Air pollution represents one of the most complex problems of humanity. Traffic contributes significantly to this by emitting large amounts of harmful gases. This problem is particularly pronounced at urban intersections due to frequent changes in vehicle movement dynamics. This paper primarily presents the influence of intersection geometry on pollutant emissions levels. In addition, the influence of various traffic policies promoting greater use of public transport and zero-emission vehicles is also examined. The research combines the field part of recording existing intersections in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina with traffic microsimulation. Detailed data on vehicles’ movements were obtained by advanced video processing using the DataFromSky tool, while the PTV Vissim 2022 and Bosch ESTM (2022) software were used to simulate traffic and estimate emissions at geometrically different intersections. The results showed that, in saturated traffic conditions, signalized intersections cause up to 50% lower emissions compared with two-lane and turbo roundabouts and that the impact of the geometric change is more significant than the impact of zero-emission vehicles. In unsaturated conditions, the differences in emissions at different intersections are negligible, with the highest reductions in pollution achieved by using zero-emission vehicles.

increasingly common occurrence of rain with a significant amount of precipitation in one hour, which causes floods. Floods cause great material and intangible damage per population and often endanger human lives. The road network in such situations has crucial importance to take urgent intervention measures and rescue people, animals and material goods. This paper is focused on the natural flood disaster and its influence on road infrastructure and presents the risk assessment methodology and determines critical road sections of main roads in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, analyzing data on 100-year floods.

When reconstructing existing or constructing completely new intersections, the main problem is determining the type of future intersection. Capacity is one of the key indicators that influence the choice of traffic control type. In this paper, using different scenarios of theoretical traffic flow distributions and traffic volume scenarios, the authors have determined the applicability area of two-lane roundabouts. The results obtained were used to improve the existing applicability diagrams of the various intersection types presented in several issues of US Highway Capacity Manuals (US HCM). Capacity in each scenario is determined using HCM 2010 and Hagring methods with practically obtained values of the time gap acceptance parameters.

Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a relatively new technology. The industry, especially when it comes to infrastructure projects, is just beginning to realize the potential benefits of it. Large capital projects are being done today using BIM technology and standards, while in Bosnia and Herzegovina today, we do not have a project implemented by it. BIM is still exhibiting varying states of maturity among its participants. The research was carried out in B&H to realize perceptions of BIM in the infrastructures projects from the perspective of different participants (investor, consultant, designer, supervising engineer, contractor, supplier). The following aims are to demonstrate perception about BIM, the willingness to apply it, and different varying states of maturity among its participants and the current degree of application in practice

Project management frameworks describe the preferred approaches to project quality management, as well as applicable methods and tools. Despite this, quality problems in the construction project are still widespread. This study aimed to identify crucial quality-related factors in construction project management and find relations between them, to help researchers and project managers better respond to quality issues. A systematic literature review (SLR) was used to identify previous studies on quality-related factors. Literature review and further quantitative analysis revealed that quality-related factors are related to three categories: Quality of project process, quality of organisational processes, and quality of results (products), which together create the quality of the whole construction project. The results highlight quality-related factors (14 related to the quality of processes, 6 to quality of an organisation, and 13 to quality of products) that should be taken into account in further research, as well as planning and executing construction projects. Their inclusion at the planning stage should help project managers, sponsors, and steering committees avoid or minimise quality-related problems. Moreover, this study sheds an interesting light on quality. We found that the quality of processes and quality of an organisation has precedence over the final product quality. Based on the results of the study, structural equation modelling (SEM) was used to create a null model that will be the starting point for further research in the construction enterprises.

Safe and efficient transport system are essential in the functioning of business and society at large. The consequence of extreme weather events due to climate change are usually interruption of road network and inaccessibility to urban and economic areas. In Bosnia and Herzegovina climate change manifested itself by gradual changes in climate parameters in the last ten years. So, changes go unnoticed but still have effect on durability and functioning of road infrastructure, like continuous temperature rise, changing of ground water levels, extreme rainfall events, higher maximum temperature and higher number of consecutive hot days, drought (consecutive dry days), extreme wind speed, foggy days, heavy rain for longer periods. As with many hazards, the best way to avoid damage caused by climate change are prevention and preparedness. This paper presents impacts of climate change on roads in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and measures for mitigation and adaptation of road network.

Abstract Although the quality of a process affects the quality of the end product, there is currently an insignificant amount of knowledge about the quality of project management (PM) processes that directly affect the quality of the delivered product (constructed building). This study presents a proposal for modeling the impact of the quality of the PM process on the quality of the constructed building. The quality of the PM process is represented by the main quality factors and product quality indicators. It presents the results of the interviews that were conducted and study cases that were analyzed in Bosnia and Herzegovina with a variety of project participants (with different managerial perspectives) in terms of the indicators of quality of the delivered product. All participants, regardless of managerial perspective, believe that the most important indicator of the quality of products for each phase of the project is “customer satisfaction in the end phase”, the measurement of which is different for each project phase that is presented. The results of the factor analysis of the definition and the planning phases show that 11 variables, namely, the quality factors of the PM process, can be grouped into three new factors, which is described as 66.61% (77.046%) of the basic set of variables.
