Environmental-economic approach to optimization of transport communication in megacities

Abstract

The paper presents the results of the study on the transport systems in metropolises by stating the interdisciplinary problems and prospects of applying the environmental and economic approach to the optimization of transport communication in megacities. The main problems of transport communications in large cities have been considered. The world experience in managing transport systems is analyzed. Priority directions for the implementation of environmental and economic tasks of transport industry management using the economic and mathematical approach have been established. It has been established that the performance indicators of the functioning of the megalopolis transport system depend on the work of the service provider. The most effective solution is to ensure that vehicles are working properly, that the vehicles are fully loaded and that they are on schedule. Performance indicators of the functioning of the megalopolis transport system on the part of the consumer of services: the coefficient of determination was 0.9493, the static probability p = 0.2067 standard deviation was 7.9428, the variance did not exceed 0.1015. The correlation of actual and planned results exceeded r²>0.7051; and was described by the equation y = 1.6746 + 0.844x. Logistic models for performance improvement of the transportation system were offered.
