Development Opportunities for Public Transport Facilities in the Wroclaw Agglomeration on Selected Examples

Abstract

The construction of passenger stops of the railway transport has been proposed in order to operate the communication infrastructure of two housing complexes – the village of Mirków and the Residential Estate ‘the Four Seasons’ (Polish: ‘Cztery Pory Roku’), belonging to the agglomeration of Wroclaw. The possibility of the location of the stops within the existing infrastructure is considered. There are presented several variants of the solution to the track layout with passenger service facilities (platforms). The parameters are provided to use for the proposed railroad turnouts and the track pavement structure. In the case of the Estate ‘Four Seasons’ there are also discussed the conditions for the construction of the tram route enabling communication with the center of Wroclaw. The concept of the tram loop in terms of the location of the estate area and the geometric layout of tracks is presented as well.
