Abstract

The transport of the tram system on a high capacity corridor in a narrow urban area with increasing demand has become limiting both in terms of capacity and in terms of quality improvement. In this sense, the tram system in Sarajevo, as the primary system of city passenger transport, for many years, requires improvement in order to meet demand. The lack of clear strategies and plans for improving the primary transport system results in interventions of short-term investments in the maintenance of the infrastructure and suprastructure of the classic tramway of outdated and abandoned technology. In this way, the system is brought into a state of very unreliable and unsafe work. On the other hand, it is obvious that the development of individual motorized traffic has led to the fact that the common route has worsened the quality and safety of driving. The paper presents basic guidelines and aspects for the transformation of the classical tram in Sarajevo to the Light Rail System that can reach the fast city railway with the quantity and quality of the offer.

Highlights

  • Public city transport of passengers in Sarajevo is performed by the systems Tram, Trolleybus, Bus, Minibus and Inclined elevator

  • Depending on the size of the city, its urban development, the degree of general mobility and mobility in public transport, the degree of motorization achieved and the income of the population, the Light Rail Transport (LRT) system can take on a large number of different roles within the overall passenger transport system

  • Many cities have decided to set aside special regulations for the Light Rail System ("LRT-Light Rail Transit", "Straßenbahnen"), and for street trams in order to cover all key issues of construction and operation of these transport systems

Summary

Introduction

Public city transport of passengers in Sarajevo is performed by the systems Tram, Trolleybus, Bus, Minibus and Inclined elevator. Canton Development Plan envisages an increase in the number of inhabitants in both urban and suburban areas. The existing passenger transport management system in Sarajevo, due to its inertia and relatively high labor costs, cannot adequately respond to passenger requirements. For these reasons, it is necessary to approach the planning and construction of a new system. The possibility and need for the transformation of the existing tram system in Sarajevo into a high-capacity corridor must be considered through the parameters that describe the demand for transport and supply of capacity on the corridor Baščaršija - Ilidža. From the analysis of business indicators and the current relationship between supply and demand of public urban transport, it is possible to provide guidelines for how to plan indicators relevant to the management of the transport process [1]
