SIMETRA experts will help develop a public transport network in Krasnodar

2022

Development of a planning document for the regular transportation of passengers and the social standard for transport services of the population

On June 6, 2022, SIMETRA announced that its specialists, commissioned by the Krasnodar administration, are developing a planning document for regular passenger transportation in the city and a social standard for transport services for the population. The first results of the study will be announced in June, the company will complete the final calculations by September.

According to the results of the study, the city will have an economically feasible program for the development of the route network and the transition to an updated model of organizing the transport system. One of the tasks of the model is to gradually switch to a network of municipal routes served by large buses that are comfortable for city residents.

'We are engaged in updating the city's transport macro model based on surveys conducted in the spring of 2022. The model has improved zoning, expanded the statistical base, and takes into account the changes in the city that have occurred in recent years. The next stage is the preparation of a planning document for regular transportation until 2026. Our work will help to update the network of municipal routes and launch the process of transferring Krasnodar public transport to regulated fares according to a scheme that will make it more profitable for both passengers and the city, ' says Vladimir Valdin, Director of Public Transportation Solutions at SIMETRA

The document will provide recommendations for optimizing the operation of passenger transport. Among them: reducing travel time, reducing the cost of passengers to move around the city, ensuring the proper level of travel safety.

The document will be based on extensive field and sociological studies, an analysis of the state of infrastructure and rolling stock of transport, as well as mathematical calculations carried out using transport modeling tools.

Both carriers and residents of Krasnodar are involved in the development of the planning document. Thanks to the news portal, they can monitor the progress of work, participate in opinion polls and make their proposals. SIMETRA specialists study the information obtained, comparing it with the results of detailed analysis of the initial data obtained in the city administration. A large array of information is used, which has become available thanks to one of the most representative electronic fare payment systems in Russia.

'As a result of a scientific study of the transport system of the city, we will get an algorithm for optimizing and developing public transport in Krasnodar based on calculations, including a program of changes on specific routes, calculating the need for rolling stock and an algorithm for choosing the operating mode of all types of transport. Recommendations for the development of the route network will be aimed at making a developing city with a heavy load on transport arteries comfortable for all segments of the population. " notes Vladimir Arkhipov, Director of the Department of Transport and Road Facilities of the Administration of the Municipality of Krasnodar

Launch of the information portal on the program for the development of public transport in Krasnodar

The company SIMETRA together Administration of Krasnodar with launched information a portal that promptly describes the development of a program for improving the public system transport. Krasnodar This was announced by SIMETRA on April 06, 2022. Residents of the city observe the entire progress of the project, quickly learn news the current situation, and share their proposals for specific events in its composition.

At the beginning of April 2022, SIMETRA is developing a planning document for regular transportation by all types of public transport in the capital of the Krasnodar Territory. As a result, the city received a program for the development of the route network and the transition to an updated system for organizing passenger transport services, including economic justification and calculation of the cost of its establishment and subsequent operation.

SIMETRA has a policy of openness in transport projects, taking into account the interests and opinions of all parties. Therefore, it was important for us that the townspeople see the progress of the project and the decisions made. Each resident of Krasnodar can send his proposals, comments and comments on the work of urban passenger transport to the working group. At the beginning of April 2022, a survey of city residents on the quality of the transport system of Krasnodar was launched, and the first meeting of the project participants took place, at which a working group was formed, says Vladimir Valdin, Director of Public Transport Solutions at SIMETRA.

Focusing on the results of research and mathematical calculations, SIMETRA has proposed an updated network of municipal routes, which allows you to replace a large number of small commercial buses with a network of large modern low-floor buses. The calculations were made using current software solutions in the field of transport modeling of Russian and foreign production.

The basis for the study will be data obtained from the analysis of revenue collection, the results of field surveys on routes and stops, information from city documents of socio-economic development, taking into account the activities of the new General Plan of the municipality.

At the beginning of April 2022, the first stage of work was 60% completed - the collection of initial data, as well as field and sociological research. In active development, stage number two is an analysis of the initial data and the current state of the transport system, as well as the third stage of the project, within the framework of which the transport macro model of the city of Krasnodar is being updated.

Start of public transport research

The company SIMETRA on March 16, 2022 announced the start transport of a public commissioned study. As Administration of Krasnodar a result, the city will receive a program of transition to another system of organizing transport services with economic calculation of cost and operation. This will allow the transfer of public transport to Krasnodar regulated tariffs with the transition to gross contracts. The first results of the study will be presented in June, the final calculations will be ready by September.

Based on the survey and mathematical calculations, SIMETRA will propose an updated network of municipal routes, which will allow replacing a large number of small commercial buses (minibuses) with a network of large low-floor buses convenient for all segments of the population.

The basis for the study will be data obtained as a result of on-board validations, the results of field surveys at routes and stops, as well as information from city documents of socio-economic development. The calculations will be carried out using software solutions in the field of transport modeling of Russian and foreign production.

Krasnodar is developing very dynamically: there is a large number of buildings, which covers not only urban areas, but also sections of rural settlements. The city is promising: more and more citizens of the Russian Federation come here every year, all this leads to the fact that the load on transport is growing exponentially, "said Vladimir Valdin, director of public transport solutions at SIMETRA. - As a result of a comprehensive study, the mayor's office will receive a planning document for regular passenger transportation in Krasnodar and a plan for a step-by-step transition to an updated system for organizing transport services, which will be based on accurate calculations.

The document will spell out the number of required rolling stock, describe the routes, the most effective mode of operation of transport, recommendations for optimizing and developing the existing route network.

It is impossible to create a program of large-scale transformation directly related to all road users, without systematic forecasting and modeling work, without careful economic justification and calculation of the cost of commissioning and operating a new transport system. This research work will be carried out by Simetra, which won the open competition, the Krasnodar administration noted.
