Improving the Technology of Suburban Passenger Transportation in the Ukraine Competitive Transport Market

Abstract

This article highlights the main problems of the suburban passenger complex. Authors propose measures to improve the technology of organizing suburban transportation depending on the movement interval and distance of passenger transportation on the railways of Ukraine. The problems of the passenger suburban complex require the search for new ways of increasing the efficiency of suburban passenger rail transportation in modern conditions. Suburban passenger trains follow short, medium and long distances. In order to improve the number of people in trains of suburban electric multi-units (EMUs), it is necessary to predict their possible maximum number of people with different options for planning threads on the train schedule and the characteristics of these trains. In peak periods, it is suggested to first lay trains that follow short distances, and then to longer ones. With this method of routing trains on the traffic schedule, passengers of nearby zones fill not trains that follow to long-distance zones. This leads to the improvement of travel conditions for passengers in long-distance zones. During periods of decline in passenger traffic, it is proposed to use a zonal non-parallel schedule of train traffic, while it is necessary to first lay trains that follow long distances, and then short ones. The determined regularities of the departure of short- and medium-distance suburban trains are used to assess the effectiveness of the pendulum schedule of trains in suburban traffic.
