Simetra has developed a transport model for the KAD-2 construction project in St. Petersburg

2024: Preparation of analytical materials for construction KAD-2

Competence Center in the field of transport flow modeling and transport planning, the SIMETRA group of companies has prepared a package of analytical materials for the project for the construction of a second ring road in St. Petersburg (KAD-2). Simetra announced this on April 11, 2024.

KAD-2 is a route for a long-distance bypass of St. Petersburg through the territory of the Leningrad Region.

SIMETRA experts have developed a multimodal transport model of St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region, taking into account, among other things, macroeconomic indicators.

Field studies were also conducted to develop the documentation. SIMETRA experts took measurements of traffic intensity at 120 points, several sociological surveys were conducted on the mobility of the population and the readiness of traffic participants to pay for travel on the new ring road - 10 thousand respondents took part in it.

Based on the transport model, experts made more than a thousand scenario calculations, each of which took an average of six hours. The entire range of work took more than one year.

Based on the results of the analysis, SIMETRA experts considered various options for passing the route, determined the optimal number and location of transport interchanges, the charging system, and tariffs. Such a comprehensive analysis made it possible to choose the most preferred option for the implementation of the KAD-2 project.

KAD-2 is a large-scale infrastructure project that will improve the connectivity of the territories of the Leningrad Region, as well as unload sections of radial highways on the approaches to the existing ring road. The construction of the KAD-2 will bring an even greater effect when communicating with another major project in St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region - the Latitudinal Highway of High-Speed ​ ​ Traffic (SHMSD), "said Elena Andreeva, Managing Partner of SIMETRA.

2021: Development of a comprehensive transport infrastructure development program

SIMETRA announced on February 2, 2021, the development of a program for the integrated development of transport infrastructure (PKRTI) of the Leningrad Region. PKRTI of the Leningrad Region for the period up to 2035, as well as the Comprehensive Scheme for Organizing Transport Services for the Population by Public Transport (KSOT) were prepared by order of the Leningrad Region Highway Administration (Lenavtodor State Public Institution).

During the development of PKRTI, SIMETRA analyzed the conditions for the development of the transport system of the Leningrad region - statistical data state and private organizations were collected, federal and regional documents of strategic, territorial and transport planning were analyzed. The team also carried out field research and created a mathematical model of the transport system of the entire Leningrad region. For this, the intensity of the transport flow at more than 300 important transport nodes was investigated.

The entire received data array was processed by the analytical system RITM3. This made it possible to digitize the entire transport system of the Leningrad region. To solve the problems of transport planning, the project also uses the PTV Visum software complex, which has proven itself in transport modeling of the largest cities in the world.

Among the targets that can be achieved with the help of measures proposed in the PCRTI by 2035: a decrease in the number of places of concentration of road accidents by 55%, a reduction in the average travel time by car by 15%, by public transport - by 13%. The share of federal and regional roads operating in congestion mode will decrease by 32%.

The program for the integrated development of transport infrastructure of the Leningrad Region is recognized as one of the best in the Russian Federation in terms of technical implementation. The program pays special attention to the decoupling of our transport problems in conjunction with the agglomeration of St. Petersburg. By creating a program within the framework of the national project "Safe and High-Quality Automobile dorogiˮ, we have prepared a set of balanced, ranked measures for the development of the Leningrad region's road network, ensuring the safety and comfortable movement of our residents, and we are starting, and on some issues we have already begun their phased implementation," said Denis Sedov, Chairman of the Committee on Road Facilities of the Leningrad Region.

Due to the social orientation of the project, it was decided to demonstrate the entire progress of the development of the PKRTI to residents of the Leningrad region. For this, a special portal was created on which residents made their proposals: some of them were taken into account when developing plans.

