Transit Routes

Issues of duplication of regular transit routes are of particular importance in the field of transport services provided to population and organisation of passenger transportation from the perspective of ensuring compliance with passengers needs for transportation and of the effects of route duplication on the technical, operational, and economic indicators of performance of these routes and the integral route network.In Russia duplication of regular routes within route networks emerged in the late 1990s – early 2000s in urban transit, other transit modes, and in interconnected transit. In the last decade, these routes have been increasingly subject to revision by local governments and executive bodies of federal constituent entities of the Russian Federation while solving transport planning problems and improving quality of transport services for the population.Evaluation of route duplication, as a rule, is carried out based on the route factor and the route duplication factor, the latter allows pairwise assessment of routes by the length of their overlapping segments.The objective of this article is to show incorrectness of the widespread technique and to present another approach that provides, in the author’s opinion, the correct interpretation of the method for determining the route duplication rate. Achieving this objective is based on methods of theoretical research in the field of organising passenger transportation.In development of this logic, the author proposed a new method for determining the route duplication factor using route adjacency factor, which considers directions and volumes of passenger origin-destination flows. Comparison of existing and proposed approaches is given using simple examples. The results of calculations have confirmed the different nature of factors and the absence of a direct relationship between the needs of passengers for transportation by public transport and the length of adjacent sections of routes. The conclusion is made about probable expediency of using the second (author’s) approach based on the route adjacency factor, which provides a correct solution to the stated transport planning problem. Besides, the possibility of using a new approach when performing diagnostics or designing route networks of different transport modes is shown both in relation to route matching and regarding their clusters and the entire route network.

The intensification of public transport in urban areas due to increased mobility at the regional and state levels, discrepancies between urban areas with the same population and the lack of statistics related to the efficiency and quality of public transport services are the main factors of our work. It is necessary to draw boundaries between the quality of services and the performance indicators of the public transport system. The quality of services is the subjective result of many intangible variables. The quality of service can be approached from four sides: from the point of view of the passenger, the performance of the vehicle, the specialized passenger transportation company, and the Government. Accessibility, comfort and convenience-these are the main indicators that should be evaluated by the population as having high ratings for the good quality of urban transport services. The tool used to collect the data is the preference survey. Keywords: service quality, public transport, evaluation, efficiency, methods, passenger, survey

Transport Mobility

The relevance of the problem is due to the lack of a method and indicators for assessing the level of transport mobility of cities. The purpose of the article is to develop a method for assessing the level of transport mobility. Currently, there are no science - based criteria for assessing the level of mobility in terms of the convenience of passengers using various types of public transport for travel. The use of the transport mobility index will contribute not only to improving the quality of passenger transport, but also to improving the level of transport services in General. The developed method for assessing the level of transport mobility will allow you to study the dynamics of changes in indicators and plan measures to improve the quality of transport services. The implementation of the proposed method will allow analyzing routes, as well as planning measures to increase the level of transport mobility and the attractiveness of public transport for passenger transportation.

Traditional Approaches

The rapid significant increase in the quality of the process of passenger transportation by Kyiv public transport can be a powerful motivation to increase the frequency of its use. However, the parameters of the desired change in the quality of urban transport remain unknown, which leads to its chaotic management. Two trends in urban passenger traffic quality research are common. The first approach deals with measuring the operating parameters of the transport system, and the second one focuses on the research of customers' opinions regarding transport services. However, none of the scientists focuses fully on the specific human behavioral responses to the quality of the city's passenger transportation service, when urban transport is opposed to a private car. Because of this, the assessment of the quality of urban passenger transport requires the development of special tools. It is already clear today that not all traditional approaches used in studies of transport behavior that depend on the quality structure may be suitable for this.

The Urban Transit Routing Problem (UTRP) involves solving a set of transit route networks, which proved to be a highly complex multi-constrained problem. In this study, a bus route network to find an efficient network to meet customer demands given information on link travel times is considered. An evolutionary optimization technique, called Genetic Algorithm is proposed to solve the UTRP. The main objective is to minimize the passenger costs where the quality of the route sets is evaluated by a set of parameters. Initial computational experiments show that the proposed algorithm performs better than the benchmark results for Mandl's problems.

The territory of the town is divided into areas: residential, industrial and recreational. Such division of the town into areas make inhabitants increasingly dependent on the transport system. In Lithuania and in other European countries the public transport is recognised as priority transport. In the towns of Lithuania, differently from other places, attention paid to it is insufficient, and the network of routes is being changed in a chaotic and unreasonable way. Modelling of Vilnius public transport was carried out with the help of VISUM software. The aim of modelling is to guarantee higher quality of living of inhabitants by modelling a public transport route network in Vilnius. A three‐level public transport network was formed: main, service and feeder routes, which facilitated rational provision of Vilnius inhabitants with the public transport services.

The study is focused on improvement of passenger transportation by rail transport, its availability, quality of related services for residents of large agglomerations. Correlation of growth in speed of movement of passengers, distance of travel, range and quality of services provided by the carrier, as well as planning of passenger traffic and spatial urban development models are considered. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of the improvement of passenger transportation by rail transport by assigning stops for long-distance passenger trains (including fast, speed and highspeed trains) in suburban areas of large agglomerations, since that aspect has not been yet sufficiently studied.It is concluded that it is necessary to continue research on transportation needs of the population of the agglomerations, to identify the features and patterns of changes in passenger traffic, emerging and redeeming in the suburban areas of the largest cities. This will allow transportation companies to better understand the transport services market, to develop and offer new transportation products to the population. That approach can increase the attractiveness of rail transport and its availability for the population of many cities thanks to a significant reduction in weighted average costs and travel time expenditures for passengers.

