The design of the length of the route transport stops’ landing pad on streets of the city

Abstract

An analysis of the condition and problems of stops of route transport functioning was carried out. The research used theoretical and empirical methods, mathematical modeling for creating a mathematical model of the bandwidth of stopping route transport and the final formalization of the scheme of its operation with and without maneuvering. Analyzing the places of congestion on the street network of the city of Kyiv, we came to the conclusion that one of the reasons for their formation had been insufficient organization of road transport and parking of passenger transport precisely at the locations of stops of route transport. Parameters of stops of route transport and intensity of traffic of public passenger transport have a significant influence on the capacity of city streets and roads. Increasing of the number of vehicles on the city streets, improving their specifications have required a new approach to determining the geometric dimensions of mass transit stops. On the basis of the conducted research, the sizes of the recommended calculated passenger vehicle for the design of elements of public transport stops have been proposed. It is established that when designing stops of route transport, it is necessary to consider the length and width of the calculated vehicle, which are important in determining the area of dynamic and static dimensions of vehicles in the area of the stop. An individual approach shall be taken during the designing of the bus stops on city streets that takes into account the dimensions of the passenger vehicle and allows optimizing the parameters of the boarding and boarding places and thereby reducing the time spent on the bus stop.
