METHODS OF UNLOADING STREET AND ROAD NETWORKS

Abstract

Modern cities suffer from overloading of street and road networks with traffic flows. The level of motorization is rapidly increasing, but it is becoming increasingly difficult to use individual cars in cities - time is spent in traffic jams, parking is difficult, parking spaces are limited, and accidents are increasing. The environmental situation is worsening, pollution and traffic noise have a negative impact on the health of city residents. Analyzed methods that make it possible to relieve the street and road network, make traffic safer and more convenient for both drivers and pedestrians, and the urban environment more comfortable for residents. The question of the effectiveness of the "Сarpool" system - the allocation of a special traffic lane for cars filled with passengers - was studied. With carpooling (ridesharing), fuel costs are distributed proportionally and the optimal route for all trip participants is chosen without significant deviations from the main route of the driver (car owner), in contrast to a taxi, when using which costs are paid by the passenger, and the direction of the trip is not limited to the driver and the hitchhiker , where only the driver who strictly follows his route pays.
