Problems associated with transport activity in urban areas: THE ROLE OF PUBLIC TRANSPORT AND TRAM TRANSPORT THE ROLE OF PUBLIC TRANSPORT AND TRAM TRANSPORT

congestion pollution traffic incidents The improvement of the level of quality of service of public transport may lead to change of travel behaviours of inhabitants of large urban areas and the growth of number of travels made by modes of public transport. It is therefore necessary to take up actions aimed at increase of perceived level of quality of public transport.

THE ROLE OF PUBLIC TRANSPORT AND TRAM TRANSPORT THE ROLE OF PUBLIC TRANSPORT AND TRAM TRANSPORT

Benefits of tram transport in urban areas: eco-friendly mode of transport ability to transport large number of passengers separation for road traffic leads to faster and more reliable travels improvement of the image of the area Tram transport should be reliable and safe in order to encourage people to use it

GOAL AND STAGES OF THE STUDY GOAL AND STAGES OF THE STUDY

STAGE 1 The goal of the study – analysis of safety at tram stops associated with boarding and alighting from the vehicles Choice of the area of analysis and identification of all tram stops in that area STAGE 2 Selection of the main criterion of classification STAGE 3 Site inspection at each operating tram stop and determination of characteristics of each stop station STAGE 4 Pilot study of interactions between tram passengers and road vehicles at chosen tram stop stations STAGE 5 Full study of mistakes that both tram passengers and drivers of road vehicles make at stop stations of particular types FUTURE RESEARCH
