croatia in the european transport network

Croatia extends from the

furthest eastern edges of the

Alps in the north-west to the

Pannonian lowlands and the

banks of the Danube in the east;

its central region is covered by

the Dinara mountain range, and

its southern parts extend to the

coast of the Adriatic Sea. Croatian

mainland covers 56,542 km2, popu-

lated with 4,437,460 inhabitants.

Through Croatia the routes from the

West and Central Europe lead towards

the countries of the Southeast Europe

and Middle East and to the countries of

the Central Danube basin and their hinter-

land all the way to the Adriatic seaports.

The development plans of the Repub-

lic of Croatia are being complied with

the international documents, which de-

fine the development of the European

road network. The main Pan-European cor-

ridors that intersect Croatia are as follows:

• CORRIDOR V: - Branch B:

Rijeka - Zagreb - Budapest,

- Branch C: Plo~e - Sarajevo - Osijek - Budapest,

• CORRIDOR X: - Main corridor: Munich - Salzburg

Pan-European road corridors (Helsinki, 1997)

- Ljubljana - Zagreb - Belgrade - Skopje – Thessalonike /

Athens with the branch Ni{ – Sofija / Istambul,

and branch A: Graz - Maribor - Zagreb.

These European corridors are fully compliant with the main

Croatian longitudinal and transversal transport routes. Should

the Adriatic corridor stretching along the coast on the route

connecting North Italy with Greece be joined to them, the

mainstay of the entire transport network would be defined.

The Croatia’s littoral areas are separated from Pannonia and the

Danube basin by the Dinaric Alps, which extend along the Adriatic

coast in a northwest-southeast direction. This mountain barrier has

represented a great challenge for road builders ever since ancient

times. The importance of connecting the northern plains with the coast

lies in the fact that the largest part of the gross domestic product is

realised in the Pannonian region and a somewhat lesser part in the

littoral region whereas the mountainous areas are the least developed.

ensuring the progression of the undertaken works on some sections

and structures, in the forthcoming period best efforts shall be used to

improve the organisation of routine maintenance and the automation

of toll collection as well as to ensure better quality of services along

motorways.

The management and operation of public roads has been organised

based on strategic documents, and the Amendments to the Public

Roads Act as well as based on the planning documents (the Public

Roads Construction and Maintenance Programme for the 2001 to 2004

period and the Public Roads Construction and Maintenance Programme

for the 2005 to 2008 period). The implementation of the road construc-

tion and maintenance plan falls under the competence of the Ministry

of the Sea, Tourism, Transport and Development. The long-term

strategy and medium-term plans are very important to ensure timely

preparation of construction, implementation of investigations, develop-

ment of studies and design documents as well as timely land easement

and issuance of all necessary approvals and construction permit.

The financing model that has been used for the motorway construc-

tion, maintenance and operation was established in 2001, and it was

a significant twist in Croatian road construction industry. A that time it

was decided that further 450 km of motorway and 81 km of a single-

carriageway shall be completed by 2005. Thus, in the 3-year period a

larger number of kilometres were supposed to be built than in the pre-

vious three decades. The reason for such decision was that the previous

construction schedule was not a guarantee for the desired economic

growth.

According to the Public Roads Act the construction and maintenance of

motorways in Croatia was confined to the company Hrvatske auto-

ceste d.o.o. (HAC). Besides, there is a legal possibility for ceding the

motorway construction and operation rights to a concession company.

Congruously, some parts of the motorway network are operated by the

competent concession companies:

Autocesta Rijeka – Zagreb d.d. (ARZ)

Autocesta Zagreb – Macelj d.o.o. (AZM)

Bina – Istra d.d. (BI)

The construction of the road network has been

largely defined by the political circumstances most

of all by the Croatia’s newly achieved indepen-

dence in 1991. The transport network completed

by the 1990’s had been primarily conceived to

comply with the priorities of the former state and

therefore the routes connecting Croatia with

the sources of traffic (northern and western

borders) and the coast had been largely

neglected.

The construction of the motorway net-

work has been recognised as a strategic

prerequisite for the development of the

country, its economic growth, and linking

its territory with the European transport

network. Intensive preparation for the

construction of new roads started

immediately upon the proclama-

tion of the country’s independence,

however the prerequisites for the

intensive construction projects

were achieved ten years later.

