ЗАПРОВАДЖЕННЯ НАЦІОНАЛЬНОЇ СИСТЕМИ ОБЛІКУ ДОВЖИНИ АВТОМОБІЛЬНИХ ДОРІГ В ОДНОСМУГОВОМУ ОБЧИСЛЕННІ

Introduction. The use of geographical spatial data of the public road network has led to the question of the feasibility of applying existing methods of road length accounting and the need to introduce single-lane road length accounting. Problem statement. The search for alternative ways to account for the length of a road calls for improving the principles of forming road titles, which have certain solutions for accounting for sections with more than one lane in each direction and establishing the lengths of traffic interchanges, additional lanes on ascents, external and internal transitional high-speed lanes, dedicated (channelized) lanes, etc. Objective. To improve the system of accounting for the length of public roads of national importance. Materials and methods. The principles of road titling introduced in [1] have certain solutions for accounting for sections with more than 1 lane in each direction and establishing the lengths of traffic interchanges, which were rational at the time of adoption, but without further improvement may be ineffective and increasingly lead to contradictions. The need to introduce the term "length of a public road in single-lane calculation" is due to the fact that there are fundamental differences between the lengths of roads approved by the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine "On Approval of the List of Public Roads of National Importance" of December 15, 2023 No. 1318 [2] and the actual length (area) of lanes subject to repair and maintenance, since the road may have a different number of main lanes along its length, additional lanes on ascents, external and internal transitional high-speed lanes, dedicated (channelized) lanes, and exits may have several lanes in one direction.

Energy-Saving Thermal Stabilization System and Assessment of Temperature Loadings of a Bridge Deck Pavement

To improve the general traffic safety in conditions of winter ice at traffic interchanges and to extend the overall service life of the roadway, it is proposed to use energy-saving thermal stabilization of a bridge deck pavement by transferring the low-temperature geothermal energy by heat pumps. The practical and computational parts of the pilot plant work are demonstrated and discussed. In order to analyze the need to use additional thermal joints, computer simulation was performed in the LIRA-CAD-2018 software package with subsequent extrapolation to a real bridge span.

МОДЕЛЮВАННЯ ОПТИМІЗАЦІЇ МІСЬКОЇ ТРАНСПОРТНОЇ МЕРЕЖІ В ІНТЕГРОВАНИХ ТРАНСПОРТНИХ СИСТЕМАХ

Abstract In world practice, one of the main features of integrated transport systems, is the delivery of goods "door-to-door", which is impossible without the road transport is being used at the final stage of transportation. Today, the situation on the Ukrainian roads has a negative trend in terms of traffic jams and accidents, which creates a risk of delay or damage to freight during the transportation process. The problem is how to optimize the urban transport network to meet the growing demand for transportation and reduce traffic congestion. Purpose. Investigate the root causes of traffic congestion and develop a tool in order to optimize the city network on the example of a traffic interchange. Analytical and experimental with the use of computer 3D-simulation. For a practical demonstration, a model of one of the most problematic, from the point of view of traffic jams, transport interchanges in Kyiv, was developed. An optimization experiment was conducted, which demonstrated an increase in interchange capacity by 26,2% and reduction in average transportation time by 60, 47%. It is a difficult task to optimizing the transport network, because if you conduct an experiment with a real system, any changes could be catastrophic. In addition, it is necessary to anticipate the growth of traffic, take into account the economic, territorial and industrial characteristics of settlements. The research clearly demonstrates the possibilities of simulation computer modeling in this aspect. The purposed solution allows to optimize the city transport network without significant investment, and could reduce the risk of accidents, financial and time costs for transportation of goods by city in the global aspect. Keywords: freight transport, intersections, integrated transport systems, urban transport network, optimization, imitation modeling.

