Abstract
There are different configurations of street and road networks in cities, which is why those transportation models that determine how effectively a public transport network is operated are different. Along with this, some transport areas may have characteristic features predetermined by the density of a street network, the intensity of individual and public traffic. The special feature of the current study is determining the operational effectiveness of dedicated lanes for public transport given a significant density of the main street and road network. Significant density is characterized by its value for the distance between adjacent intersections in the range of 150‒200 m. With such planning patterns, there is a mutual influence of the conditions of individual and public transport between adjacent intersections. An increase in the distance between intersections disrupts the stability of traffic flow through its disintegration into separate groups based on the dynamic characteristics of vehicles. A characteristic feature of the proposed procedure for evaluating the operational effectiveness of dedicated lanes is that the use of a GPS monitoring system makes it possible to relatively quickly determine the areas of the network where there are the greatest delays in movement in real time. After that, attention is focused on investigating the main factors of influence and their parameters followed by modeling. The reported results would in the future contribute to devising a clear sequence of transport-related research based on a set of their methods in order to acquire representative data and define adequate patterns. An important practical result is the use of not only established normative approaches to the design of dedicated lanes, which are common for all types of street and road networks but taking into consideration the peculiarities characteristic of their individual sections.
Highlights
Given a constant increase in traffic volumes and restrictions arising from land use in cities, most streets face significant problems related to traffic flows
The results reported in [3] established that the greatest effect of the introduction of dedicated lanes could be achieved if the entire public transport network had been arranged according to that principle
The main task of the analyzed methods that justify the arrangement of the dedicated lane for public transport on sections of main streets is to determine the conditions or criteria, based on the comparison of the time spent on movement by public and individual transport
Summary
Given a constant increase in traffic volumes and restrictions arising from land use in cities, most streets face significant problems related to traffic flows (congestion, accidents, and gas pollution). World science provides a large body of research into improving the efficiency of passenger transportation in cities by giving ground public transport priority when passing sections of the transport network Such a priority can be implemented through the allocation of individual streets, dedicated lanes on main streets, ensuring stop-less passage of intersections, etc. No less important task is to increase traffic safety, as with the increase in traffic intensity caused by the increase in the level of motorization and automotive use, and the lack of development of transport infrastructure, the number of traffic accidents grows Those areas of research are relevant whose results would make it possible to determine in detail the prerequisites, algorithm, and consequences of the prioritization of public transport along the sections of the main street-road network with significant density