The greatest Croatian develop-

ment project – the construction

of the motorway network has

been very intensive and its

completion is foreseen with-

in the next several years.

In terms of organisation,

financing and construc-

tion the success of this

project was paramount

both at the European

and world level.

In addition to

manaGement of the motorway system

The company Hrvatske autoceste a limited liability company for

operation, construction and maintenance of motorways was

constituted as a state-owned limited liability company. It was

established in April 2001, by splitting a single road administration.

The company makes use of its own funds and is responsible for imple-

menting the motorway management policy. The company’s sources of

income include:

• dedicated fuel tax

• toll revenue

• charges for the use of roadside land and from utility services

• long-term loans.

Such financing model allowed the company to take loans from foreign

banks and to base its debt servicing on its annual income. The com-

pany’s financing model has covered the period by the year 2030 when

the last loan instalment shall be repaid. The model shows that the loan

funds used for the realisation of the 2001 to 2004 Programme and those

foreseen for the next four-year Motorways Construction and Mainte-

nance Plan will be repaid from the company’s own sources.

In the first few years upon the company’s establishment, its business

activities consisted in the construction of new sections according to the

ambitious Government-approved plans. Today the company’s business

goals are more oriented towards the management of motorways in view

of the road users’ needs.

Page 11: Croatian Autoceste

The 100% state-owned public limited company Autocesta Rijeka

- Zagreb d.d. was established in 1997. The company’s income

consists in the toll revenue and the charges for the roadside

service facilities on the Rijeka – Zagreb motorway route.

The company was awarded a 28-year concession with the purpose

of closing the financial, construction, management and operation

structure for the Rijeka to Zagreb route and its structures and

roadside facilities built on the road land. The total length of the

route operated by the subject company is 146.5 km. The company

took over 87 km of already completed motorway which was partly

built as a single carriageway while the remaining length that had

to be constructed included 60 km between Kupjak and Karlovac.

In the first few years upon the company’s establishment, financing

of the works on the Kupjak – Vrbovsko section largely drew on the

state budget and the loans obtained from the local and foreign

business banks. Later on, with the approaching EU-accession of

the Republic of Croatia further construction was financed

out of the loans obtained from the European

Development Banks. The debt servicing is

being made out of the toll revenue.

In June 2004 the first phase of

construction of Rijeka to

Zagreb motorway was

completed which

included 60

autocesta rijeka - zaGreb d.d.

km of motorway and single-carriageway from Kupjak to Karlovac.

From that time on, the entire length of 146.5 km out of which

91 km built as a full-scale motorway has been in traffic.

The second phase of construction comprises

widening of the single carriageway to

the full-scale motorway. The works

on this project started in 2005

and the completion is

scheduled for 2008.

Page 12: Croatian Autoceste

BINA – ISTRA d.d. is a public limited company established in 1995

with the purpose of financing, construction and operation of mo-

torways within Istrian “y” motorway. The concession agreement

was signed in 1995 in Paris for the 32-year period. The subject

of concession is financing, construction and operation of the 145 km

of motorway on the sections from Umag to Pula (80 km) and Kanfanar

- Pazin - Matulji (65 km). The first phase includes the construction of

a single carriageway and a part of works associated with the second

phase. By the end of 2005, 130.6 km of road was opened to traffic.

The shareholders structure is as follows:

• 51 % - Bouygues (France)

• 44 % - Hrvatske autoceste d.o.o. (Croatia)

• 3 % - INA Oil Industry (Croatia)

• 2 % - Istarska autocesta d.d. (Croatia)

The BINA – ISTRA shareholders ensure funds for the construction,

operation and maintenance of the motorway and the Republic of

bina – istra d.d.

Croatia provides annual financial support till 2017. The annual amount

of this support is determined with regard to the needed financing for

loan repayment and for keeping the required maintenance standard

as well as to ensure the payment of the guaranteed profit by 2009.

The company took over the operation of the previously completed

section between Rogovi}i and Matulji along with the U~ka tunnel. The

37 km-long section between Rogovi}i and Vodnjan was completed in

December 1999.