Analysis and hygienic evaluation of noise burden in public education organizations in Saransk

Background . Noise pollution is a burden exerting a harmful and irritating effect on human health. Children are particularly sensitive to noise burden. In this connection, it is especially important to control the noise pollution level in public education organizations where children spend significant time. Objective . The study is aimed at determining objective and subjective parameters of noise pollution in public education organizations based on the analysis of data obtained by measuring noise levels in school campuses in Saransk and directly in classrooms, as well as by questioning the teachers of these schools. Methods . The measurement of noise burden was carried out in 10 schools using the noise and vibration level meter “Assistant” with class I accuracy. Noise measurements in school campuses and classrooms were performed in accordance with the GOST 23337-2014 requirements. Assessment of results was conducted in accordance with sanitary standards 2.2.4/2.1.8.562-96 “Noise in the workplace, residential and public buildings and housing developments”. Results . Based on noise measurement results, the highest noise levels were found in school № 2 (65.5 dBА on the campus, 51.2 dBA in the classroom) which is located in the center of a traffic interchange. The lowest noise parameters were found in school № 35 (45.2 dBА on the campus, 37.7 dBА in the classroom) which is located in the residential quarter quite far away (242-321 m) from the main source of noise, the motorway. Conclusion . Study results attest that maximum noise levels at school campuses do not exceed the permissible exposure limit of 70 dBA. In all schools noise values conform to the noise standards (maximum sound pressure level in classrooms did not exceed 55 dBA).

Assess of contamination of the snow cover for detecting the zones of inhalation chemical risk

Introduction. On the territory with a resistant snow cover, atmospheric pollution accumulates over several months; solid precipitation in the form of snow is an indicator object for assessing the state of the urban environment. Materials and methods. The sampling of snow was carried out on trial plots close to the monitoring points of atmospheric air and reflecting the influence of various stationary and mobile sources of pollution. The methods of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and the atomic absorption spectrometry were used. Results. The results were obtained on the content of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and heavy metals in snow cover to identify risk zones in the city of Ulan-Ude of the Republic of Buryatiya. The widest range of metals is recorded at points located near a major traffic interchange and in a residential area near the low-rise buildings of the private sector. The determined PAHs in large quantities were established to be contained in the solid sediment of snow samples. Discussion. Snow cover is a depositing and transit component of the environment. Its study gives important information about the chemical state of industrial ecosystems. About 30 thousand tons of chemical impurities enter the air basin of Ulan-Ude from stationary sources per year. Emissions of the total amount of hydrocarbons averaged of 1,741.96 tons over the study period, soot - 822.41 tons, which is by tens and hundreds times higher than that of other toxic substances, therefore, the PAH content in snow samples is higher than that of heavy metals. Conclusion. The accumulation of chemicals of 13 priority PAHs, of which 60-80% of the total amount falls on 3-,4- nuclear counterparts (phenanthrene, anthracene, fluoranthene, pyrene, benzo(a)anthracene, chrysene) occurs in accumulating media. PAHs are associated with water-insoluble (solid phase) PAHs, which indicates to the unity of the main source of pollution (vehicle exhaust gases).

THE IMPACT ANALYSIS OF THE NOISE SCREENS ON THE EXAMPLE OF A TRANSPORT INTERCHANGE IN THE CITY OF OMSK

Introduction. Noise pollution is one of the three most significant environmental disruptions in the world. In urban areas, the main source of noise is road transport, which accounts up to 80% of all noise. Noise protection measures are an integral part of the design both at the feasibility study stage and during a project development. In the conditions of cramped urban development, high density of the road network and the shortage of free territories, it is more appropriate to use noise protection structures in the form of roadside noise (acoustic) screens - vertical walls that are installed as close as possible to the highway. However, as the experience has shown, in operating conditions, noise screens do not always fully fulfill their protective function. This article presents a critical analysis of the effectiveness of the noise screens installation on the example of a traffic interchange on 15th Rabochaia in Omsk.Materials and methods. The evaluation of the effectiveness of the design solutions for the installation of noise screens and the execution of these solutions was carried out with two methods. The first method is calculating. The calculation of the noise impact from the traffic flow on the residential development was carried out according to the methodology of ODM 218.2.013-2011 the Guidelines for the protection from traffic noise of territories adjacent to the roads. To perform the calculations, the content and intensity of the movement of transport at each section of the interchange was determined. The geometric parameters on the object are set. The second method is experimental. To confirm the calculation results, the full-scale measurements of the noise level at nine points at the indicated interchange were carried out.Results.Based on the results of the calculation it was concluded that the current noise protection structures do not fully fulfill their function. A residential development in the area under consideration is located in the noise discomfort zone. The results of field measurements are confirmed by calculated data. The article gives recommendations for correcting the shortcomings made in the design and construction of the noise screens.Conclusion. Considering the results of the research presented in this article and published earlier, it is advisable to consider the reconstruction of the transport interchange on 15th Rabochaia street in Omsk.Financial transparency: the authors have no financial interest in the presented materials or methods.

