A Must-Visit Street in Town SEPT/OCT 2016 SEPT/OCT A must-visit street in town With the makeover of one of Zagreb’s prettiest streets finally completed, the main route from the Lower to the Upper Town is back in full swing. Radićeva street is a symbol of both Zagreb’s romantic past and its new buzzy vibe. Now together with Mesnička street, which runs parallel, it marks off the spectacular walking district of central Zagreb, including the Grič tunnel that connects both streets underground.

    PROM-PRO 2015-2017 ▪ Workshop Proceedings Publisher University of Zagreb Faculty of Transport and Traffic Sciences For publisher Prof. Hrvoje Gold, Ph.D. Editor-in-Chief Assoc. Prof. Doris Novak, Ph.D. Editorial board Assist. Prof. Edouard Ivanjko, Ph.D. Ivona Bajor, Ph.D. Mira Pavlinović, Ph.D. Hrvoje Pilko, Ph.D. Tomislav Rožić, Ph.D. Nikola Bakarić, M.A. Printed by Ispis d.o.o, Zagreb, Croatia Edition 150 copies CIP zapis je dostupan u računalnome katalogu Nacionalne i sveučilišne knjižnice u Zagrebu pod brojem 000954719. ISBN 978-953-243-085-1 Zagreb, 2017. FOREWORD Science and research in all areas is oriented towards research groups and networks. Education, research and innovation are characterised by a strong flow of knowledge, introduction of research results and innovation practice into education, strong partnerships and intellectual property management. New ideas and knowledge, new processes, products and services, and new entrepreneurship are the ingredients of investigative creativity. In the service of a research-oriented university, the Faculty of Transport and Traffic Sciences intends to take special care of its students as potential researchers. This is especially important for postgraduate students who should have the opportunity to do research as a part of a project. However, research should be equally introduced at the graduate level where learning should be oriented towards research (as a function of the paradigm shift from learning after research to learning through research). Faculty of Transport and Traffic Sciences established in 2014 a strategic framework in order to improve the quality of research activities and increase productivity in the field of traffic and transportation engineering.
