The analysis and proposal of new traffic organisation at the roundabout in the city of Banska Bystrica

Building new roundabouts in the city centers become more and more common. Our paper is focused on evaluation of current state of traffic organization at the chosen roundabout based on the transport survey. The chosen roundabout is located on streets Tajovského, Švernova and Nad plážou in the city of Banská Bystrica, near the department store Lidl. Th e roundabout is a connection point between Podlavice neighborhood, Skubín neighborhood, Fončorda neighborhood on south and the city center. For a correct analysis of the traffic situation, a comprehensive assessment of the roundabout and its link to the surrounding traffic junctions is necessary. Once this analysis has been made, it is possible to create a transport model and then make various simulations. We are able to assess in appropriate way a current traffic situation at the roundabout and test a new proposal of roundabout solution, using simulation soft ware.
