Methodical approaches to optimization activities urban passenger services

Abstract

The purpose. The work is dedicated to the development of a methodical approach to the optimization of city passenger transportations with a view to minimizing costs and improve profitability. 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. The Results. The paper presents a methodological approach that considers the optimization problem of urban passenger transport with a view to minimizing costs and improve profitability in three directions. Scientific novelty. An improved methodological approach for comparison of different types of development options simultaneously all modes of transport of the city, which, unlike the existing based on the economic results of operations of transport companies, environmental and technological consequences of their impact on the environment and the health of residents, as well as investments in update the existing transport infrastructure.
