Bura R. Improvement of minimization methods of traffic flow delays in cities with dense built-up area

The study is dedicated to improvement of minimization methods of delay in traffic flows, in particular to the reduction of time losses on the transportation of people by the sections of transport network in result of giving the priority to urban public transport in cities with dense built-up area. Field research with determination of the main paramerers of general traffic flow and also the speed of connection of urban public transport and the time of its downtime on the stopping points is carried out. Experimental research with determination of the change of the delay and the duration of passage of different (by type and length) sections of transport network considering the change of traffic intensity is carried out. In the study, the method of assessment of traffic flow indicators on different (by planning peculiarities) sections of arterial transport network is developed and used, and also the method of determination of delays in the movement of urban public transport based on geoinformational data is improved. Practical value of the results are in determination of the way of giving the priority to urban public transport in terms of optimization of general traffic flow and urban public transport movement.
