Intelligent transportation systems for road users and public transport

The book consists of two chapters in accordance with the subjects under consideration. The first chapter includes a number of sections on the automation of "level of service" assessments for urban road network. At the heart of the proposed solutions for the automation of these calculations is the method of assessing the level of service, developed by American experts for highways and adapted by the authors for the city environment. The approach takes into account the features of sections of city's road network with different restrictions of vehicles speed and their movement. The second chapter is devoted to theoretical models used in the design of automated dispatching systems of pubic transport. The public transport regarded by experts as one of the main means of improving the heavy traffic situation in major cities and metropolitan areas. Therefore, it is necessary not only to increase the comfort of the salons of the vehicles, but also to improve the quality of the transportation process. It is possible by implementing modern automated dispatching systems for public transport, which considered as an integral part of the intellectual transportation system of the city.
