IMPACTS OF PUBLIC TRANSPORT TO MACROSCOPIC CHARACTERISTICS OF TRAFFIC FLOW (original) (raw)

Public transport (buses) have similar to each other type of vehicles. Movement of public transport on automobile roads has signs of stationarity. For this reason scientific task has been designed. The authors in research evaluate the level of safety of the passenger transport through the consideration of the characteristics of the traffic of passenger transport in terms of the characteristics of the traffic flow. Analysis of the problem formulate influence system between three elements: traffic flow, passenger transport, road environment. Establish criteria for determining the characteristics of the buses movement in terms of the characteristics of the traffic flow. Shown criteria gives the possibility to assess the level of unsafety on the route. Presented general characteristic allows to estimate indirectly the level of road safety of passenger transport.
