Functional Model Of Public Transport Passenger Flow Analysis And Assessment

Abstract

Abstract. Problem. The operation of transport systems of a large city must ensure a continuous flow of passengers. The subway occupies a special place in the city's transport system. The constant increase in the loading of the subway not only worsens the conditions of passenger transportation, but also shortens the service life of the rolling stock and negatively affects the reliability of its operation. In the future, this may cause failures of the rolling stock, which means work failures. The main factor in the development of subway systems is passenger traffic, which determines the development of the subway network, the capacity of technical equipment, the number of vehicles, the size of depots and vehicle repair plants, and the time of repair with the least economic losses. Thus, one of the urgent tasks of the functioning of transport systems is the creation of an automated system of mass passenger service, in particular in the subway. Goal. The tasks of this study are the analysis of the subject area, the design of the information system according to the task, the selection of the necessary tools for this development, and the methods of software implementation. Analysis of passenger flows using an automated system will allow to solve many problems of design, operation, and planning of metro work, will allow to reduce the time for passenger service and optimize passenger flows. Methodology. Research methods are the methods of mass service systems. Results. The creation of a functional model will make it possible to develop a software product for the analysis and assessment of public transport passenger traffic. Originality. Practical value. The software product created on the basis of the developed functional model will enable the user not only to analyze, but also to optimize the work of both existing and future metro stations.
