KoriÅ”tenje alata za poboljÅ”avanje kvalitete u Hrvatskoj metalopreraÄivaÄkoj industriji
Modern production requires a daily monitoring process and seeks its continuous improvement in order to increase the quality, and therefore effectiveness. There are various tools and their use should become a daily routine to help participants in the process at all levels; from management to production workers. For the purpose of analyzing the frequency of use and confirming the insufficient use of tools and methods of improvement, a research was conducted among Croatian metal processing manufacturers. The research has confirmed a low frequency of tool use, but has also provided some guidelines for increasing their use in the future.Suvremena proizvodnja iziskuje svakodnevno praÄenje procesa te teži njihovom kontinuiranom poboljÅ”avanju kako bi se poveÄala njihova kvaliteta, a samim time i efektivnost. Alati koji se koriste su raznovrsni i njihovo koriÅ”tenje trebalo bi postati svakodnevnica kako bi pomogle sudionicima procesa na svim nivoima proizvodnje od uprave do radnika u neposrednoj proizvodnji. U svrhu analize uÄestalosti koriÅ”tenja i dokazivanju premalog koriÅ”tenja alata i metoda poboljÅ”avanja provedeno je istraživanje unutar hrvatskog metalopreraÄivaÄkog sektora. Istraživanjem je dokazana premala uÄestalost koriÅ”tenja alata, ali i daje neke smjernice za poveÄanje koriÅ”tenja u buduÄnosti

Modelling the Impact of Rain in Traffic Assignment Procedures
The efficiency of urban transportation system is un-der the influence of weather conditions. It is necessary to incorporate these impacts into transport system analysis, in order to prepare adequate mitigation measures. Trans-port models are often used in different types of transport system analysis and forecasting of its future characteris-tics. This paper focuses on implementation of the impact of rain in transport modelling, particularly into a traffic assignment process as a part of a macroscopic transport model. This aspect of modelling is important because it can indicate parts of the network where this impact leads to a high volume/capacity ratio, which is a good input for defining mitigation measures. Commonly, transport models do not consider weather impacts in its standard procedures. The paper presents a methodology for cali-brating volume-delay function in order to improve traf-fic assignment modelling in case of rain. The impact of different rain categories on capacity and free-flow speed was quantified and implemented in the volume-delay function. Special attention is given to the calibration of the part of volume-delay function for over-saturated traf-fic conditions. Calibration methodology is applicable for different types of volume-delay functions and presents a solid approach to incorporate weather conditions into common engineering practice
Simulation Modelling of Permitted Left-Turn Saturation Flow Rate Based on Opposing Through-Flow Degree of Saturation
This paper presents the modelling of the saturation flow rate of the permitted left-turn in an exclusive lane. In the proposed model, the total permitted left-turn saturation flow rate is determined as a sum of saturation flow rates during the effective green time and the intergreen period. Primarily, the permitted left-turn saturation flow rate during the effective green time is modelled based on the opposing through-flow degree of saturation and the number of opposing through-flow lanes. The relation between the permitted left-turn saturation flow during the effective green time and these variables was examined using data from the simulation experiments in VISSIM. To our knowledge, this is the first study of the permitted left-turn saturation flow modelling based on the opposing through-flow degree of saturation instead of the opposing through-flow rate and signal-timing parameters. The proposed model was validated based on data collected at seven intersections with a permitted left-turn served in an exclusive lane. The permitted left-turn saturation flow rate could be accurately determined based on the opposing through-flow degree of saturation and the number of opposing lanes according to the RMSE of 58.4 pcu/h
Contribution to the traffic process analysis at signalized intersections
Doktorska disertacija prikazuje originalan pristup analizi saobraÄajnog procesa na signalisanoj raskrsnici i utvrÄivanju osnovnog pokazatelja efikasnosti ā vremenskih gubitaka.
Aktuelne metode i modeli ne obezbeÄuju preciznu procenu vrednosti gubitaka. Kao osnovni nedostaci navode se pojednostavljena teorijska interpretacija procesa u okviru neeksperimentalnih, odnosno indirektnost istraživanja i veliÄina uzorka u okviru eksperimentalnih metoda. Formiranje objektivnih metoda utvrÄivanja gubitaka zahteva potpunu spoznaju procesa u kome dolazi do njihovog nastajanja.
