Abstract
The object of the study is the effect of the downtime of vehicles at stopping points on the duration of the route between passengers within the transport hub. As a controllable parameter that determines the conditions for synchronizing the presence of vehicles at stopping points and reproduces the characteristic effect on the weighted average time spent by passengers in transport hubs, the time of additional service downtime of vehicles is allocated. The simulation modeling and processing of the results obtained made it possible to establish the characteristic patterns of changes in the time spent by passengers in transport hubs for two types of routes with different volumes of passenger arrivals, the proportion of inter-route transfers and the interval of movement. It was found that for routes with scheduled arrivals more than 40 passengers and the specific gravity of inter-route transfers up to 45 %, the introduction of additional service downtime does not allow a positive effect on the duration of the stay of passengers in transport hubs. The implementation of service downtime is advisable for routes with an average volume of regular arrivals of passengers (up to 40 passengers) and a specific weight of inter-route transfers of more than 45 %. For such conditions, the regularities are described by a third-degree polynomial with the available characteristic period, which minimizes the function of the time spent by passengers. On the basis of the conducted experimental studies, it has been established that for routes with a specific gravity of a change from 45 % to 59 %, it is advisable to have a service downtime in the range of 1 minute up to 3 minutes, and for routes with a transfer rate of more than 59 % – within 2 minutes up to 5 minutes. The use of service downtime will increase the effectiveness of the synchronization of inter-route transfers in conditions of stochastic traffic and reduce the time spent by passengers in the transport interchange hub by 0.9–3.9 minutes (14–38 %) in comparison with the existing organization of interaction between the subjects of the route flow.

Summary
In modern conditions of development of urban areas, acute problems acquire the issues of ensuring high-quality and safe mobility of the population. In the conditions of stochastic arrival of vehicles to TIH, reducing the time of inter-route transfer is possible by expanding the range of their stay in the SP by introducing additional service downtime. The aim of research is to establish the characteristic effect of the duration of additional service downtime of vehicles at stopping points, the conditions for synchronization of inter-route transfers, which determine the time spent by passengers in TIH. If an additional period τ1 fw dp is added to the technological downtime of the vehicle r1fw associated with ensuring the boarding and unboarding of passengers, the time spent in TIH is extended This makes it possible to realize the simultaneous presence of the vehicle of both routes during the period τ1 fw dp during which passenger transfer routes are carried out without waiting.