The 42 km–long single carriageway between Medaki and Umag was

opened to traffic in spring 2005, while the completion of the Vodnjan–

Pula section is scheduled for 2006.

The construction of the full-scale motorway will be undertaken when

the average annual daily traffic on the single carriageway reaches the

number of 10,000 vehicles and the average summer daily traffic reaches

the number of 16,000 vehicles.

Autocesta Zagreb – Macelj d.o.o. is a limited liability company which

was established in March 2003 when it was ceded the conces-

sion for construction, economic use and maintenance of the 60

km–long motorway. The shareholders structure is as follows: 51%

of shares is held by Pyhrn Concession Holding GmbH (entirely owned

by Austrian Strabag) and 49% of shares are held by the Republic of

Croatia.

The fundamental obligation of this concession company is to ensure

financing for construction without sovereign guarantee, to construct

and subsequently operate and maintain the motorway over the 28-year

period. The period of the concession started in mid-2004.

The obligations of the Republic of Croatia towards the concession com-

pany are as follows:

- to cede the completed sections to the concessionnaire without com-

pensation

autocesta zaGreb - macelj d.o.o

- to develop final design for new sections

- to acquire land and to relocate utility infrastructure on the new route

- to provide guarantee for the minimum traffic volume

Before the concession was ceded 8.4 km of single-carriageway had

been completed as well as 33.3 km of motorway. For the full completion

of the motorway further 15.65 km of motorway and 10.1 km of single-

carriageway remains to be finished. The opening to traffic of the whole

motorway is scheduled for spring 2007.

With the purpose of closing the financial structure and reducing the

costs of construction the most complex section (3.75 km long) will be

built as a single-carriageway. With the same purpose the Republic

of Croatia will support the project with a financial aid whose amount

equals the amount of the VAT paid on the toll revenue.

The companies operat-

ing the motorways

are organised in a

professional asso-

ciation – Croatian Association of Toll

Motorways Concessionaires (HUKA)

whose purpose is to protect and promote

the interests of companies that were

ceded the concession for construction,

operation and maintenance of motorways

in the Republic of Croatia and to foster

cooperation with national and international

organisations and associations interested in

dealing with motorways in the concession

system.

HUKA was founded in late 2003 and its

members include Hrvatske autoceste d.o.o.,

Autocesta Rijeka-Zagreb d.d., BINA-ISTRA

d.d. and Autocesta Zagreb-Macelj d.o.o.

The Association has three standing commit-

tees: Technical Committee for Toll, Technical

Committee for Traffic and the Committe for

Financing.

HUKA is a member of the European Professional

Association of Tolled Motorway Companies

- ASECAP.

In the Republic of Croatia toll is charged in proportion to the

length of the travelled section and the appertaining vehicle

category.

On motorways with several entrances and exits the closed

toll collection system is in use. At the entrance the road user

is given a toll ticket based on which the toll fee is charged

at the exit. In the closed toll systems, the toll tariff for the

first vehicle category (passenger cars) amounts to HRK 0.40

per motorway kilometre and it shall be raised to 1:3.3 for the

fourth vehicle category (heavy vehicles).

On road structures (bridges, tunnels) and on shorter motorway

sections open toll collection system is in use within which a

toll plaza functions as both entry and exit toll plaza and the toll

collection is performed immediately.

Toll may be paid in any of the following ways: by cash in local

or foreign currency, by credit cards, subscription tickets, or

smart cards. In order to accelerate the flow of vehicles through

toll plazas, payment transactions at toll points shall also be made

quicker. With the use of non-cash payment the time of transac-

tions will be made shorter as there will be no more return of petty

cash. Therefore, payment with smart card has been introduced

on all toll plazas as well as the contactless toll collection, or spe-

cifically entry and exit lanes for electronic toll collection through

which vehicles equipped with on board units may pass without

stopping.

With upgrading of the toll collection system, introduction of the

contactless smart card which is already in use and the forthcoming

implementation of the ETC system (practically without stopping) all

necessary prerequisites for eliminating the toll plazas congestions

will be fulfilled.

The new toll collection system is entirely integrated and it compris-

es the financial control, traffic count and video surveillance which

permits monitoring the operation and functioning of the entire

system at any toll collection point at all times from the main centre

situated at the company’s main office.