Analisis Kinerja Rencana Bundaran dengan Pendekatan Simulasi Mikro

Urban road network typically consists of many intersections which commonly lead to traffic problems. In relatively low traffic, a simple priority intersection will be sufficient and lead no traffic problem without necessarily implement traffic lights, roundabout or others. In an urban area where traffic demands are high, intersections need to be treated with an accurate traffic engineering approach. There are many different approaches to reduce the traffic problem in intersection including traffic light, roundabout, or interchange. Cimahpar Raya street and Indobaso intersections are urban areas in Bogor city with the high demand for transportation and often having a congestion problem in peak hour. The Office of Public Works and Spatial Planning (PUPR) of Bogor city plans to develop and change the Indobaso intersection to be a roundabout, while also increasing the lane width of the approaching roads. This study was conducted to assess the performance changes of the Indobaso intersection improvement by developing a traffic model of the intersection. The planned roundabout and lane width improvement significantly reduce the traffic delays by 90,07%, reduce travel time by 51,76%, improve average speed by 83,77%, and reduce the traffic density by 88,54% compared to the current condition of the intersection which lacks required lane road width and maneuver area.Key words: urban road, intersection, traffic model

Modeling of regulation of the transport flow at the entrance on the bridge in the any logic environment

The object of research of this work is the traffic flow and its parameters in a critical, in terms of traffic congestion, area of the city, namely at the entrance to the bridge that connects the right and left banks of the Dnipro River (Dnipro, Ukraine). A problem arising in the formation of traffic flows to the bridge is the occurrence of congestion due to the physical limitation of the carrying capacity of the bridge. The peculiarity of the traffic interchange near the bridge is that it is impossible to expand the roadway to increase the traffic capacity without a major overhaul. In addition, the surrounding infrastructure maintains an intense pedestrian flow, which is wedged into the traffic flow in arbitrary locations, which leads to a breakdown of the flow structure or its stopping. There are also several additional factors that complicate the flow structure and delay it. The solution that can improve the situation at the lowest cost is the introduction of automatic regulation of traffic and pedestrian traffic in critical places.To determine the regulation points and their modes of operation, an analysis of the transport environment in the area of entry to the bridge was carried out using field research. The modeling of traffic flows was carried out using the software package and the mode of operation of the traffic light was chosen.Statistics were obtained regarding traffic flows along adjacent streets and the traffic flow was schematized. The location of the traffic light and the time intervals of its work, which allow to minimize congestion on adjacent streets and increase the speed of travel, have been determined.A special feature of the study was the use of the powerful AnyLogic package for modeling, which contains a specialized module for working with traffic flows. Its application made it possible to create a movement model and conduct a series of experiments, according to the results of which time intervals of regulation were obtained.

Assessment of noise parameters in elements of urban transport infrastructure

The paper considers urban road network in combination with elements of transport infrastructure which are presented as noise sources. Acoustic analysis of the level of noise produced by transport accounts only railway track spans and highways as linear sources of noise. Within the study road network elements and objects of transport infrastructure were classified; traffic interchanges and objects of transport infrastructure were presented as spatial noise source, which provides relevance of this study. The purpose of the research is development of methods for analyzing noise parameters of road networks and objects of transport infrastructure, as well as analysis of noise level in the residential territories caused by the combination of linear and spatial noise sources. The results of analysis and measurements demonstrate that evaluation of noise level caused by transport of the near-highway territory without the account of traffic interchanges as spatial noise sources leads to downward bias of noise level up to 10 dBA.

