Project Goal: Many different layouts and sizes can be used to design modern roundabouts. The type of roundabout is determined by various factors, such as space availability, traffic volume, expected and-users, location, etc. Roundabouts are often used to improve traffic safety and capacity in urban and rural areas and can also be employed as a measure for traffic calming instead of signal-controlled intersections. This Special Issue will consist of papers describing the synthesis of current theory and practice of planning, design, operation, and safety of modern roundabouts, with special attention on future challenges and will be of interest to scientists dealing with roundabouts problems and issues and generally involved in road traffic engineering as well as design, traffic, and maintenance engineers. Other major areas of interest with regard to roundabouts include but are not limited to: - Efficiency evaluation; - Traffic capacities and delays; - Issues related to pedestrians, bicyclists, and visually impaired users; - Costs and location criteria; - Road traffic measurements, data analysis; - Traffic flow modeling; - Signing and pavement markings; - Signalized roundabouts; - Experimental analysis for roundabouts; - Autonomous vehicles on roundabouts; - Driver behavior patterns on roundabouts; - Conflicts at roundabouts.

Continuous, automatic measurements of road traffic volume allow the obtaining of information on daily, weekly or seasonal fluctuations in road traffic volume. They are the basis for calculating the annual average daily traffic volume, obtaining information about the relevant traffic volume, or calculating indicators for converting traffic volume from short-term measurements to average daily traffic volume. The covid-19 pandemic has contributed to extensive social and economic anomalies worldwide. In addition to the health consequences, the impact on travel behavior on the transport network was also sudden, extensive, and unpredictable. Changes in the transport behavior resulted in different values of traffic volume on the road and street network than before. The article presents road traffic volume analysis in the city before and during the restrictions related to covid-19. Selected traffic characteristics were compared for 2019 and 2020. This analysis made it possible to characterize the daily, weekly and annual variability of traffic volume in 2019 and 2020. Moreover, the article attempts to estimate daily traffic patterns at particular stages of the pandemic. These types of patterns were also constructed for the weeks in 2019 corresponding to these stages of the pandemic. Daily traffic volume distributions in 2020 were compared with the corresponding ones in 2019. The obtained results may be useful in terms of planning operational and strategic activities in the field of traffic management in the city and management in subsequent stages of a pandemic or subsequent pandemics.

A logistic center is a specialized economic structure grouping in a compact area a large group of entities specializing in the organization and physical transport of goods. It is a point of contact between the demand and supply of logistics and transport services and is of a public nature. The decision on the location of each logistic center should be preceded by detailed computational and logistic studies. The location of logistics centers, which occupy large ground areas and require well-equipped back-up facilities along with road infrastructure, should be very precisely defined. The methodology of planning logistics centers most often includes various types of planning techniques, planning procedures as well as analysis and evaluation criteria. The paper presents the issues of logistics centers in terms of legal requirements for the functioning of logistics centers, rules and methods of locating such facilities in the transport network of the area, which were supplemented by an analysis of the functioning of logistics centers in Poland in 2008-2018.

The notion of electromobility spans an overall body of problems related to the use of electric vehicles (EV), covering both technical and service-related aspects of the EV, the charging technology and infrastructure, as well as social, economic and legal problems involved in the designing, manufacturing, purchasing and using of electric vehicles. The article addresses such matters as the share of electric vehicles in the automotive market as well as the problems of operation of electric vehicles both by private users and in public transport. Moreover, an analysis of trends in the development of electromobility in Poland, including current problems and issues, has been presented in this chapter. Some results of an analysis of accessibility of charging points and charging stations for electric vehicles currently used in the Conurbation of Upper Silesia and Dąbrowa Basin have also been discussed in the chapter.

Currently, in Poland, compared to other Western European countries, the electric vehicle market is in the initial stage of development, hence there are significantly fewer electric vehicles on Polish roads. The main reasons for the small number of electric cars in Poland include relatively high prices of electric cars, the lack or deficiencies in the available charging infrastructure, manifested by a small number of charging points for electric cars, and the technological problem related to the limited range of electric cars. The chapter presents the issues of promoting electric cars based on incentive programs, preliminary results of research on the role and importance of incentive programs in promoting the purchase of electric cars in Poland, and a review of the so-called good practices from around the world in the field of promoting electric cars and the operation of electric car charging points. The conclusions drawn from these practices can be a valuable source of information, tips and guidelines when carrying out works at the initial stage of electromobility development in Poland.

