SELECTING AN OPTIMAL TRAFFIC SYSTEM FOR CITIES
The existing transportation systems very often can not satisfy the traffic demand of the rapidly developing cities. Presented in this paper is a method that has been developed for establishing a traffic model for a traffic system which is based on the prerequisite that the investment in the planned period should be distributed so that the realized investment and the resulting exploitation costs result in a minimum discounted investment. In a discounted investment method, in the time function, there exists an interaction between the traffic volume, transportation capacity, phase investment, and exploitation of costs; consequently, the time-investment interaction represents a complete economic category. In addition, the traffic policy possesses a more intense material basis and a guideline pointing when, where, and how much to invest and what benefits may be expected.
