Abstract

The work proposes a methodological approach to studying and assessing the environmental sustainability of the transport system of the city. The authors have selected parameters for assessing the environmental sustainability of the transport system and identified significant factors affecting environmental sustainability. A coefficient of environmental sustainability of the urban transport system and a formula for its calculation are proposed. A simulation was used to assess the amount of emissions of harmful substances from the car exhaust gases if the demand structure changes with respect to the means of transport and transportation methods. The paper presents the results of changing the parameters of the traffic flow and demand by means of transport and transportation methods when introducing a parking fee in the central part of the city, changing the cost of parking and expanding the paid parking area.

Highlights

Sustainability is one of the important properties of the transport system of the city and depends on a large number of external and internal factors [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]
The transport system is complex and large and includes several subsystems: city passenger public transport, route network, road network, traffic light management, including intelligent transport systems, traffic flow of cars and trucks, buses belonging to individual owners, organizations, and taxi companies
An analysis of previous studies showed that the environmental sustainability of the urban transport system to changes in the weather, climate, transport, and road conditions of car operation should take into account the influence of a large number of external and internal factors

Summary

Introduction

Sustainability is one of the important properties of the transport system of the city and depends on a large number of external and internal factors [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]. Zone (40 Rubles per 1 h) by public transport by bicycle and means of personal mobility pedestrian traffic No paid Parking. The introduction of a fee for cars parking within the road network in the center of the city led to a redistribution of demand by means of transport and transportation methods when performing transport correspondence to this area. At first glance, such slight changes in transport demand are due to an estimate for the entire city and all travel, which concern the area of introduction of paid parking but the city as a whole. Changes in transport demand in the area of introduction of paid parking are more significant (Tables 5 and 6)
