ABSTRACT The objective of the study is to test the passenger flow One of the key problems when ensuring the quality of life analysis methods and their application for simulation of the of residents of large cities of the world is to raise the transport organization and planning of the transport interchange hub services standards. Among the main aspects of solving this in a large district of the city, planning of the route network problem is the search for the optimal distribution of flows of of municipal passenger transport. personal and ground public municipal passenger transport. The route network of suburban and intercity transport of Northern Administrative District of Moscow has been In this regard the planning, design, and localization of MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL ADMINISTRATION, multifunctional transport interchange hubs (hereinafter – TIH) reviewed. The passenger traffic within the TIHs Rechnoy take on great significance. The experience of their vokzal and Khovrino has been analyzed. arrangement has received wide acceptance in many Based on the study, the authors propose to change the countries of the world. In recent years Moscow has also been route network of ground urban passenger transport. The actively working on the design and construction of TIH; large- implementation of route network changing proposals can scale projects of transport infrastructure facilities construction shorten the time spent on passenger travel and transfer. It are being developed. The TIH system should be capable of is the authors’ opinion that the developed route network is flexible response to changing transport needs of the more effective than the existing one and meets the design population and to their realistic transformation to effectively standards and requirements approved by local city ensure transport mobility of the population. regulations. Keywords: transport, ground public municipal passenger transport, airport, passenger transportation, suburban transportation, route network, transport interchange hub. *Information about the authors: Moroz, Dmitry G. – Ph.D. (Eng), Associate Professor at the Department of Road Transportation of Moscow Automobile and Road State Technical University (MADI), Moscow, Russia, [email protected].
