Samchuk G. Efficiency improvement of the transfer nodes functioning of ground urban passenger transport

The object of the study is the process of transfer nodes functioning of ground urban passenger transport (UPT). The purpose of the study is to increase the efficiency of the interaction of UPT subjects of at transfer nodes. The methods of analysis were used to develop theoretical foundations for the transfer nodes functioning, and the system approach and methods of mathematical modeling were used to formalize the object of the study. While developing the model of the research object, methods of simulation were used. To substantiate the distribution laws of the dwell time of UPT vehicles at stopping points at transfer nodes and the travel time the theory of mathematical statistics was used. The methods of regression analysis have been applied to establish the relationship between the time parameters of the interaction between UPT at transfer nodes and the efficiency criterion of the transfer nodes functioning. The scientific novelty of the obtained results is in the presented scientifically grounded approach to the efficiency improvement of the transfer nodes functioning through the coordination of the interaction of urban passenger transport (UPT) from a perspective of ensuring the rational socio-economic and environmentally safe parameters of the technological process implementation. For the first time on the basis of the proposed criterion, which, unlike existing ones, takes into account the environmental and social constraints, it was obtained the regularities of the influence of the schedule synchronization parameters and the dwell time of UPT vehicles at stopping points on the efficiency of the transfer nodes functioning. It was improved an approach to the schedule harmonization of UPT based on the coordination of the vehicle's arrival at transfer nodes, which, unlike existing ones, takes into account the random character of the vehicles dwell-time at stopping points at transfer nodes. The approach to synchronizing the timetables of vehicles at transfer nodes, based on searching the rational values of the departure time of vehicles from the initial stopping point was further developed. The practical significance of the obtained results is a methodology for the schedules synchronization of public passenger transport at transfer nodes and the motion optimization of vehicles on the elements of the city’s transport network. .
