Abstract
Mobility needs, especially for motorized transport, have significantly increased in recent decades with the public becoming more and more dependent on the means of communication. Transport has become an inseparable part of the way of life of modern human being which helps to satisfy some needs but creates new needs. With undoubted benefit these changes caused the new problems, such as traffic congestion, time loss, or increased noise and pollution. These arguments made it necessary to look for new ways to bring under control the existing communication system processes in the newly planned urban territories and to develop new innovative tasks for the EU urban communication systems to ensure effective and uninterrupted functioning of communication systems and implementation of the main communication objectives. This scientific work analyzes the need for communication systems in the newly developed territories, describes the worldwide software packages used for modeling of junctions, gives an illustrated example on how to select the type of intersection for the territory planned to be built-up in Molėtai city, and describes advantages of the selected type of junction.
Highlights
To make good decisions on territorial planning is a task that has become increasingly difficult
Having assessed advantages and disadvantages of all software packages intended for junction modelling for further investigation and modelling of the most suitable type of junction, the software SIDRA INTERSECTION was selected, since it provides an opportunity to identify the main characteristics of junctions and the level of service (LOS), fuel consumption, operating costs and transport pollution
Modelling focused on finding out the best type of intersection for the analyzed situation, which would meet the parameters of capacity, LOS, economic and other
Summary
To make good decisions on territorial planning is a task that has become increasingly difficult. The planning process involved only specialists and representatives of municipal government, whereas the city plan was a secret document (Juškevičius 1995). Such planning is not suitable for nowadays market system. In recent years most investments are allocated to the largest Lithuanian cities which, from the socio-economic point of view, are the most developing. This causes the increasing differences in urban development and human welfare. In the territorial planning documents each organizer uses his methodology
