Model of Transport System Optimization in Kyiv (Ukraine)

Abstract

Kyiv is a capital city of Ukraine having a developed transport infrastructure, which consists of the airports, railways, highways, waterways and bridges. In addition, Kyiv has a developed system of urban and suburban passenger transport. Subway, trams, buses, trolleybuses and other modes of transport carry thousands of passengers every day, mostly to the places of work or study from large sleeping areas on the outskirts of the city to the industrial downtown. However, unfortunately, the transport system of the city of Kyiv cannot be called ideal. Poor road conditions on most highways, underdeveloped subways and low capacity of many important roads lead to considerable congestion during rush hour. That’s why, new project for the development of transport system of Kyiv, namely the subway, highway connection to other cities of Ukraine and helping to reduce traffic by constructing the detour road for transit transport, has been proposed in the article. The main aim of the project on transport system of Kyiv optimization is to overcome the problem of overcrowded vehicles during rush hour.
