Abstract

The need of the investigation of the efficiency of the city public passenger transport was substantiated from the positions of a system approach. The principles of the system approach are implemented by representing the city public passenger transport as a constituent element of the city environment at the metasystem level. On the basis of the defined stages, the methodological levels of the city public passenger transport assessment were defined, the analysis of the inter-level connections was carried out and the principles of its systematic assessment of its functioning efficiency were formulated. On the basis of the synthesis of the inter-level parameters of the efficiency assessment and the quantification of the advantages of the elements states, taking into consideration the conditions of accounting the function of the increment in the metasystem effectiveness, the formalization of the constituent elements of the assessment of the city public passenger transport system efficiency was presented. The presented approach to the assessment of the city public passenger transport efficiency opens up the new opportunities in terms of understanding the problems of functioning efficiency increase and is based on the accounting conditions of forming the effective state of the whole metasystem. By the investigation results, the expediency of determining the hierarchical forms – composition, structure, organization and metasystem – as the methodological levels of investigating the city public passenger transport was established. The proposed levels and the formalization of the conditions of the inter-level influence reflect the terms of the formation of the purpose hierarchy of the city public passenger transport functioning in the city environment; they form the basis for designing the functional strategies of the transport system development and creating the analytical models of the formation of the organizational and managerial aspects of its functioning.

Highlights

  • The problem of improving the quality and efficiency of the city public passenger transport (CPPT) functioning is relevant for all cities without exception

  • Defining the concept of the transport process efficiency, which can be represented as a category that describes the impact and the effectiveness of the functional processes is a baseline in the formalization of the indicators of the CPPT functioning

  • The prospects of the further research in the field of assessing the CPPT system efficiency lie in performing the parametric analysis, which refers to one of the most difficult tasks and involves forming the distribution conditions and rules for the correspondent methodological levels in the organizational hierarchy of the necessary and sufficient aggregate of the indicators, which characterize the CPPT properties aimed at achieving the main aim of the metasystem

Summary

Introduction

The problem of improving the quality and efficiency of the city public passenger transport (CPPT) functioning is relevant for all cities without exception. The necessary condition of carrying out the efficiency assessment is the adaptation and the formal realization of the principles of the systematic approach aimed at the formation of a complex estimation of the CPPT influence on the vital spheres of the urban environment. Applying this approach allows increasing the level of the objectivity and the adequacy of the projective and the technological solutions which are implemented in the sphere of the city passenger transport
