Abstract

The pace of development in modern cities and the continuous increase in motorization lead to the aggravation of various issues, such as the creation of rational traffic management, the allocation of parking spaces, the quality assurance of road surfaces, and the protection of the environment. Solving these problems requires «correct» systematic management, effective organization of traffic flows, and optimal planning of transportation infrastructure.

To manage the transport system and make optimal decisions in transport planning, specific systematic knowledge about the current transport situation and possible scenarios of its development are needed.

Тhe lack of a quantitative description of the transport situation significantly complicates an already challenging selection among options for the development of the urban transport system. Bridging the gap between the desired and actual outcomes can be achieved through modern planning tools and impact assessments of decisions, particularly through a unified city transport model.

As experience shows, a city transport model used to support decision-making in strategic transport planning is the optimal tool for quantitative assessment of proposed options for transport network development, their subsequent comparison, and well-founded conclusions regarding the feasibility of investments in transport infrastructure projects.

Transport models based on modern information technology represent powerful computational software systems that, based on the functional and spatial characteristics of the city combined with all available data on transport demand and supply, calculate the most probable distribution of traffic and passenger flows across the street network. These calculations then form the basis for forecasting city development and provide the necessary analytical foundation for decision-making in the development of urban transport infrastructure.

«Correct» strategic management of the city's transport system, among other things, directly affects the quality of transport services for the population and road safety.

The main advantage of transport models is that they allow experimentation not with people, but only with a computer representation of their daily behavior.
