traffic model of ELAN corridor– Car, PT and freight traffic flows

included– Different PT priority schemes tested– Modeling of noise level in the

corridor

• Study of:– New intermodal terminal SAVA-

NORTH– Introduction of Sarengradska Street

in the traffic system of the city– Quality of PT service– Modal split in the City of Zagreb– Integrated transportation in Zagreb

Lessons learned from the process

Harmonized objectives are maybe the most

important factor:• Partners are working together

• In our case: role of the city municipality was crucial

Recognize the unique knowledge of your partners

Citizens as partners: Citizens can push the measure (project) forward:• Easier to overcome the barriers

Administrative capacities are equally important


Thank you for your attention!
