INCREASING THE EFFICIENCY OF PASSENGER TRAFFIC BY REGULAR PUBLIC TRANSPORT ACCORDING TO PASSENGER FLOW VARIATIONS

Abstract

The amount of transport demand, estimated by the amount of passenger traffic, is a fundamental factor for the organization of the transportation process. In urban transportation of passengers in regular traffic, the size of the passenger flow on the route determines the number of passenger vehicles, their capacity, and the timetable. Creation of conditions under which the capacity of passenger vehicles will be as close as possible to the amount of passenger traffic on each flight of each route will reduce the cost of providing public transport services without compromising the quality of such services. This article proposes the concept of a new technology for organizing passenger transportation in urban regular traffic, based on daily forecasting on each flight of each route of the passenger flow parameter that determines the required capacity of passenger vehicles, and on that basis, assigning the appropriate composition of vehicle modules for passenger transportation.
