Abstract
Gdynia is a city in the Pomeranian Voivod e ship of Poland with a population of about 250,000. It faces a growing motorization rate th at needs to be addressed. Car ownership in Gdynia now exceed s 500 vehicles per 1000 residents. Travel by public transport is decreasing and the rate of walking and cycling remains low. It is necessary to reverse these negative trends by implementing solu tions based on walking, cycling, and smart mobility. On the basis of one selected intersection, the article presents a research m ethod which aims at finding solutions that shoul d improve pedestrian walking and safety conditions at sig nalized intersections in th e city center area. According to the statistical research of traffic incidents, pedestrian behavior, and simulations run usin g the VISSIM software, an attempt was made to find solutions that wi ll result in improvement of traffic conditions and pedestrian saf ety at signalized intersections. Thes e analyses do not exhaust the test issues but are only a prelude to further research that will be run, a mong others, within the FLOW Project framework (HORIZON 2020) .
