The simulation model was developed to analyze the transport hub of Heroes of Dukla (Duklianskych hrdinov) in the City of Vranov nad Topľou. The issue of this transport hub is quite a hot topic in the City. The main problems involve long-time queues of vehicles formed in the peak hours and a continual distortion of the carriageway of the intersection. The simulation model will be used to verify the individual variants. Keywords: Transport problem, simulation, traffic flow intensity 1. INTRODUCTION The realization of innovative transport services, requires increasingly greater flexibility and inexpensiveness of the service (Carotenuto, Monacelli, Raponi, & Turco, 2012). Because of that reason mentioned issues about public transportation are subject of research for more than only one author. Review of city logistics modeling efforts is reported in the literature for urban freight analysis (Anand, Quak, van Duin, & Tavasszy, 2012). Novel approach is presented to examining the transportation/land use relationship from a logistics land use perspective (Woudsma, Jensen, Kanaroglou, & Maoh, 2008). Framework for city logistics is proposed for planning (Kuse, Endo, & Iwao, 2010). Firstly, article
