary streets: connecting bigger residential zones with each other, downtown area and other more important activities, leading local suburban routes into urban area, distributing destination traffic to functionally lower network categories; For secondary streets: to directly serve contents of residential and work zones and city centres, to enable supply of urban structures, minor priority established by regime and regulatory measures relative to functionally higher network categories. Categorization procedure was carried out through next steps. Step 1 Defining primary and secondary urban network, based on functional characteristics (Table 1). Step 2 Traffic parameters analysis based on data from available documentation as well as from results of traffic surveys in order to adjust basic capacity values to local conditions. Step 3 Definite determination of street category based on criteria (given in next table) and adding attributes: capacity and, provisionally called, free flow speed. Depending on functional, technical and service characteristics, street class is determined. Table 1. Functional classification Criteria Mobility Access control Connecting Secondary network Very important Low Important Satisfactory Greatest traffic generators, highways Origin-destination, transit, local Dominant flows Criteria Access density Network profile Parking Separate left turn lanes Signals per km S (km/h) limit Pedestrian influence Route zone deployment 4 Primary network High speed road Very low Multiple lanes per directions, separated physically or not No Yes 0.3-1.2 70-90 Very low Low density Primary streets Between smaller, non-distant zones Sub-urban road Periphery street City centre street Low Multiple lanes per directions, separated physically or not Medium Multiple lanes per directions, separated physically or not, one way streets with two lanes No Yes 0.6-3 65-75 Low Low to medium density Occasionally Usually 2-6 50-65 Occassionally Medium to high density High Physically non separated, one way streets, two way streets with multiple lanes per direction Significant Occasionally 4-8 40-55 Usually High density 8.

Calculation of capacity is based on relation: Input data for capacity calculation C= C basic * Product of influence factors * (green time / cycle)(veh/h) Data from Traffic counting on sections and intersections: Traffic volume data were used as a base for calculation of volume capacity ratio and level of service on intersections. Used traffic volume data in design hour were collected on 110 census points. According to this data, actual design hour situation on sections, intersections and corridores was formed. Traffic signals data: Data necessary for capacity calculation were gathered by processing actual traffic signal phase plans. Capacity is calculated by network sections and then grouped by routes (streets or roads). Base capacity value used in calculation is 2000 PuT/h, as it is given in HBS manual (Handbuch fur die Bemessung von Strasenverkehrsanlagen). Base values between 1700 and 1900 PuT/h, given in HCM 2000, are relatively low concidering our conditions. Analysis of data and base values, given in new german manual (HBS), is indicating that HBS recommended values are far more appropriate for our conditions. That’s the reason why the author settled for base values of 2000 PuT per lane in ideal conditions. Node and section definitions are completly compatible with Transport model of Belgrade – phase I. As a base network elements for capacity calculation, sections are described with following components: Section name, Free flow speed, Number of lanes per direction, Public transport vehicles treatment, Number Speed – volume relation Speed – volume relation was determined according to basic relations given in HCM 2000 and modified by results obtained from travel time survey on Belgrade main street network. The survey results were analyzed and 4 main relationships established as four classes of dependance between V/C ratio, traffic signals density and flow speed. Next table and picture presents survey results for one class of streets. Those results served for determination of CR function.

