Abstract

It is proposed to consider the efficiency of the operation of transport-transfer stations in terms of the effect of resource provision of stop points on the duration of the stay of passengers in them. Based on the principles of stabilizing the work of urban public passenger transport and the conditions for sustainable development of the urban environment, the structure of the contour connection of technological solutions is identified. The functional task is ensuring the level of organization aimed at maximizing the service-resource potential of routes and neutralizing the negative consequences of the work of transport and transfer units. The presented connection is based on taking into account the multilevel representation of the results of the work of the elements of transport and transfer stations on the service-resource potential of urban public passenger transport routes and the social sphere of the urban environment. The proposed communication allows to substantiate the general form and structure of the criterion for assessing the efficiency of transport-transfer stations. The presented efficiency criterion takes into account the limitations of the influence of the operation organization of stop stations on the time of the passengers' movement through the TTS, the quality of traffic on the adjacent section of the road network and the urban environment.

On the basis of experimental studies, the characteristic dependence of the influence of the resource supply of stop points on the efficiency of their operation has been established. The obtained form of the function of the influence of resource provision of stopping points on the duration of dwell time of vehicles in the queue, the level of blocking of the roadway of the road network and the environment has an exponential dependence. For the selected stopping point it is established that the acceptable level from the point of view of providing service quality is the reserve capacity level in the range of 0.1–0.4. With an increase in the reserve capacity from 0.1 to 0.4:

  • the average total dwell time of vehicles is reduced by 1.6 times (from 3.9 minutes to 2.4 minutes);
  • the average dwell time in the queue is reduced by 5.7 times (from 0.4 minutes to 0.07 minutes);
  • the specific weight blocking the roadway is reduced by 3.6 times (from 0.65 to 0.18).

The obtained dependences allow to establish the allowable values of the reserve provision parameters for the stopping points of the transport and transfer stations. Based on the presented methodology for assessing the efficiency of transport-transshipment stations, it is possible to evaluate the feasibility of implementing optimization management measures aimed at streamlining the arrival of vehicles at stop points.
