Systematic approach to the choice of rational variant of development of urban passenger transportations

The purpose. Development of a methodological approach to the choice of a rational variant of urban passenger transport in the context of sustainable development, taking into account the advantages and disadvantages of each type of urban passenger transport. Methods. To solve the problems of this class in the work proposed to apply a systematic approach, methods of rational problem solving and strategic planning for a particular scenario. Results. To solve the problem of optimal development of transport in large cities to apply an economic criterion that would take into account the largest number of factors which adequately describe the behavior of the model of reform. Evaluate all the above factors in the same work is very difficult, so the authors have made an attempt to develop a common scientific approach to solving this problem and at the same time to develop methods for evaluating the costs of combating damage to the environment, the health of residents of the city and on the Compensation technology plugs. Scientific novelty. In this paper we developed a general indicator of evaluating the effectiveness of urban passenger transport, based on a combination of factors that characterize: the cost-effectiveness of urban transport, considering the amount of investment for the maintenance and development of transport infrastructure; man-made environment posed by transport in the city; damage each type of sediment transport environment and society. The proposed indicator provides objectively compare the effectiveness of passenger traffic for each mode separately. The practical significance. Allowance for this summary measure evaluating the effectiveness of urban passenger transport will allow the city executive authorities to take evidence-based decisions on the development of passenger transport of large cities in the future.
