Abstract:In recent years, there has been a significant increase in urban public transport. This has led to overabundant route networks; deteriorated conditions for moving route transport within cities; conflict situations at stop points occurring between vehicles of duplicating routes. Conflict situations occurring between vehicles of different routes at stop points when loading and unloading passengers prove the problem of optimizing urban route networks to be insufficiently investigated, with traffic, demand and infrastructure limitations being considered. Conflict situations at stop points are found to be dependent on route configurations and network parameters, with the number of conflict situations being inversely dependent on the number of combined intervals for route transportation through stop points and their throughout capacity. There has been developed an imitation model for moving vehicles of adjacent routes, with a model for optimizing urban route network parameters being presented. It reduces conflicts in number due redistributed vehicles of various types for routes, with the population's demand for transportation being absolutely satisfied. Models and methods can be used by transportation companies, city administrations to develop and improve urban route public transport networks.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
