Using Dynamic Programming Method in Passenger Flow Distribution to Optimise the Urban Infrastructure Development in the Conditions of Sustainable Development
摘要
The relevance of the set task is determined by the considerable theoretical and practical interest in solving the problems of passenger flows distribution in cities for better development of their infrastructure in the conditions of sustainable development. The study aimed to implement methodical recommendations on using the dynamic programming method in the distribution of passenger flows to optimise the development of urban infrastructure in the context of sustainable development. The methodological basis of the study was formed by the methods of system and project analysis, expert assessments, statistical analysis, comparison, prognostic methods, and the dynamic programming method was the key one. The study was carried out on the example of a city in which the urban passenger transport system is not yet sufficiently developed and is in the process of transition to the level of medium environmentalisation, namely Kyiv (Ukraine). The article characterises the passenger railway platforms for suburban connections and gradually solves the problem of finding the optimal schedule of their use. The corresponding graphs with a detailed description were constructed, the results of solving the problem were summarised and relevant practical recommendations were given. Based on scenario modelling on the example of the Kyiv-Pasazhyrskyi station, it was determined that the application of the proposed methods will reduce the distance travelled by a passenger by more than 100 m on average, and the average time of passenger movement will be reduced to 13.61 min in the best case scenario.
