Changing the Parameters of the Urban Transport System with Introduction of Fees from Car Owners for Using the Road Network and Variations in Public Transport Fare

Abstract

. The paper discusses issues of urban mobility of the population. In recent decades, Russia and Belarus has seen active urbanization and an increase in the proportion of residents in large cities. This process is accompanied by motorization. The municipal authorities are introducing the concept of priority to public transport, developing metro, trams and bicycle infrastructure. The above studies also note the difficulty of changing people's attitudes towards personal transport and the need to develop public transport. The hypothesis of the impact of measures to stimulate and demotivate the use of personal cars when traveling and the effectiveness of measures, including the organization of paid parking and reduction of parking spaces, is confirmed in the paper. A mathematical model has been developed for the effect of the cost of travel along 1 km of a highway on the number of movements by type of transport and the total travel time. A two-factor mathematical model has been developed for the effect of the cost of travel along 1 km of a highway and the cost of travel in public transport on the share of movements by type of transport and types of movement. The analysis of changes in the structure of population mobility and traffic parameters calculated using the macro model of the city of Tyumen, built in the PTV VISUM program for the morning time of day, is presented. With the introduction of tolls on the city's street and road network with a tariff of 30 rubles per 1 km, the share of movement by passenger cars decreases from 40 to 16 %. Further research is aimed at taking into account the influence of other socio-economic and technological factors on the structure of population mobility, as well as at developing a methodology for determining balanced tariffs for the urban transport system.
