Abstract

The paper considers the issues of the formation of a system of transport interchange hubs (TIH), associated with the determination of the location of TIH in order to improve the quality of the provided transport services. The model of the optimal choice of TIH system is presented in the form of a linear Boolean programming problem. The paper gives the factors that reduce the average travel time around the city due to the formation of a system of transport hubs. In order to solve the problem of the choice of TIH locations, the approach based on the definition of “effective interchange hubs” is proposed. The determination of effective interchange hubs is carried out according to the following algorithm. First we found a list of non-stop (direct) rides. Then, we consider the rides for which there is no direct route or for which there is such a route, but this revealed connecting route will take less time. These hubs are efficient. Next, a list of effective interchange hubs is determined and the amount of passenger traffic at each hub is specified. Using mathematical methods to solve integer programming problems, it is possible to select such efficient interchange hubs, in which it is advisable to create transport interchange hubs. These scientific results can be used in programs and projects for the development of urban transport systems in the development of basic requirements for the formation of transport hubs.

The following aspects are considered as the initial data for the studied problem of finding effective interchange hubs: a matrix of interstop correspondence [6, 15], a graph of the urban transport network indicating routes, stops and possible interchange hubs, travel times between all public transport stops on all city routes [7]

Summary

Introduction

The problem of the development of urban transport infrastructure in cities and megalopolises, including transport interchange hubs (TIH), has become increasingly important. Optimal placement of TIH increases the attractiveness of public urban transport ensuring fast, safe and comfortable travel through interchange hubs. It is proposed to create transport and interchange hubs on the basis of railway stations, passenger depots and metro stations. According to this principle, transport hubs have been formed in super-large cities of Russia [3, 11, 12, 14, 15] and foreign countries [5, 10]
