Algorithm for Selecting Events to Increase the Environmental Safety of Traffic Flow

In this article, the authors consider the optimization of the route network and rolling stock to ensure environmental safety (using the city of Krasnodar as an example). To improve the environmental situation at the sites under study, an analysis was conducted and a conclusion was made that the introduction of "smart intersections" will have a positive effect: travel time will decrease, and the average speed of travel along this section will increase, due to which the amount of harmful emissions from public transport will decrease. The authors proposed an event to replace the rolling stock with electric buses, which will reduce exhaust emissions, based on the analyses and calculations made.

The authors developed an algorithm for selecting measures to improve the environmental safety of traffic flows by influencing the route network of public passenger transport.

Purpose. Optimization of the route network to ensure environmental safety (using the city of Krasnodar as an example).

Materials and methods. The article used statistical analysis, synthesis.

Results. The existing route network was analyzed, methods for improving environmental safety were studied, and measures were proposed, such as increasing the distance between stops, introducing “smart intersections” and replacing outdated rolling stock with electric buses.

Scope of application of the results: research activities to improve public transport routes to increase their efficiency and accessibility with a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions and other pollutants through the introduction of environmentally friendly vehicles.
