Abstract
Mobility by individual transport is determined by many factors that influence the ownership and use of a car. These factors can be divided into categories related to: spatial structure, household socio-economic and demographic characteristics, situation associated with a given journey, including purposes of journey-making. The aim of the paper is to have a closer look at the aforementioned factors with particular reference to spatial aspect. The conclusions to the article underline that the traffic congestion increases and the quality of public transport improves with the growth of settlement network density, which results in a lower level of car use and lower level of motorization rate. This is particularly noticeable in large cities. In turn, in peripherally located rural areas, there is lack of alternative modes of transport, which, combined with longer travel distances to destinations, contributes both to increased motorization as well as to a relatively higher cars’ mileages.
Keywords: individual transport, spatial structure, motorization rate, car use

Impact of selected road investments on traffic safety

Abstract The study of influence, exerted by the road projects on road traffic safety was carried out on the basis of data, contained in the System of Registry of Accidents and Collisions (Polish acronym: SEWIK) for the years 2006-2012, and the questionnaire-based survey. The level of safety on the motorways and expressways, or, more broadly – on the separate traffic roads, is being assessed as much higher than on the remaining national roads. Construction of a motorway results in a significant drop in the number of persons harmed in the accidents over the connections between the cities considered. The fast traffic roads, including the ring roads, being the segments of expressways, significantly improve the safety over the routes of national roads, but do not entail any important change in the accident rates on other roads.
Keywords: road safety, road accidents, individual accident risk, trafiic intensity

Abstract The analysis of the influence, exerted by the road projects on traffic intensity, was performed for the period 2000–2010 on the basis of data on the intensity of traffic of passenger cars and heavy good vehicles over the network of out-of-town national and provincial roads. An abrupt increase of the number of cars and the initiation of the intensive infrastructural undertakings contributed to an essential increase in the intensity of road traffic in Poland. Opening of a motorway or of an expressway entails a shift of a part of traffic, especially of a part of the transit traffic, from the parallel national roads over to the newly constructed road segments. A motorway has, in comparison with the parallel national road, an important competitive time-wise edge, but the situation gets complicated when a motorway fee is introduced. Local factors also exert a significant influence on the changes in traffic intensity.
Keywords: traffic intensity, passenger vehicle traffic, heavy good vehicle traffic, road fees

How can we measure spatial accessibility of the territory of Poland?

Abstract Accessibility is widely used term and plays an important role in many scientific fields. It determines the advantage of one location over the other. Although there are different measures and number of studies on accessibility in the world literature, there are relatively few so far in Poland at the national level. The purpose of this article is to present some results of ongoing research that have been carried out at the IGSO PAS in 2007 and 2008. The projects led to development of methods of calculating time accessibility and the multimodal potential accessibility indicator of the area of Poland. The time accessibility is measured by using the isochronic-based and distance-based accessibility measures. The multimodal potential accessibility indicator is meant to be utilized, for evaluating the possible effects of construction and modernization of the transport network that are envisaged in the EU supported operational programs. The measure may be calculated separately for carriage of goods and passengers, the 16 voivodships (provinces of Poland) and four modes of transport (road, railways, inland waterways and air).
