Influence of construction of logistics centre on transport in Vienna

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to find out how the construction of a new logistics centre in the vicinity of the A21 and B12 interchange will affect transport in Vienna. Transport in the city and near logistics centres plays a vital role. Today, a significant amount of goods is transported. Transport infrastructure is used for this purpose, where transport infrastructure represents a significant part. It is essential to note that the increasing number of goods transports may create transport problems in infrastructure. Thanks to the simulations, these problems could be detected and optimization could be proposed and verified again. In the paper firstly, there is introduced the current state of the traffic in the selected part of the Vienna. Secondly, there is introduced the software, which is used in this paper. There was selected the software for the microscopic traffic simulation - PTV Vissim. Next, there are presented the results of this simulation. Based on this simulation, there are shown potential traffic problems caused by the construction of this centre. Transport problems caused by the development of a logistics centre are not severe.
