METHODS OF THE EFFICIENCY INCREASING OF PASSENGER CARRIAGE WITH URBAN ROUTED TRANSPORT
The urgency of the research problem is driven by the social importance of urban passenger traffic, the need to increase self-sufficiency and to reduce the size of subsidies for urban passenger carriage on the one hand, and the requirements of improving the quality of passenger service on the other hand.The purpose of the article is the justification and development of management practices aimed at improving self-sufficiency and quality of passenger urban routed transport service based on the optimization of the capacity and distribution of vehicles on routes with the help of minimizing the unit costs caused by suboptimal usage.Leading method used for the study is mathematical modeling of passengers routed transportation, which allows to identify cost reduction reserves for the organization and execution of carriages and to improve the quality of provided services.The dependence for determining the optimal values of passenger vehicle capacity for a unit qоpt with respect to daily traffic flow variability was derived in previous studies. The technique determining the optimum standard size and models of vehicle to work on routes and forming transport company vehicle fleet on the basis of the optimalstructure is given for routes, based on the criterion of minimum losses caused by non-optimal occupancy vehicles working on the routes for a specific time period (hour, shift, day). The method also allows to distribute the fleet of technically serviceable vehicle available to carrier for following the routes providing minimum losses due to their sub-optimal number and structure.The article can be useful for solving many problems of organization and management of urban routed passenger transport traffic, its use in practice allows to obtain the optimum capacity values, the required number of types and models of vehicles and headways.
