Managing smart-city transportation planning of “Park-and-ride” system: case of Moscow metropolitan

Abstract

Modern trends in smart city development mean the priority of technological city transport infrastructures and control systems aimed to meeting the ever-increasing demand for mobility of a rapidly growing population as well as the needs to decrease traffic congestion. The world major city urban agglomerations have already accepted the intermodal techniques for transport service development which demonstrates strong potential for improving quality of transport services and reduction of spent trip time. The article presents factors with regard to the formation of “Park-and-Ride” system as part of an urban intermodal system that offer variety of transportation options and enable people to switch from a personal car to public transport. The article provides the Model of access control to the arterial road and city street network through the interception of personal vehicles. Such Model defines the main outcomes and advantages of the “Park-and-Ride” system on the territory of wide Metropolitan areas. The researches were done collecting and analysing current data of the Moscow agglomeration pursuing technical and commercial results. The aim is to improve transport imbalance in the distribution of passenger’s mobility between different city transport modes with priority use of passenger transport. Implementation of the proposed model within the concept of smart city will generate an intelligent transport system, which will allow for traffic flows optimization as well as for contribution for sustainable urban development.