The approaches to assessing the quality of passenger transport services and indicators considered in scientific works, and also existing in state and international standards, are considered. A hierarchical system of indicators (ranking level) has been drawn up, which distributes the sequence of indicators of transport services. The foreign experience of organizing the work of municipal transport was taken into account, the quality of service of which is constantly monitored and as close as possible to the needs of passengers. However, a number of issues, namely: measuring the quality of transport services for the population on a digital scale, methods and methods for monitoring quality assessment, and improving it, etc., remain open. Based on the results of the preliminary study, the main indicators for assessing the quality of passenger transport were identified and grouped, both objective and dependent on the perception of the consumer, which most clearly describe the quality of the provision of passenger transport services. Almost all researchers in their works have determined that the system of general quality indicators should include the following indicators: availability, reliability, comfort, information content, safety, regularity, cost-effectiveness. But due to the importance of each of the elements of the complex indicator, it is necessary to take into account not only all the components of the quality assessment, but also, to a certain extent, their impact on the quality of the transportation process. The article analyzes the importance of each component included in the system of indicators for assessing the quality of transport services for passengers. The necessity of digital assessment of the quality of services for the transportation of passengers by city bus transport has been substantiated. The developed methodology will allow assessing the quality of passenger transportation by other types of transport. The degree of the need for quality indicators in the passenger traffic assessment system has been substantiated, which will allow evaluating the quality of passenger service not at the verbal level ("bad", "good"), but at the level of digital comparison. substantiation of the degree of need for quality indicators in the passenger traffic assessment system; considering the feasibility of each indicator with its constituent components, determining the degree of influence of each component on the quality of the provision of services for the carriage of passengers by road. For the digitalization of the assessment of the quality of transportation, the designation of the general quality indicator is adopted - Яобщ. In numerical terms, the quality indicator should tend to the maximum value, which in this study is taken as 4. For this, all indicators will be divided into separate components, the weight of which will be estimated at 0.1. A general indicator for assessing the quality of passenger transportation has been determined, which will determine the competitiveness of the enterprise, satisfy the need for a high-quality transportation process, taking into account all criteria and indicators. Thus, the assessment of the quality of passenger transportation, based on the minimum value of the coefficient, which will tend from 3.5 to 4, will determine the ability of the enterprise to carry out the transportation of passengers according to a qualitative assessment and, taking it into account, conduct tenders for the transportation of passengers.

AbstractThis paper addresses geographical contributions to public transport planning in Poland according to the newly adopted legislation: the Act of 16 December 2010 on public transport and the Regulation of 25 May 2011 on the detailed scope of sustainable development plan of public transport. The authors investigate the application of geographical approach to public transport planning on the local level and its perspectives with a special regard to a public transport plan as the main document introduced by law in order to aid local governments in organising and managing transport services of general interest. This paper also prompts geographers to pay more attention to the ongoing changes in the legislature concerning public transport and encourages them to get involved in public transport planning both in practice and through scientific research. The authors present a few examples of preliminary selected areas deprived of appropriate public transport, hence predisposed for transport of general interest.

The article reflects the most important areas of work and the contribution of scientists of the Department of Economics and Finance of the JSC “VNIIZHT” (now the scientific center “Economics of Complex Projects and Tariff Formation”) in the development of economic science in railway transport since the foundation of the department in 1944 to the present.Theoretical foundations for measuring the economic efficiency of capital investments and new technology in the national economy were created by the head of the department academician T. S. Khachaturov, and then adapted to the conditions of railway transport by the head of the department Dr. Tech. Sci., prof. A. E. Gibshman, head of the sector Dr. Econ. Sci., prof. N. N. Barkov and their followers. Issues of management accounting, analysis, planning of operating costs, calculating the cost of transportation, calculating the unit costs of measuring transport work are central to the research of the department. Under the scientific guidance of Dr. Econ. Sci., prof. A. P. Abramov in this area of research in the department has developed a large scientific school. In the development of scientific areas for economic incentives and increasing labor productivity and financial management, a great contribution was made by Dr. Econ. Sci., prof. M. M. Tolkacheva. Traditional scientific direction for the department of economics is the improvement of pricing for freight and passenger transportation, and other activities. Theoretical research and practical development since the beginning of the 70s of the last century were conducted under the leadership of Dr. Econ. Sci. A. V. Kreinin, and later — the head of the department Dr. Econ. Sci. L. A. Mazo. Since the mid-80s under the direction of Dr. Econ. Sci., prof. O. F. Miroshnichenko, the issues of the economy of passenger transportation stand out in a separate scientific direction, covering high-speed traffic, costs, marketing, tariffs, reforming the passenger complex.At present, the staff of the research center continues to conduct research in the most important areas of the economy of railway transport, which contribute to the increase in the efficiency and competitiveness of Russian Railways in the transport services market.
