The project is hereafter referred to as IMOD-X project. Country: Republic of Serbia Organisation: SINTEF Technology and Society 1. Ministry of Capital Investments of the Republic of Serbia Co-operation 2. Faculty of Transport and Traffic Engineering, University of partners: Belgrade (Department of Logistics)1 Recipient: Ministry of Capital Investments of the Republic of Serbia 1 For full contact details of the project partners, please refer to the list of project partners at the beginning. 4 Status: Final 2 Executive Summary 2.1 Conclusion Since Belgrade already is a hub concerning transport, network of modes, and activities, as well as the most economic beneficial location of a terminal, it is also reasonable that a start of the intermodal solutions development takes place here. To step up the development and avoid loosing time a clear advice is to focus on the development in the Belgrade area. During a period of time to experience market penetration and service functionality, and in cooperation with the service providers, the development of 1-2 additional terminal locations could be within the range of economic viability. 2.2 Project Structure and Implementation The project has consisted of several tasks, namely: The inception phase Phase I: Status and Best Practice Phase II: Gap analysis of market and services Phase III: Solutions for intermodal services Phase IV: Implementation strategies During the inception phase a detailed project plan was submitted and accepted by the cooperating partners, the Serbian authorities and the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs – the granting institution. Project implementation Based on the project objectives, the project partners defined activities and tasks necessary for meeting of the stated project objectives. The main project phases and tasks, with the start and completion date, are represented in a Gant diagram (fig. 4.1, page 11). Status and good practice The objective of seeking best practice solutions is to learn from the successful examples and avoid the unsuccessful. However, taken into consideration the stage of development Serbia is in, it has been difficult to find similar premises for the best examples of solutions. Therefore, the project gave advice concerning the important stages and issues for the development of intermodal solutions. As a consequence, hereto, the focus have changed from the “Best practice” (BP) to “Good practice” (GP). When using the term “Good practice”, it can be to a larger extent looked for solutions, with the reference to the Serbian situation, for which there are reasons to believe will function. Gap analysis of market and services In addition to the collection of data on transport flows (Status and Good Practice section), the project conducted series of interviews with the local companies in order to form more complete picture on the gap between the current and desired future situation with regard to the intermodal transport (ImT) service offer in Serbia. The interviews helped pinpoint main problems and obstacles responsible for the gap. The interviews were structured and pre-defined. The interviewed companies are companies having significant share on the market they operate in and represent both the demand and supply side of the transport sector in Serbia. 5 Status: Final Solutions for intermodal services As a part of the process of describing solutions for intermodal services, it has been carried out quantitative analysis of effects of the intermodal terminals development. The documentation consists of a presentation of the quantitative analysis and a presentation of a holistic concept for terminal development. The three groups of effects were considered in the analysis of effects of the intermodal terminals development: 1. Economic Effects 2. Time Saving Effects 3. Environmental Effects It is clear that the road transport is superior in terms of the costs and time to the intermodal transport today. However, the differences are not that big and the negative numbers are consequence of used input time estimations (e.g. time for formation of a train, average speed of a train, etc.) and

  • ROADS of SERBIA” ZORAN DROBNJAK “When You Want to Develop an Area, Equip It with Good Roads”, Prof
    INTRODUCTION ACTING DIRECTOR OF THE PE “ROADS OF SERBIA” ZORAN DROBNJAK “When you want to develop an area, equip it with good roads”, prof. dr Milan Vujanić says and I entirely agree with this. Interdependence of industry and roads is quite evident because roads, in addition to their main function concerning the transport of people and goods, also generate growth and development of all places through which the road network passes as well as all other which are indirectly connected with motorways and other important routes in the Republic of Serbia. Thus it is the main dedication of the PE “Roads of Serbia” to achieve what is expected from us – to successfully finish all investments and provide the same level of quality of all the roads in Serbia with constant increase of the level of traffic safety, with cordial assistance of the Government of the Republic of Serbia and the Ministry of Construction, Transport and Infrastructure. This is an imperative of our work, not only because of the expectations in front of us regarding the accession to the European Union, but also because good roads are one of the pillars of every serious and modern country. Road towards the achievement of big results starts with the devotion of individuals, each one of us. Owing to an exceptional devotion of the employees in the PE “Roads of Serbia”, achievement of the adopted plans is possible, regardless of the difficulties and not always favourable work conditions which the time sets upon us. Daily perseverance, devotion and openness of our employees to new knowledge and changes is obvious.

