Complex approach to the issue of integration of public transport and urban planning

Abstract

When planning new districts of major cities in Ukraine, it should take into account the experience of leading countries. Today in many cities of Ukraine, there are traffic jams, especially during peak hours, due to including public transport, standing on street stops, thus preventing free passage of passenger cars. It is necessary to carry out a new assessment of passenger traffic in order to discharge the main transport highways. The best option is to expand the network of subway lines and new stations will replace ground public transportation by underground, which not only ease traffic flow, but also improve the ecological situation in big cities of Ukraine.

It is advisable to use a system approach using the multi-criteria optimization method that presented in the article when creating a ground infrastructure of cities. It is also expedient a method for calculating the required number of traffic lights depending on the number of intersections proposed by the authors.

The proposed approach to the integration of public transport and urban planning provides many advantages. Territorial development management reduces the need to move, high quality public transport can easily meet the needs of the crossings. Leading role in promoting this policy plays public transport administration. Districts with realization of such integrated projects become more affordable that leads the other socio-economic benefits.
