Abstract

The article deals with the influence of the infrastructure for public transport on the delay time of private and public transport in the city. The study employed the methods of simulation, mathematical modeling and field research. Imitation microscopic modeling determined the parameters of mathematical models of the delay time of private and public transport for various parameters of the bus lane, the length of the bus stop loading area, and its distance from the signalized intersection. Calculations determined the total delay time, taking into account the number of passengers in public and private transport on the section of the main street of regulated traffic. Determining the optimum parameters of the public transport infrastructure requires considering not only public transport passengers, but also drivers and passengers of private vehicles. Over-improving parameters of the bus lane has no effect on public transport, but traffic parameters for all other road users degrade. At high traffic intensity, the dependences of the total delay time on the length of the marking lines 1.11 and 1.5 are described by the parabola equation. The values for a road with three lanes have been determined, marking lines 1.11 and 1.5 at which the total delay time is minimal. For a highway with a high intensity, minimum bus stop parameters lead to significant increases in delay time.

Highlights

  • It is hard to imagine a modern city without sustainable population mobility

  • Despite a significant decrease in population mobility in 2020 during the period of restrictions due to coronavirus/COVID-19 [1,2], experts predict a gradual recovery in transport demand

  • The quality of transport services increased for users of private and public transport and deteriorated for pedestrians

Summary

Introduction

It is hard to imagine a modern city without sustainable population mobility. The policy in the field of transport in Russian cities was of a catch-up nature and consisted of the construction of new highways, transport interchanges, tunnels, underground or elevated pedestrian crossings [3]. The quality of transport services increased for users of private and public transport and deteriorated for pedestrians. In large cities of the world, sustainable mobility is achieved through the development of infrastructure and rolling stock of public transport, car and bicycle rental services, the creation of bike lanes and infrastructure for pedestrians [4,5]. To ensure sustainable urban mobility, priority conditions are created for public transport and cyclists in comparison with the use of a private car [6,7]