In smart cities, it is expected that transport, communication as well as the movement of people and goods will take place in the shortest possible time while maintaining a high level of safety. In recent years, due to the significant increase in the number of passengers and vehicles on the road and the capacity limitations of transport networks, it has become necessary to use new technologies for intelligent control and traffic management. Intelligent transport systems use advanced technologies in the field of data gathering, information processing, and traffic control to meet current transport needs. To be able to effectively control and manage road traffic, it is necessary to have reliable mathematical models that allow for a faithful representation of the real traffic conditions. Models of this type are usually the basis of complex algorithms used in practice in road traffic control. The application of appropriate models reflecting the behavior of road users contributes to the reduction of congestion, the vehicles travel time on the transport network, fuel consumption and the emissions, which in turn support broadly understood energy savings. The article proposes a model that allows for the estimation of the maximum queue size at the signal-controlled intersection approach (so-called: maximum back-of-queue). This model takes into account the most important traffic characteristics of the vehicles forming this queue. The verification allowed for the conclusion that the proposed model is characterized by high compliance with the actual traffic and road conditions at the intersections with signal controllers located in built-up areas in Poland. The obtained compliance confirms the possibility of using the model for practical applications in calculating the maximum back-of-queue at signal-controlled intersections located in built-up areas in Poland.

The basic function of the Park and Ride (P&R) facility is to allow users to leave their vehicle on the outskirts of the city and to continue their journey to the city center using means of public transport, e.g., bus, tram, trolleybus, subway, train, or bike. In the first part of the paper, an analysis of the selected factors related to the functioning of P&R facilities in Warsaw (Poland) was performed. The main purpose of this paper was to identify and quantify the influence factors determining the choice of P&R facility during a journey. This analysis was performed for three hypothetical journey scenarios. A list of potential factors determining the choice of P&R facility during travel was compiled after conducting previous research in this area and studying the worldwide scientific literature on the subject. The structural parameters of the multinomial logit model were estimated based on the data from the survey conducted in Warsaw. The results of the analyses indicate that the decision to choose a hypothetical journey scenario depends on many factors, but primarily on the level of education, the number of years of having a driving license, age, the number of kilometers traveled during the year, and the performed activity.

The forecasts of the Ministry of Energy regarding the development of the charging infrastructure for electric vehicles in Poland envisage that, over the next years, ca. 6,000 new normal power charging points (under 22 kW) and ca. 400 high power charging points (over 22 kW) will be built. There are also other very optimistic projections indicating a sharp increase in the number of electric vehicle charging points in Poland. This paper presents the characteristics of electric vehicle charging points and stations, websites allowing for electric vehicle charging stations to be searched for in Poland, as well as the current situation and problems related to the charging stations for electric vehicles in Poland.

The park and ride (P&R) parking type is usually located near peripheral public transport stops. These parking places are dedicated to people who, after leaving their vehicle in the parking, continue their journey to the city center using some form of public transport such as bus, metro, rail or tram systems. This article aims to examine the features associated with P&R parking locations in use in Cracow (Poland). The analysis included the number of entries and exits to and from parking during particular periods of the day, week and year, parking time of vehicles, and parking space use. A parking peak hour factor was also calculated, which expresses the crowding degree of vehicle entries/exits in/out parking during a particular period. In addition, the paper presents an analysis of factors determining users to P&R parking use. In the modeling process, logit models were used, which, as stated after analyzing the literature on the subject, were already used in various countries around the world to describe the behavior of P&R parking users. However, so far, such research relating to Polish conditions has been not published in the available literature. The obtained results allowed to state that the most important factors determining the likelihood of using P&R parking in Cracow are age, number of years having a driving license, monthly income (gross), and an average number of trips made during a day. Other variables, which not included in the study, can influence the P&R parking use. However, the presented results are the basis for conducting furtherer, more in-depth analyses based on a larger number of independent variables that may determine the P&R parking use.

The bike-sharing system allows urban residents to rent a bike at one of the rental stations located in the city, use them for their journey, and return them to any other or the same station. In recent years, in many cities around the world, such systems were established to encourage their residents to use bikes as an element of enhancing sustainable mobility and as a good complement to travel made using other modes of transport. The main purpose of this article is to present the results of an analysis of the functioning of the bike-sharing system in Warsaw (Poland). Moreover, the article presents an analysis of the accessibility to individual stations. An important aspect is that the bike-sharing system has been popular among users and that more people use it. Therefore, the city should be provided with a dense network of conveniently located bike-sharing stations. Also, the quality of the bike-sharing system should be an adjustment to the user’s expectations. In connection with the above, the article also presents the results of the analysis of factors affecting bike-sharing system usage as well as the level of satisfaction connected with bike-sharing system usage. The results of the analysis showed that there is a strong positive correlation between these variables. The obtained results can be helpful for carrying out activities whose purpose is to increase the bike-sharing system usage as well as to increase the level of satisfaction connected with bike-sharing system usage.