U radu je formirana metodologija istraživanja parametara u procesima kretanja vozila u zoni signalisane raskrsnice. Osnovu metodologije predstavlja metod utvrÄivanja trajektorija kretanja vozila primenom GPS tehnologije prikupljanja podataka. Primenom metodologije obezbeÄuje se formiranje trajektorija vozila visokog nivoa preciznosti i detaljnosti, Å”to predstavlja osnovu za analizu saobraÄajnog procesa, utvrÄivanje vrednosti osnovnih parametara i njihovog uticaja na vremenske gubitke. Rezultati istraživanja na signalisanim raskrsnicama i formirani zakljuÄci se u odreÄenim segmentima razlikuju od onih koje su utvrdili drugi autori.
Na osnovu istraživanja razvijen je analitiÄki model vremenskih gubitaka za nezasiÄena stanja. U modelu, ukupni vremenski gubici se posmatraju na mikroskopskom nivou, kroz komponente gubitaka koje nastaju u procesima kretanja vozila u razliÄitim tipovima trajektorija.
AnalitiÄki model predstavlja osnovu formiranog metoda eksperimentalnog utvrÄivanja vremenskih gubitaka (MEIS). U okviru metoda gubici se utvrÄuju na osnovu direktnog istraživanja vremenske komponente kretanja svakog pojedinaÄnog vozila koje je ostvarilo vremenski gubitak.
Na osnovu rezultata praktiÄne primene na signalisanim raskrsnicama u Beogradu, zakljuÄeno je da je formirani metod validan u postupku utvrÄivanja ukupnih
vremenskih gubitaka za nezasiÄena stanja, kao i da se njegovom primenom eliminiÅ”u neki od osnovnih nedostataka postojeÄih metoda utvrÄivanja gubitaka...The Doctoral dissertation demonstrates an original approach to the analysis of traffic processes at a signalized intersection and to the determination of a key performance indicator ā control delay.
Current estimation methods and models do not provide accurate delay assessment. The main disadvantages of existing experimental models are the sample size and indirect research methods. On the other hand, in non-experimental methods, the deficiency is in the need for theoretical simplifications of the actual traffic processes. The determination of objective estimation methods requires comprehensive understanding of the processes where the delays are generated.
This dissertation proposes a methodology for the determination of individual vehicle tracking and traffic flow parameters at a signalized intersection. The foundation of this methodology is the determination of traffic parameters using GPS data collection technology. The implementation of this method provides high resolution trajectory determination, which represents a good basis for traffic process analysis and the assessment of basic parameters and their impact on control delay. The obtained results and conclusions differ moderately in certain segments from those obtained and presented by other authors.
The analytical delay model for unsaturated conditions is developed based on the realized research in this dissertation. Total delays in the model are recorded at the microscopic level and represented as delay components in various trip patterns.
The analytical model represents the basis of the method for experimental delay estimation (MEIS). The control delay is determined directly by researching the time trace of each particular vehicle experiencing delays.
The method is implemented and tested at several signalized intersections in Belgrade. The method is proved to be valid for total delay determination in unsaturated conditions. Correspondingly, some of the most important
disadvantages of existing delay estimation methods are eliminated by its implementation..
Straight lane saturation flow and its rate in serbian cities
Saturation flow is the base rate in the procedure for optimizing traffic signal operation and determining the measure for effectiveness of intersection operation. Different approaches and structures of analytical value models indicate the complexity of the problem of determining the saturation flow value in real conditions. This paper presents the synthesis of the results and conclusions of studying the saturation flow rate phenomenon at signalised intersections in Serbia in the last thirty years, by applying various survey techniques. The surveys relate to straight lane saturation flow value, in the survey conditions mostly resembling the idealised conditions in which saturation flow can be generated. The obtained results indicate that there is a significant trend of changes in the base saturation flow value compared with those first referred in 1963 by Webster and Cobbe, change in the significance of impact factor on saturation flow value, and the necessity to determine them on the local level
