The main aim of this paper is to point out the assumptions of motorway operation effects on local transport. We assume positive effects of starting motorway operation on the specific section of road I/11. This section connects the cities of Žilina and Čadca. It is considered as one of the most problematic sections of the Slovak Republic because of the high intensity of individual transport and freight or cargo transport. This transport issue is growing beyond the regional level and is reaching alarming proportions. It needs to be solved as soon as possible. One of the available possibilities is to start the operation of the mentioned motorway D3. We have created a simulation model of a current state and also the state with the motorway. We have used intensities from the last national traffic census as basic inputs for simulation. These intensity values have been recalculated by relevant growth coefficients defined in Technical Conditions no. 102. Based on the results of a dynamic simulation, we have compared the average speed, delay times, and the length of congestions in two scenarios—the current state and effects of motorway operation.

It has been proven on several implementations worldwide, that introducing of road charging scheme in urban area is very simple and efficient way to reduce traffic volumes, lower congestions and shorten travel time. Herewith, there is a possibility of utilization of charged money, e.g. for financing of public transportation. In our paper, based on analysis of traffic intensities and results of social survey, we describe a proposal of charging schema for the central part of the city of Žilina in Slovakia.

Sustainable development of road infrastructure has been the most discussed issue in Slovakia in few last years. Mainly in bigger cities road infrastructure is overloaded and ceases to satisfy the needs of road users. There is many possibilities how to solve this issue. We can build new roads and connections between points of interest (origin and destination) but this solution is not acceptable in every area of Slovakia because of lack of space and environment protection as well as financing. Solution, that is more suitable, is to use intelligent transport systems and try to reorganizing some transport routes in the most overloaded sections. We have used software Aimsun to simulate new traffic conditions and evaluate their effects on traffic situation. In our contribution, we focused on difficult traffic situation in the city of Lučenec. We made a microscopic simulation and compared a current state and a new traffic organization using software Aimsun.

This report describes opportunities for using driving simulators for research of driver-vehicle interaction. We have focused on examples of the using of the current equipment of the University Science Park of University of Žilina. Laboratory was built for research of driver-vehicle interaction. It’s also important to give examples of evaluation after several measurements. The SNA - 211 REN driving simulator was used for each experimental measurement. It was necessary to use some additional equipment, because the driving simulator was used only for simulation. During simulations, drivers have been performing tasks connected with vehicle driving. Driver’s eye tracking in specific conditions was also important part of our research. We have tested the behaviour of drivers when they have used mobile phones for texting and GPS device with touchscreen.

Nowadays, road transport is on the rise. The number of vehicles are still increasing and road network in terms of capacity and permeability ceases to satisfy. The fundamental problem is overloaded communications, overcrowded junctions and big delays particularly in the cities and also significant economic losses are associated with this situation. Therefore, it is necessary to design junctions and communications with regard to future needs of population. In the Slovak republic is designing and capacity calculating of junctions based on technical conditions, “TC 04/2004” which is approved by Ministry of Transport and Construction of the Slovak Republic. At the end of 2015 the new document, “TC 16/2015” came into force and replaced the older one. In our paper, we will discuss the traffic modelling of roundabout in the city of Žilina, where in the peak hour, congestions periodically occur and the network is impermeable. The analysis and capacity assessment of this junction will be conducted according to both technical conditions TC 04/2004 and TC 16/2015. In conclusion, we design some possibilities how this situation can be solve.
