Определение пропускной способности улиц и дорог с применением беспилотных летательных аппа-ратов

Abstract

The road network (RN) is an essential element of urban infrastructure. A competently structured RN facili-tates rapid and safe passenger and cargo transportation and reduces the risk of traffic jams, thereby im-proving quality of life in a city. Currently, Russian cities are faced with a large number of transport problems arising from the inconsistency of the approach to the classification and design of the RN combined with a high level of car usage and correspondingly dense traffic flows. In this regard, a new approach is needed to the assessment of traffic patterns in urban environments. The key parameter of RN in urban planning is the throughput capacity of city streets and roads. Currently, this problem is dealt with by specialists from the State Autonomous Institution “Genplan Institute of Moscow”, Moscow State National Research University of Civil Engineering, Moscow Automobile and Road Construction State Technical University (MADI). The im-mediate plans of these specialists include the large-scale research work on the example of the RN of Mos-cow. The aerial video-tape-assisted method is widely used in their study to obtain simultaneous and contin-uous measurements of traffic flow parameters. By this means, data on the composition of the flow and ranges of values of throughput capacity were obtained. A well as the multiband ratio for lanes on a three-lane magistral. The article is devoted to the relevance of the research of throughput capacity of city streets and roads. The content includes the results of a “pilot” study for establishing the values of throughput ca-pacity on the example of two urban settlement sections of a strategic trunk road.
