In today's steadily urbanizing landscape, cities continue to expand at a rapid pace. Alongside the improvement in quality of life, there's a notable increase in the number of private cars. However, the limited capacity of roads in densely populated urban areas remains unchanged. To ensure smooth operation and enhance the quality of public transport as a backbone of urban mobility, the implementation of public transport priority measures is imperative. One such measure is the establishment of dedicated bus lanes. This paper delves into the design options for the endpoint of a dedicated bus lane before an intersection, focusing on the perspective of public transport. Specifically, it examines four different designs for this endpoint, employing simulations conducted through the PTV Vissim program.

This study analyses the impact of a priority measure on the quality of public transport in the city of Pilsen. This measure is based on the closure of Americká Street to car traffic because there were frequent congestions and public transport vehicles were getting high delays. Simultaneously, this study uses the newly developed Quality of Public Transport Operation Evaluation Method and explores whether the Method is also a suitable tool for these types of studies.

Effective transport planning, utilizing available data to promote sustainable modes of transportation, is a fundamental aspect of the Smart City concept. This paper introduces an optimization of the the level-of-service-based evaluation method for quality of public transport operation, which assesses reliability and travel speed/time. Although initially introduced in 2017, the method lacked a sufficient sample of data from diverse transport networks for testing. Subsequently, with the acquisition of such data, extensive testing became feasible, leading to the method's optimization for improved reliability and practical usability.

Smart transport planning based on the use of available data while supporting sustainable transport modes is an integral part of the Smart city concept. This article presents a critical analysis of the Level of Service of Public Transport Operation Assessment Method, which is based on two indicators - the reliability index and the travel speed index. The method is applied to a larger sample of data from several different cities, it makes it possible to evaluate the possible shortcomings of the method, since the method has not yet been applied to such a large number of case studies.

Vyhrazený jízdní pruh pro autobusy/trolejbusy veřejné dopravy je základním a prakticky nejefektivnějším prvkem preference veřejné dopravy na síti městských komunikací. Existují však různé přístupy k nastavení dopravního režimu těchto vyhrazených jízdních pruhů, ať už z hlediska jejich časové platnosti, možnosti jejich využívání i dalšími specifikovanými vozidly (jízdní kola, taxi, motocykly) či jejich vedení po tramvajovém tělese, i k jejich vyznačování. Příspěvek shrne aktuální stav této problematiky ve vybraných českých a zahraničních městech a nabídne doporučení pro jednotný přístup k této problematice v českých podmínkách.

Fast and reliable public transport is one of the pillars of sustainable urban mobility. Creating good conditions for its operation in urban road network is a fundamental task for transport engineers. The PREFOS Research Group has long been involved in evaluating the conditions for public transport operation in urban roads. One of the key parameters is the impact of the car traffic flow on public transport operation. This paper describes a pilot study of the possibility of using Google traffic data to evaluate the characteristics of traffic flow and its comparison with the achieved travel speed of public transport in a given section. This pilot study is part of a broader research plan to develop a comprehensive method for evaluating the conditions for public transport operations on a street network.
