This paper presents the results of theoretical computer-aided research of the microclimate parameters in the vehicle passenger compartment during operation of one of the widely used schemes of heating system in the passenger compartment, taking into account the breathing of passengers. Theoretical researches of the heating system operation in the passenger compartment taking into account passenger breathing have been conducted. Distribution of microclimate parameters in the passenger compartment cross-section, in the case of using a heating system having one compartment heater, with and without taking into account the breathing of passengers, has been obtained. The assessment of the effect of passengers' breathing on the microclimate parameters in the passenger compartment has been carried out. The outcomes of this research may be of interest to specialists involved in the design and ergonomics of wheeled vehicles and labor protection.

In the modern conditions of the Russian Federation in the traffic management field one of the priorities is the development and improvement of the route transport functioning quality. One of the main passengers’ requirements is the minimum travel time expenditures. Satisfying such a requirement without the mutual coordination of transport processes on routes and the use of roadside station by vehicles and passengers is problematic due to their interdependence. The problem of such coordination is inherited both in the cities, and in regional settlements. In this study, a methodology has been developed for coordinating bus schedules on regional routes that have common route sections or roadside station. This methodology was implemented in the Sargatsky district of the Omsk region. According to the obtained results, the average passenger waiting time in the case of a switch was reduced by 37%.

The use of natural gas as a motor fuel in road transport can significantly reduce fuel costs and the adverse environmental impact of motor vehicles. However, an insufficiently developed infrastructure for compressed natural gas (CNG) constrains the growth in the number of natural gas-powered road transport enterprises. The limited number of automobile gas-filling compressor stations (AGFCS) increases the mileage of motor vehicles, which reduces the efficiency of natural gas use in road transport. This study aims to assess the costs of filling with different types of motor fuel regarding the overall costs of road freight. The scientific novelty of the work lies in establishing the dependence of costs for filling with motor fuel on the operational performance of vehicles and the development of fueling infrastructure of specific motor fuel types. For the first time, the authors evaluated the share of fueling costs for light-duty vehicles (LDVs) for different hydrocarbon fuels regarding the costs associated with the transportation process. It was found that the share of fueling costs varies depending on the type of hydrocarbon fuel used and can range from 1.5 to 15%, depending on the fueling infrastructure development. The results obtained can be used in decision-making on choosing the fuel type in the transportation process by LDVs to minimize overall costs.

Introduction. This article is devoted to the problem of determining the territorial (pedestrian) accessibility of stopping points in large cities, which is one of the indicators of the quality of transport services for the population.The aim of the study is to develop a methodology for determining the territorial (pedestrian) accessibility of stopping points of a large city with a thousand or more stopping points, based on publicly available data. The cause of the study was the dificulty of solving this problem, due to the large number of both stopping points and residential facilities, the straightforwardness of the shortest pedestrian approach, the lack of detailed instructions for performing calculations, etc. Based on the review of Russian and foreign scientific sources, approaches to determining the territorial accessibility of stopping points were considered, taking into account various additional parameters, such as the number of routes passing through a stopping point, the intensity of passenger exchange, the availability of socially significant objects, etc. The existing difficulties and peculiarities in determining the availability of stopping points for individual and multi-apartment residential buildings are given. In the framework of the System-wide measures for the development of road facilities federal project and the Safe and high-quality roads national project when preparing an application for the purchase of passenger transport rolling stock for Omsk, the authors carried out scientific and practical work, as a result, a methodology has been developed to overcome some difficulties in determining the transport accessibility of stopping points in a large city by using a partially automated approach at its individual stages.Materials and methods. In particular, tools such as Yandex Map Designer, Table Excel Editor, Xtools Add-in for Excel, QGIS program, Macro in Excel using JavaScript API and HTTP geocoder were used.Results. The calculation of territorial accessibility of stopping points using the developed methodology was carried out for Omsk. The application of this technique allows to reduce labour intensity of calculations up to 10 times. Discussion. The discussion of the results presented guidelines for further improvement of the developed methodology
