Methods of Rational Allocation of Buses on Routes of Local Traffic

The article deals with a number of problems related to the development of urban transport, the problems of transport system management, which are one of the main components of urban infrastructure that provides vital needs of the population. In particular, one of the main tasks of urban bus transport management was to find ways to solve the problems associated with the need to accurately determine the passenger flow and its distribution by time of day to create optimal routes for buses. Since the optimal solution of such issues will reduce the downtime of buses, improve the efficiency of rolling stock, as well as optimally plan transportation, increase the productivity of buses, reduce the number of rolling stock included in the route, which in turn will save material resources of the fleet. In accordance with the purpose of the study, it was envisaged to create a mathematical model for solving the routing problem associated with the nature of the spread of passenger and transport flows in the city, taking into account the specifics of passenger traffic.
