OPERATION AND DEVELOPMENT EFFICIENCY OF LARGE CITY AND URBAN AGGLOMERATION TRANSPORT SYSTEM: OPTIMIZATION CRITERIA, NEED FOR MULTIMODAL INTERACTION

PURPOSE. This paper deals with the development prospects of transport systems in large cities and urban agglomerations. The paper defines the key features of urban agglomeration in terms of transportation provision, identifies the differences between the transport system of the city and agglomeration. The purpose of this work is to identify the main efficiency criteria of transport system development in large cities and agglomerations in order to develop the recommendations for optimizing the trajectories of their controlled evolution. METHODS. Such methods of scientific analysis as dialectical, comparative and economic, statistical, system, system and functional, historical and genetic are used in the study together with the economic and mathematical modeling, the theory of organizational and economic systems management and the method of scientific abstraction. Their complex application allowed to ensure the reliability of the conducted research. RESULTS AND THEIR DISCUSSION. Based on the conclusions of a number of researchers dealing with the operation efficiency of urban transport systems, we have synthesized different points of view, conclusions and theoretical assumptions on the formation of urban transport system efficiency into the model of the integrated efficiency of transport system operation in a large city. The work also considers and classifies the factors that have a significant influence on the operation efficiency of the urban transport system. The author has formulated, justified and described the optimality criteria of urban agglomeration transport system development. CONCLUSIONS. Agglomeration features the presence of diverse transport networks in its composition - they are the transport systems of many communities and settlements included in the agglomeration and stochastically formed in many respects. Therefore, urban agglomerations comprise the areas with a higher degree of economic activity concentration and the areas with a lower level of capital concentration. As a consequence, the criterion of area capitalization must be taken into account as a part of the criteria for the development and managerial decision-making on laying or transformation of a highway (branch of a line) of the urban agglomeration. A consequence of this criterion is the need to form an effective graph of the transport network agglomeration in terms of ensuring the development optimality of the agglomeration as a whole.
