Regularities of City Passenger Traffic Based on Existing Inter-district Links

The study is aimed at solving the problem of creating and ensuring the conditions for optimal intensity of vehicles on the elements of the street network of cities. The basis of the work is experimental and theoretical studies of the principles of city passenger traffic and needs of city inhabitants in use of the street network. The results of a questionnaire survey of Kyiv residents regarding their commute to work are considered and analyzed, taking into account the administrative-territorial division of city territory. The survey of the population traffic in Kyiv was conducted, which revealed the principles of its traffic between the districts, the average travel distance within every district was determined, and the percentage of use of different types of vehicles was calculated as well. Such approach enables to determine the effectiveness of the use of transport links between city districts, which allows estimating the size of inter-district connections, determining the most priority and problematic traffic directions.