PLANNING OF RESTAURANT BUSINESS ACTIVITIES TAKING INTO ACCOUNT MARKET TRENDS

The lack of systematic planning has been more perceptible in recent years with the intensification of competition in all sectors of economy and it is particularly evident in restaurant business. The availability of a detailed plan allows to stimulate restaurant business, attract foreign capital, expand the range of partners and resources. Along with this, action plan appears as an instruction that determines the procedure: it provides timely control of conceptual direction of the development of restaurant service enterprise, correction of goals, optimization of business management process in accordance with the projected performance results.In order to identify these needs as the basis for further planning of restaurant service enterprise we can use the methods of sociological and marketing research, among which surveys and interviewing tools are the most available ones, as well as special digests devoted to reviewing the main market trends.2016 became a year of recovery for restaurant market; for the first time since the crisis began more restaurants were opened than closed in the country. The positive dynamics continued in 2017: the number of restaurants as well as their attendance have increased. 2017 was also marked by the investment intensification in the development of restaurant business which focused mainly on scaling projects. This trend will also continue in 2018. At the same time, in 2018, operators of restaurant market will experience a shortage of premises suitable for opening an institution in city centers and near convenient traffic interchanges in micro-districts. Experts predict a more active development of restaurant networks in average price segment with average check of 200-350 UAH for Kyiv and 100-200 UAH for the regions. Representatives of a middle class are willing to spend such a sum 1-2 times a week on eating out.Modern realities require the formation of internal action planning system taking into account current and strategic goals which are formed as a result of trends’ analysis of changes in external market environment. The presence of a well-designed and well thought-out plan allows to actively develop an enterprise in such a highly competitive sector as public catering as well as to attract investors, partners and credit resources. In proportion with the implementation and change of circumstances the plan can be specified by adjusting the relevant indices. At the same time prediction of changing circumstances is also carried out by forecasting and adjusting which makes the system of analysis, planning, forecasting and adjustment an inextricable and interdependent process.The most important prerequisite for strategic planning for enterprises in the sphere of restaurant business is the development of a service component driven by the transition to a post-industrial economy of free market relations as well as an orientation towards the continuous improvement of the planning system.

A Cooperative Positioning Service for Multi-Modal Public Transit Situations

A better understanding of passenger movement in multi-modal transit situations is the major aim of this study. By using a novel Cooperative Positioning (CP) approach, algorithms can be generated which considerably increase the accuracy of person tracking. Smooth transit at stations is enabled, thus the total waiting time for routing at the traffic interchange is reduced. A Location-Based Services (LBS) user is guided by the service and located with the assistance of the whole user group. In addition to the technological developments, the acceptance and end-user needs are considered. End-users of such a service have the right to withdraw their consent for transferring location-based and other personal data at any time. They also receive clear and comprehensive information about when and why they reveal their personal data and location and its further use. In this paper, the concept is introduced followed by a comprehensive discussion of the suitable CP localisation techniques as well as an implementation strategy. Furthermore, ethical and usability aspects are discussed to ensure user-friendly results.

Development of an Intelligent System of Determinating the Coordinates and the Speed of the Train

Abstract Dynamic development of the country’s transport system leads to the increase of the length of highways, traffic interchange, including places of crossing with the railway. Notification time for crossing is determined by the maximum speed of the train, which is a significant disadvantage of the automatic crossing signaling. In reality the train speed is less than the estimated one, so the idles at transport intersection (crossing) reach 30-30 minutes, creating not only inconveniences to vehicle traffic, but also unfavorable environmental conditions. In the development of intellectual control system automatic crossing signaling there is applied the principles patterns recognition with lots of informative features and decisive functions with the procedure of “learning” the decisive function “teacher”.