The intensive construction of modern motorways across the

entire territory of the Republic of Croatia is concurrent with

the construction of communication and information system

for traffic control and management on those routes.

Motorway as a traffic system requires permanent supervision

and management as well as providing information to the mo-

torists, which will ensure road safety in the event of incidents,

peak traffic volumes or maintenance activities. For this reason,

a complex infrastructure system consisting of various technolo-

gies commonly known as Intelligent Transportation System (ITS)

is being built along the motorways. In addition to improving road

safety this equipment contributes to decreased pollution levels, to

time saving and increased mobility.

Further reasons for introduction of traffic supervision and manage-

ment system arise from the specific characteristics of the network

such as inclement weather conditions (snow and wind impact on

some sections) and quite a few longer tunnels. Therefore, for regular

functioning of traffic on motorways, it is essential to establish systems

for exchange of information i.e. information and communication sys-

tems which are divided in two groups:

1. Information system of motorways including traffic information

system, remote traffic management system (used only in tunnels), video

surveillance system, video-detection and toll system.

2. Motorway communication system, which includes telephone sys-

tem, public-address system and broadcasting system in tunnels.

The devices of traffic information system are placed immediately by the

motorway and they include: video detection stations, weather stations,

variable traffic signs (light and electro-mechanical), traffic lights and

road marking.

In remote traffic management system the final devices such as ventila-

tion, fire alarm, lighting, electric supply and measuring systems are

connected with the remote stations.

Video surveillance system includes CCTV cameras, which are placed

along the motorway and the operating part of the system that is placed

traffic control and manaGement

in the maintenance and traffic control centre.

Video detection system is used for counting vehicles, determining the

driving speed and detection of traffic incidents.

Communication system for SOS telecommunications is placed by the

motorway and is used by motorists in case of emergency (to call for

help from fire-fighting units, ambulance etc). The SOS telephone ex-

change is located within the traffic control centre.

Broadcasting system in the tunnel is used to establish radio

connection between two or more radio stations inside the tunnel

with the outside radio stations and for transmission of one or

more radio programmes and to provide information to users

who listen to that programme inside the tunnel. Broadcasting

system is installed in tunnels longer than 1,000m.

The purpose of public-address system is to provide necessary informa-

tion or instructions to users who got stuck in the tunnel owing to a

traffic incident.

The information transfer technology and development of user applica-

tions permit the integration of information and communication systems

as well as the central control by the company’s management.

Furthermore, to be able to get the whole picture on traffic conditions in

the Republic of Croatia a main traffic control centre shall be established

at the highest level of the basic network. The planned centre in Lu~ko

near Zagreb will receive summarised information from regional centres

and enable their broadcasting. This centre will also unite the functions

of all entities involved in the traffic system, all concessionaires, police

force, emergency service and Croatian Automobile Club (HAK). It will

also permit the introduction of new services for the motorway users

primarily through Internet service, some of which are currently under

way such as:

- Call centre,

- Fleet management,

- Information before/during the trip,

- Escort vehicles,

- Planning trips.

Page 20: Croatian Autoceste

The use of roadside land for the con-

struction of roadside service facilities and

performing the appertaining services will

be awarded through public tendering to

the best tenderer for the period of 25 years

for which the tenderer is obligated to pay

the legally stipulated charges for the use of

such land and for performing such services.

An important aspect of riding comfort on mo-

torways is attributed to the quality of roadside

service facilities (RSF), which supply the road

users with fuel, refreshments, and meals and they

provide the needed rest. Considering the closed

system of travelling on Croatia’s motorways, heavy

traffic flows, greater speed and distances in different

types of travels, having rest during travel is getting

increasingly important from the aspect of road safety.

Modern roadside service facilities also provide

tourist information to their visitors as well as bank-

ing and Internet services and they have facili-

ties adjusted to disabled persons and children.

Increasing attention is being paid to the design of fa-

cilities and landscaping, and to their visual compliance

with the environment. This shall be obtained by archi-

tectural and landscaping design in order to achieve as

attractive visual identity possible of the facility intended

for the rest and comfort of motorists and travellers. Such

locations are thus gaining tourist significance and they

are no longer the areas where travellers stop to have a

meal and rest but to enjoy and spend some quality time.

