ENHANCING URBAN AIR QUALITY AND TRAFFIC FLOW: MULTIMODAL SOLUTIONS FOR UNSIGNALIZED JUNCTION EFFICIENCY AND SUSTAINABLE CITY DEVELOPMENT

Ensuring clean air in the city is one of the tasks of ensuring the quality of life of the population and the principle of sustainable development of the city as an ecosystem.On the elements of the road network, a high concentration of pollutants occurs when their capacity decreases and time delays for drivers and pedestrians increase.The global trend of assessing the quality of service of elements of the road network includes a multimodal or integrated approach that takes into account the needs of all road users.The article presents the results of a study of the length of the queue of cars at unsignalized junctions at the same level, a formula for determining the minimum distance for placing a queue of cars in front of a pedestrian crossing is proposed, design solutions for the arrangement of measures to increase the capacity of traffic lanes and unsignalized junctions are proposed.The proposed method takes into account the influence of the coefficients of reduction to a passenger car on the length of the queue of cars and the choice of a design solution to increase the capacity of an unsignalized junction in conditions of high traffic congestion.The application of the proposed measures will increase the efficiency, taking into account the multimodal approach to taking into account the opinions of drivers and pedestrians.
