Operational reliability of types of public transport of the city of Ternopil

Abstract

The problem of forming the rolling stock of urban public transport is one of the most important components of the infrastructure of the modern city. Despite the significant growth of motorization in our country recently, public transport still remains the main means of transportation within the city. Given the economic and political situation in Ukraine today, we can conclude that in the future the trend in passenger traffic by public transport will grow.

The article examines the formation of the public transport system of urban agglomerations and evaluates them from the standpoint of cost of operation and reliability. It is determined that the management of the public transport system is a complex and long-term process, which should be formed on the basis of determining the needs of the city population in public transport. The daily passenger turnover of public transport in the city of Ternopil is analyzed, the public transport of the city is analyzed by ownership structure, namely, communal and private enterprises, the city is provided with trolleybuses and minibuses.

The article examines the average operating speed of minibuses and trolleybuses. Also the general characteristic of a rolling stock of public transport of Ternopil is given, its average age, service life, length of a contact network is described.The article proves that the system of urban passenger transport should provide quality passenger service at minimum cost, minimum travel time, ensure the regularity of vehicles on the route, as well as optimal use of rolling stock.

The article presents a system for assessing the current state of public transport rolling stock, based on objective and subjective indicators that characterize the provision of passengers with the required number of vehicles and the number of routes, as well as the technical condition of vehicles.

Key words: public transport, cost of operation, reliability, rolling stock, passenger turnover, ownership structure.
