Development of Proposals to Improve the Efficiency of Public Urban Passenger Transport

The Russian Automobile and Highway Industry Journal, 2019

Introduction. Urban public transport plays an important role in modern cities. At the same time, the financial performance of public transport’s work is far from ideal. The purpose of the paper is to identify a promising area for increasing the payback of public urban passenger transport by application of different scientific methods.Materials and methods. The paper demonstrated the significant statistical relationship between the route’s payback of public urban passenger transport and the indicators of using the capacity of passenger vehicles. Moreover, the author presented the average value of the passenger stress coefficient. The author also proposed to increase the payback of public urban passenger transport based on the use of variable-length electric buses (modular vehicles), which allowed more precise adjustment to the capacity of passenger traffic.Results. Calculation examples showed that the use of modular passenger vehicles increased the public transport’s payback on 26%.D...

Evaluation of the Potential to Increase Return on Work Urban Passenger Transport Daily Passenger Volume Forecast

Herald of Polotsk State University. Series B. Industry. Applied Sciences

The size of passenger traffic is one of the fundamental values in the organization of urban passenger traffic in regular traffic. It determines the number of passenger vehicles (PTS) on the route, their capacity, traffic intervals. At the same time, the volume of passenger traffic is not constant and can change daily depending on the day of the week, month of the year and other factors. At the same time, the number of vehicles operating on the route, their capacity and intervals of movement, as a rule, change only by the type of day of the week (weekday/weekend) and by season (summer/ winter schedule). In such conditions, there is often an excess of carrying capacity compared to with the available capacity of passenger traffic, which leads to an unjustified increase in the cost of urban public passenger transport (OPPT). Therefore, the creation of conditions under which the transportation capacity of the PTS will be as close as possible to the size of the passenger traffic will incr...

Development of an Approach to Improving the Passenger Transport Routing Scheme in a Large City

World of Transport and Transportation, 2021

Despite high importance of mass passenger transport for ensuring mobility of urban population, the current period is characterized by a pronounced shift in priorities in implementation of measures for development of the transport system of a large city towards private transport. Along with impossibility of maintaining high rates of construction and reconstruction of the main street and road network, such a position regarding urban planning results in significant overload of almost the entire transport infrastructure of a large city. In the opinion of most experts, key measures aimed at stabilizing the transport situation in cities should comprise implementation of a policy of active development of the mass passenger transportation system. Among the issues of organizing passenger transport operation, the most interesting is the procedure for tracing routes followed by subsequent development of a rational routing scheme, since in many respects the urban passenger travel time will depe...

IMPACTS OF PUBLIC TRANSPORT TO MACROSCOPIC CHARACTERISTICS OF TRAFFIC FLOW

2023

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.

On Analysis of Traffic Flow Demultiplexing Effectiveness

Modeling and Analysis of Information Systems, 2019

It is known that the demultiplexing of the individual traffic flow into several independent transport subflows can increase the speed of it. This statement is true for a single flow but its truth for themassivecase, when demultiplexing technics are applied to all traffic flows in the network of a single Internet Service Provider (ISP), is not obvious. The question arises, what impact the massive demultiplexing of traffic flows will have on the whole ISP network bandwidth. In this paper, this question is considered for the static case, when each flow is demultiplexed statically, i.e. every flow before its launching is demultiplexed into the same number of subflows. We developed a mathematical model that was used to construct a simulation model in order to obtain more accurate estimates of the network performance with and without flow demultiplexing. Using simulation model, network properties are defined, under which the demultiplexing of traffic flows is justified. We proved the corr...

Development of proposals on passenger questionnaires for regular urban passenger transport

The Russian Automobile and Highway Industry Journal

Introduction. Public transport in the life of modern cities plays a significant role in the formation of urban transport systems, thereby affecting the environment, the quality of people’s life, their health, road safety, etc.Knowledge of the existing features of public transport functioning will allow for competent intervention in the operation of this system, increase its attractiveness and attract additional passengers. It is possible to obtain such knowledge by polling system users – passengers. Transport surveys around the world are widely used to develop measures to improve the operation of transport, as well as to evaluate their effectiveness.This article provides an analysis of the regulatory documents governing the conduct of transport surveys, as well as scientific literature, including foreign ones, describing both the conduct and results of such surveys. The relevance of the topic is due to the need to generalize the experience of conducting transport surveys and the imp...

Consumer Value Comparison of Private Vehicles and Public Transport in Suburban Transportation

Economic scope, 2021

The consumer's decision on the choice of a way to move in space, but directly in this article on the choice of the type private or suburban public transport, is based on the person's expectation of the consumer value of the trip, which will have a certain size and content. Consumer value for suburban transportation – as a result of the interaction of the passenger with the carrier. The elements of the consumer value for suburban passenger transportation by public transport are shown in general. With the help of previous research in this area, as well as the author's own experience, the elements and content of the consumer value, commuter travel by public transport and private car, are further formed and revealed. The elements of consumer value consist of the preferences and sacrifices of the passenger. The article aims to use more modern and universal approaches to shaping the consumer value content and components of commuter travel. This set-up should be based on a sequ...