Achieving high standards and regulations appertaining to

construction and architectural design of roadside service facili-

ties, their variety and the level of service is the main guideline

in planning, construction and management of such facilities.

A modern road network is one of the main prerequisites for

the sustainable economic development. Undisputable posi-

tive effects of the motorway construction arise from simpler

and more comfortable travel between countries and regions.

However, in addition to positive we shall also mention some

negative impacts on the life and health of people in the mo-

torway area. The community is paying increasing attention to

the importance of environmental aspects since the construc-

tion of a motorway may drastically affect the landscape and

disrupt the natural balance between the animal and plant life.

In all segments of their activities the motorway operating compa-

nies supported by the state directorates are tackling these issues

trying to mobilise all the available scientific resources in Croatia.

According to the relevant legislation, environmental protection mea-

sures have been implemented from the preliminary design stages.

The analysis of the corridor of the planned route is being carried

out in accordance with the Zoning Technical Study, which precedes

the Zoning Plan. After that the development of the preliminary study

for the corridor of the planned route is undertaken based on which

environmental impact study is developed. Environmental Impact Study

Assessment procedure follows in which the acceptability of the project

is evaluated and environmental protection measures are defined as well

as the monitoring programme. These measures are prescribed in the

course of the project preparation, during the works and use of motorway

and they are implemented thoroughly in cooperation with all competent

institutions with the greatest regard to the needs of local communities.

environmental aspects

23

Environmental protection measures include the following:

- Protection of cultural heritage i.e. archaeological sites;

- Geology and speleology;

- Drainage system;

- Noise protection;

- Protection against wind impact;

- Permitting natural migrations of game over the motorway area;

- Landscaping of the motorway belt, slope protection of cuts and embankments.

Page 24: Croatian Autoceste

In addition to the historic sites, there are some natural phenomena

that were discovered and researched during the motorway construc-

tion. During motorway construction in the karst region more than 810

caverns i.e. speleological formations without natural entrance have

been discovered over the last fifteen years. The research has been

systematically conducted on all motorway sections; in cuts, tunnels, in

the foundations of bridges, viaducts etc. These sites are located on the

Zagreb-Rijeka and Zagreb-Split motorways as well as on the Istrian

highway, Rijeka-Rupa motorway and on the Rijeka town bypass.

The longest cave is the cavern in Sveti Rok tunnel in which

1,137 metres of channels with the 147 metres altitude have

been speleologically investigated and surveyed.

Among the measures that are implemented before the works we shall

point to the protection of cultural heritage i.e. archaeological sites.

Prior to the very beginning of civil engineering works the experts

inspect the route and carry out systematic archaeological investiga-

tions as well as documenting and site preservation. During the works

they ensure archaeological supervision over earthworks to avoid

endangering unknown archaeological sites. On newly discovered sites

safety archaeological excavations and investigations are carried out.

The motorway operators have invested large funds into re-

search of sites that would otherwise be long due.

For instance, owing to the valuable archaeological find at the Peli~eti

estate in the vicinity of Pula, Bina Istra has relocated the planned

overpass outside the area of the Roman country house and the

with the soil preparation the largest possible area of the future ar-

chaeological park along the future motorway will be protected.

Page 25: Croatian Autoceste

Some motorway sections pass through the area affected by strong

winds among which we shall mention the north-eastern “bura” wind

whose intensity and gusts contribute to the severe traffic disturbance.

This problem is especially evident on locations where the roadway is laid

on viaducts since the wind intensity gets heavier at greater altitudes.

The measuring of the wind direction and velocity has shown that on

some locations e.g. on the Sveti Rok – Posedarje section the wind veloc-

ity can reach 250 km/h. The angle of wind impact on vehicles is usually

very steep which makes difficult the construction of efficient barriers.

Extensive research is conducted for the purposes of design-

ing efficient and economic barriers such as the implementa-

tion the windbreak field trial in the vicinity of the Maslenica

Bridge (A1). A windbreak field trial has been also conducted

on the section from the Sveti Rok tunnel to Posedarje.

The results of research will show the extent of time for which the

closing of some motorway section or bridge may be reduced (or

even undisturbed traffic flow may be ensured) and how much the

road safety may be increased under the strong wind impact.
