ANALYSIS OF POSSIBILITIES FOR THE USE OF VOLUME-DELAY FUNCTIONS IN THE PLANNING MODULE OF THE TRISTAR SYSTEM
PublicationTravel time is a measure commonly used for traffic flow modelling and traffic control. It also helps to evaluate the quality of traffic control systems in urban areas. Traffic control systems that use traffic models to predict changes and disruptions in vehicle flows have to use vehicle speed-prediction models. Travel time estimation studies the effects of traffic volumes on a street section at an average speed. The TRISTAR Integrated...

Stormwater runoff in the urbanized coastal basin of Gdańsk Urbanized basin of Gdańsk
PublicationAnthropopressure strongly affects the primal water cycle. Alternation of the natural basins imposes changes of drainage patterns, reduction of bioretention, infiltration and base flow. As a result the overland flow predominates and greater runoff rates flow into storm water collection systems and reservoirs. Moreover changing climatic conditions increase the frequency of rapid extreme weather events. Infrastructures of urban areas...

Krajobraz wiejski i turystyka. Poszukiwanie równowagi pomiędzy widzeniem i wizerunkiem wsi
PublicationNajważniejszym składnikiem marki wsi jest krajobraz. Wizerunek wsi kreowany w turystyce i dostępny widok różnią się jednak coraz bardziej: przekaz reklamowy identyfikuje wieś z przyrodą oraz ciszą i spokojem; wieś realna stanowi, najczęściej dysharmonijną, mozaikę wiejsko-miejskiego zagospodarowania. Konfrontacja dostarczonego przez turystykę komunikatu z oglądanym krajobrazem podważa wiarygodność marki wsi, co stanowi zagrożenie...