  • The Zero Decade of Architecture in Belgrade and Serbia
    S A J _ 2009 _ 1 _ UDK BROJEVI: 72(497.11)”19/20” ID BROJ: 172311564 THE ZERO DECADE OF ARCHITECTURE IN BELGRADE AND SERBIA A B S T R A C T The intention of this paper is to contemplate the root problem that was prevalent in the architecture in Serbia and in Belgrade in the last decade, and to try to provide some insight into few issues and discuss the future solutions: what are the core values and what is specific in the recent architecture of Belgrade/ Serbia, what was lacking in the theoretical and practical areas of architecture and what is the significance of the realized architecture at the local, regional or the European level. The challenge of keeping the traditional architecture, yet incorporate proven global concepts that are both aesthetically pleasing, yet serve a practical purpose, was in conclusion presented as the emulation of the new ideas on old notions, integration of global concepts, local knowledge and experience to deliver superior quality architectural achievements, based on highly motivated, professional, visionary, resourceful, experienced or promising Serbian architects. Zoran Lazović 1 KEY WORDS University of Belgrade - Faculty of Architecture ARCHITECTURE CONTEXT CULTURE SYMPTOMS RESULTS PARADIGMS CHANGES S A J _ 2009 _ 1 _ The architecture in Belgrade and Serbia, its creative potential and implemented concepts in the recent period, are barely known today, even at the regional level. The reason for that certainly being closing of the culturological and communicational theoretical and practical interaction with the international community and the overall isolation during the nineties, which continued over the past decade too, with austere and incomplete flow or exchange of information, very few exhibitions of the achievements of the Serbian architecture in the region or in Europe, with acutely small number of published works, texts, books and reviews of works, either locally or within Europe.

William Alsop Institut für Architektur und Entwerfen E253/4 Abteilung für Hochbau und Entwerfen eingereicht an der Technischen Universität Wien Fakultät für Architektur und Raumplanung von Tijana Ostojic 1129380 Wien, am 30.10.2015 2 :Abstract The project occupies a prominent marina ‘’Dorcol’’ near the inner port of the city of Belgrade. Located on this particular site on the river near the city center, it is influenced by contrasting hard elements of ship building constructions and on the other side the soft transparancy of water. The design object is inspired by marine flora and fauna with the goal of preserving and further research of the marine life, as well as increasing awareness of environmental issues and importance of marine ecosystem. The systems of aquariums and exhibitions are allocated in the object depending on the temperature requirements for the animals and the plants, as well as the movement of hot air, so e.g. Rain Forest exhibition is in the south part of the object above the ground level and the North Pole exhibition area is located in the north part.

Ivo Andric . HIGHLIGHTS: New Beška Bridge is opened to traffic Зоран Стојисављевић, B.Sc. (C.E.) „Bigger investments – better roads” Gazela Bridge Rehabilitation Environmental Protection Lower tolls for vans Acknowledgement of the Tradition Preservation Huge Construction Undertaking On the occasion of works completion and opening to traffic the new bridge on the Danube at Beška, the Director General of the PE “Roads of Serbia”, Zoran Drobnjak, emphasizes: “I am proud that we have built one of the biggest and longest bridges in Europe. Even though we had big problems during construction because of the landslide occurrence on the right bank of the Danube and its remedy, we managed to build new bridge that is only five meters away from the existing one. Realization of these works is huge construction undertaking that requires great skills of everyone included in the construction of twin bridges over Beška. I congratulate everyone that contributed to the construction of this grand structure, which will be of use to the future generations and shall be in operation for the next 125 years”. Gazela Bridge Rehabilitation Works on the Gazela Bridge are in their final phase, which implies the bridge reconstruction on the main traffic route towards Novi Beograd. The works on pavement of the upstream side of the bridge were finished in the last three months in Šid- Niš direction and one half of the bridge was opened to traffic in its full width on July 18th.

  • The Future of the Auto World in the COVID Era
    INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC JOURNAL "TRANS & MOTAUTO WORLD" WEB ISSN 2534-8493; PRINT ISSN 2367-8399 The future of the auto world in the COVID era Nataša Tomić- Petrović University of Belgrade, Serbia Abstract: The eco car of the year 2020 was the “Corolla HB” 1.8 HSD. The French made the original car, after the new "Peugeot 208", the base is the same as in the model "2008", which is 25 cm longer, the wheelbase is 2.6 meters and it is dominated by power. Its maximum speed is 198 kilometers/h. No one can compare to the French "lion". "Mercedes" announced that Formula 1 drivers will drive completely black cars instead of the "silver arrow" in the upcoming season, thus promising the fight against racism and increasing diversity in their champion team. The auditing company "Deloitte" claims that the automobile industry in the world is about to collapse due to the consequences of the Corona virus pandemic. The Covid-19 pandemic is not subsiding, now Mexico and the Brazil are the most endangered. During the epidemic in Serbia in April this year, the production of motor vehicles and trailers decreased by 84%, and in Kragujevac based "Fiat" was faced not only with a lack of demand, but also with a lack of parts for production. During the state of emergency, truckers w ere particularly endangered and suffered heavy losses. Losses in the passenger domestic and international bus traffic were then estimated at 2 8 million euros. Despite the pandemic that reigns, "Renault" has confirmed its leading position on the European electric car market.