The article presents the calculation of roundabout entry capacity as a case study based on roundabouts located in Tokyo, Japan, and Tokyo surroundings. The analysis was conducted as part of the project entitled “Analysis of the applicability of the author’s method of roundabouts entry capacity calculation developed for the conditions prevailing in Poland to the conditions prevailing at roundabouts in Tokyo (Japan) and in the Tokyo surroundings”. The main aim and the research question was whether the author’s model of roundabouts entry capacity calculation constructed for the conditions prevailing in Poland after calibration is suitable to calculate roundabout entry capacity of roundabouts located in Tokyo and in the Tokyo surroundings. In order to perform the calibration in 2019, measurements were taken at the single-lane roundabouts located in Tokyo and Tokyo surroundings. The model calibration revealed that it is possible to evaluate the entry capacity of roundabouts located in Tokyo and in Tokyo surroundings using the author’s model.

Electric vehicles have been gradually growing in popularity. There are countries, such as China, USA and some European countries in particular (including the United Kingdom, Norway, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, France), where the number of electric vehicles has been increasing on a year to year basis. In Poland, on the other hand, the market of electric vehicles is still very immature, the proof of which can be perceived in the lack of vehicle charging infrastructure or the negligible demand for such services in places where this infrastructure has actually been built, not to mention the minute sales of electric vehicles. This paper addresses results of an analysis of problems and issues connected with electric vehicles, both worldwide and in Poland.

The article comments upon results of an analysis of driver behaviour at roundabouts in Tokyo and the Tokyo surroundings. This analysis was conducted as a part of a project entitled “Analysis of the applicability of the author’s method of roundabouts entry capacity calculation developed for the conditions prevailing in Poland to the conditions prevailing at roundabouts in Tokyo (Japan) and in the Tokyo surroundings” financed by the Polish National Agency for Academic Exchange. The article analyses the patterns of behaviour of drivers at roundabout entry legs with regard to the rule of limited confidence in other drivers at the roundabout and the impact of these behaviour patterns on the entry leg’s flow capacity. The results thus obtained show a better match between the models applied for estimating the roundabout entry leg capacity, where one takes into account a certain part of the stream of vehicles leaving the main circulatory roadway using the exit preceding the entry leg analysed, compared to a model where the stream of vehicles leaving the main circulatory roadway has not been included in the composition of the higher rank volume for the given entry leg.

The presence of heavy and slower vehicles within the traffic stream significantly reduces traffic capacity. This reduction increases with the higher participation of heavy vehicles in the stream, which, compared to passenger cars, move at a lower speed. Furthermore, they occupy more space on the road, are characterized by a longer reaction time to the road traffic situations, and put greater pressure on the surface structure, etc. In order to conduct analyses related to determination of the conditions in the traffic stream, the traffic stream mixed in terms of composition is converted from real vehicles into passenger car equivalents. For this purpose, the passenger car equivalent factors (Ei) appropriate for a given group of vehicles are used. The paper presents the results of a study aimed to determine the numerical values of passenger car equivalent factors for heavy vehicles (trucks, buses, trucks with trailers, articulated buses) on turbo roundabouts. The research was carried out on turbo roundabouts located in Poland.

Statistics show that roundabouts are safe road solutions. The main objective of presented paper is the analysis of roundabouts perception by drivers, cyclists and pedestrians. For this purpose, this paper attempts to check and verify the hypothesis that roundabout users in Poland—especially single-lane roundabout users—generally perceived roundabouts positively. In connection with the above, the use of the preference study determined the perception of the roundabouts of their users. Survey research was conducted among the inhabitants of the Silesian Voivodeship. The results of the research allowed to state that roundabout users express a general positive attitude to the reconstruction of other types of intersections at the crossroads of the roundabout. The perception of roundabouts by cyclists and pedestrians coincides with driver ratings. In terms of traffic safety, among all types of roundabouts, users are best perceived as single-lane roundabouts and the spiral roundabouts are the worst.
