Logistic Integration and Coordination of Urban Public Transport Management

Abstract

The paper explores the issues of urban public transport development as the principal element of infrastructure of modern city, its essential social institution. The authors emphasize the importance of providing high-quality transport services in conditions of scattered public transport, technological obsolescence of vehicles, poor organisational procedures, absence of logistic integration and coordination of various means of urban transport. The paper reveals the problems in modernisation of urban passenger transport. The authors examine efficient systems of urban public transport management in different cities worldwide and classify scenarios of interaction between local government and operators in transport services market. Having analysed the system of public transport management in a largest city the authors suggest an alternative for development of the urban public transport based on logistic integration and cooperation and principles of multimodality with creation of a centre for urban public transport management to ensure efficient coordination of passenger traffic.

Method of Forming Possible Standard Transport and Logistics Schemes for Passenger Transportation on Intercity and Suburban Routes to Determine the Trip Time

“…В анализируемых публикациях (статьях) ученых, рассматриваются такие параметры качества, как время, затраты, привлекательность и др., влияющие на выбор пассажиром транспорта, представлены основные факторы, определяющие выбор пассажиром способа поездки. Учеными в работах проведен анализ прогнозирования спроса пассажира на пригородные перевозки, проанализировано качество транспортно-логистического обслуживания пассажиров и предложены альтернативы развития городского общественного транспорта на основе логистических принципов для обеспечения эффективной перевозки пассажиров [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Также в научных статьях представлен анализ факторов влияющие на качество пассажирских перевозки, предложены модели управления пассажирской транспортной системой, где органы власти должны изучать спрос населения, исследовать пассажиропотоки и разрабатывать оптимальные маршруты [7].…”

Burning Issues of Development of the Transport Network of the Largest Industrial City

“…The population of Yekaterinburg is growing rapidly, which, in turn, causes the construction of new and reconstruction of the old districts of the city. Any construction is unthinkable without the development of infrastructure, including transport [12]. The development of the city's road network lags behind the pace of housing construction, leading to collapse with the daily movement of citizens [5].…”
