Abstract

The paper will use the method of recording vehicle registration plates by means of video cameras to collect data on transit traffic flows. The analysis is performed by processing the database by pairing the registration plates recorded at the entry and at the exit. A set of all vehicles that have been recorded within the analysed time both on the external entry into the bypass and on the external exit from the bypass represents transit traffic. A general model for measuring transit has been set. The model represents the contribution of the work, and it makes it possible to measure the transit and other traffic flows on different types of bypasses, of different types of cities. The model has been used to determine the share of transit traffic on the Zagreb bypass, i.e. on one approach to the City of Zagreb. The obtained results can make a significant contribution to urban traffic network planning and designing.
