Abstract
Diplomová práce se zaměřuje na zlepšení dopravního toku v okolí stadionu Sun Bowl, zejména během velkých veřejných akcí. Cílem je navrhnout efektivní řešení, která zlepší využití veřejné infrastruktury jak ve dnech konání akcí, tak i za běžných dopravních podmínek.
Pro pochopení aktuální situace byly během fotbalového zápasu provedeny dva průzkumy jeden sledoval obsazenost parkovišť a druhý měřil parametry dopravy pomocí videozáznamů a pneumatických senzorů.
Na základě získaných dat byly navrženy úpravy pro dvě klíčové křižovatky: Sun Bowl Dr. s W. University Ave. a Sun Bowl Dr. s Glory Rd. Nové návrhy vycházejí z amerických a evropských standardů dopravního inženýrství.
Navržená vylepšení byla vyhodnocena pomocí softwaru pro dopravní simulace PTV Vissim a analýzy bezpečnosti. Výsledky ukázaly prokazatelné zlepšení parametrů dopravního toku a bezpečnosti ve srovnání se stávajícími podmínkami.
This thesis focuses on improving traffic conditions around the Sun Bowl Stadium, especially during large public events. The goal is to propose effective solutions that enhance the use of public infrastructure during both event days and normal traffic conditions. To understand the current situation, two surveys were conducted during a football gameone monitoring parking lot occupancy and the other measuring traffic volumes using video recordings and pressure sensors. Based on the collected data, design changes were proposed for two key intersections: Sun Bowl Dr. with W. University Ave., and Sun Bowl Dr. with Glory Rd. The new designs follow U.S. and European traffic engineering standards. The proposed improvements were evaluated using PTV Vissim traffic simulation software and safety analysis. Results showed a clear improvement in traffic flow and safety compared to the current conditions.
