Faletska G. Passenger's paths choice in main cities

This dissertation is dedicated to finding of consistent patterns in passenger's path choice in main cities. With this goal for an integral characteristic of alternative passenger's paths of movement we can use generalized cost of movement as a total sum for valuation of time spent. Revenue decline of passengers as a result of transport fatigability and level of full fare. When finding alternative ways we took into consideration possibility of passengers to choose the start (finish) point of the movement and accounted for different versions of the pedestrian component and trip by public transport. By processing questionnaires we have defined that correspondence allocation is most adequately described with estimating function of nonlinear elasticity. We estimated the significance of the selection criteria of passengers path of movement. As a result, we found that the importance of the criteria is not constant and depends on the social-economic conditions of the population, options of transport services and level of tariffs for the use of city public transport. We found that the change in the standard of living of the population leads to a redistribution of correspondence between alternative ways of transportation. This is due to the change of the significance of selection criteria in accordance with income grow passengers tend to movements in more comfortable conditions in the shortest time, at the same time importance of the value of the use of city public transport tariffs decreases.