After few tests the relations were adjusted to BPR function type 1 with constants a, b and c classified in the 8 classes. BPR (American Bureau of Public Roads) - type 1 Output results Output results are: Street rank, Speed on level of service A (conditionally named free flow speed), Street profile – number of lanes, Base capacity value, Public transport influence factor, Parking influence factor, Other influence factors (intersections frequency per kilometer), Traffic signal timing, Operational capacity per direction. 4 Experience in application One of the first experiences in the application of the Belgrade Transport Model was in the General Project and the PreFeasibility Study of the Inner-city Ring Road together with the associated studies during 2003. The Urban -Traffic Study, among other things, comprises the following: Definition of the impact of ICRR on the existing and planned urban tissue in its corridor and immediate vicinity: Establishing urban and traffic elements, criteria, conditions and limitations for the preparation of the General Design; Establishing impacts of ICRR on operating characteristics of the existing and planned primary road and street network. From the Transport Model the following was used: network categorization, macro traffic regime, link capacity (section directions), speed or travel time, zone system, adequate movement matrix. The work on the Pre-Feasibility Study of the construction of the first line of the First Line of Light Rail Transport with the General Project (with the elements of conceptual 6 design), which was initiated during 2004, is now in its final phase. The main purpose of this Study is to establish main characteristics needed in the process of decision making related to the investment into development of the light rail transit in Belgrade. Within Phase I of the General Project, the transport system has been analyzed on the basis of available documentation with the aim to provide design base which will be used in the system dimensioning and adequate forecast for the subsequent period. The Belgrade Transport Model (BeTraMod) served as the basis for the survey of the existing conditions of the public transport in Belgrade, as well as for generating options for the public transport by introducing a new system (light rail transit line). Transport model of Belgrade was also used for expertise and analysis of transport demand on section Bulevar Kralja Aleksandra from Terazije to Ustani ka street. Purpose of this analysis was creating an overview of changes in transport system, as a result of introducing the first LRT line. Transport demand analysis included three different variations: existing street network with its characteristics two variations of street network for year 2021. (with and without Ruzveltova street) Analysis outcome showed that the observed section is of an extreme importance for Belgrade street network. For example, network length of this section is 4,8% of overall classified network length and it serves 36% of all passenger cars assigned in peak hour. After course reconstruction in year 2021, 40% of all assigned passenger cars in peak hour appears at this part of network. According to simulations2 done for existing state 2005 and future state 2021, 2% of street network in corridore has volume capacity ratio Q/C >=0.95, while 11% of future network with Ruzveltova street has the same ratio. Network alternative without Ruzveltova street has Q/C >=0.95 on 15% of network. Operational indicator in vehiclekilometers and vehiclehours are given in 3 variations. Analysis was performed and variations were compared in terms of vehiclekilometers and vehiclehours, volume capacity ratio Q/C, average travel time and average travel length. 8. SLOVENSKI KONGRES O CESTAH IN PROMETU, Portorož, 25.-27. oktobra 2006 Jovi , J., Popovi , M.: Transport model of Belgrade – preparation and assesment of main street network Comparing all three variations with each other the following results were obtainned: For both alternatives of future state operational idicator in vehiclekilometers increses over 75% and in vehiclehours increses over 95%. Travel time increses over 20% for both alternatives. Next project where Transport Model of Belgrade was used is Transport demand analysis for Inner – halfring in Belgrade from Omladinskih Brigada to Pastroviceva. The objective of analysis was to overview changes in traffic volume regarding new bridge across Sava river. Three variations were considered: existing street network with its characteristics two variations of street network for year 2021. (with and without Belgrade bypass) According to simulations2 done for existing state 2005 and future state 2021, 52% of street network in corridore has volume capacity ratio Q/C >=0.95, while 5% of future network with and without Belgrade bypass same ratio. Comparing all three variations with each other the following results were obtainned: For both alternatives of future state operational idicator in vehiclekilometers increases over 31% and in vehiclehours increases over 35%. Travel time increases over 4% for both alternatives. Comparison of variations of future network 2021, with and without Belgrade bypass, showed that operational indicator in vehiclekilometers is higher without bypass for 2.5% and 3.8% in vehiclehours. Average travel time is 4% lower for alternative with bypass. In order to determine design volumes for loop ramps, an overview of volumes on Senjak side has been carried out. Due to activities in Belgrade fair area it is clear that morning peak hour volume is not significant towards New Belgrade. However, in these circumstances, morning peak hour volume is not the only valid volume for design, because activities in that area (or special events on fair) are more significant in afternoon peak hour. That is why the two time periods were included. Traffic volume in morning peak hour (7 - 8 AM) year 2021 Traffic volume in afternoon peak hour (3 - 4 PM) – year 2021 Conclusion Generally, Transport model is forming continually, through longer time period Recommendations for further priority activities are: incorporation of street network of 2021,, generation of OD matrices of 2021., survey of outer trips characteristics (interviews on bus terminals train stations and airport), impact analysis of specific location (e.g. markets, schools) on transport demand. Over next period Transport Model of Belgrade will be used for verification of existing projects as well as a tool for development of strategies for improvement of traffic conditions in the city. According to this it has already become the official database for Master plan of Belgrade and next phase of implementation of first line of LRT in Belgrade. 8.