The creation of such a transport plan is one of the most important tasks for the further development of the Leningrad region. We are confident that the phased implementation of the proposed measures will allow working at micro and macro levels: to solve pressing issues of LO residents, be it ensuring the availability of public transport or reducing waiting times at railway crossings. The project will help integrate the transport systems of the Leningrad region and St. Petersburg, as well as form transport bypasses of large settlements. All this will undoubtedly give impetus to the emergence of additional investment opportunities, - said Vladimir Shvetsov, CEO of SIMETRA.

In total, more than 600 events were proposed within the framework of PKRTI and KSOT. They relate to the repair and reconstruction of roads, the construction of new roads and bypasses, the introduction and change of routes of the public transport network, the development of pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure, and the organization of traffic. First of all, the most "painful" issues will be resolved: the fate of the Rzhevsky landfill, which does not allow the development of the Vsevolozhsky district to a full extent, as well as the construction of the KAD-2.

2020

Published a digital map of the transport system of the Leningrad region

On September 17, 2020, SIMETRA, a competence center in the field of transport modeling and planning, published an interactive map of the transport system of the Leningrad Region. Specialists and ordinary residents of the region have become available visual information about the population density in certain areas, a map of accident foci and other information. All data were collected as part of a project to develop a program for the integrated development of transport infrastructure (PKRTI) and a comprehensive scheme for public transport services (KSOT) of the Leningrad Region. All data will be available to the customer following the results of the project - this will contribute to the digitalization of the region's transport.

The interactive map is available on the official information resource of the project.

On the map of the Leningrad region, you can add and remove "layers" with information, change the scale and view the data in detail up to a specific object. The interface allows you to quickly upload screenshots to share them, for example, on social networks.

The entire territory of the region is divided into transport areas, which reflect the places where people travel from and where most often. For most of them, the population density is separately calculated. In addition, you can see the following information:

• the main accident foci with statistics of victims and dead,
• individual transport measurement points (including during peak hours and at the borders of the region),
• public transport measurement points (including at interchange nodes and terminal stops),
• sections of the road network.

As the project develops, new layers will be added to the map: for example, data on public transport routes and stops will become available.

It is especially important for us as project developers to show every resident of the Leningrad Region that this program of integrated transport infrastructure development (PKRTI) and public transport service scheme (KSOT) will be supported by a huge analytical work and technologies. We are responsible for our own reputation for the validity and transparency of each calculation, so we try to attract as much attention to the project as possible, show the logic of all decisions made, "explains SIMETRA CEO Vladimir Shvetsov.

All data are reflected cloudy in the environment RITM3 - an information and analytical system designed to support decision-making on the development of the transport system of the agglomeration and the region. The solution was developed by SIMETRA.

As of September 2020, the official resource of the project continues to collect wishes from residents of the Leningrad Region and St. Petersburg to improve the transport system of the region. The first appeals of residents have already been processed, the project working group is preparing answers to the most rational proposals.

Launch of information resource to control development of transport infrastructure development program

SIMETRA, a competence center in the field of modeling transport flows and transport planning, announced on August 18, 2020 that it had launched an information resource for residents of the Leningrad Region. On it, you can observe the progress of the project for the development of transport planning documents of the Leningrad Region, on the basis of which the transport infrastructure of the region will develop.

According to the company, the Integrated Development Program transport infrastructure (PKRTI) of the Leningrad Region for the period up to 2035, as well as the Comprehensive Scheme for Organizing Public Transport Services by Public Transport (KSOT) are being developed by the SIMETRA team commissioned by automobile the Leningrad Region Road Administration (GKU Lenavtodor""). The work is carried out using modern digital technologies, including a domestic solution that RITM3 was used in the development the Russian of foreign projects.

On the website MEDIA St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region, as well as residents of the region will be able to find out everything relevant about the information project, its current stages, and quickly receive the latter. news For greater clarity, a visual graph has been made on the site, which allows you to find out about the sequence and status of readiness of the stages.

Decisions in transport planning should always be transparent to society - it is important for residents to see and understand what is happening, why certain actions are needed. Dialogue with people is also important, for this we implemented the opposite on the portal: communication any resident of the region can send their wishes to the working group, and they will be considered. So residents can help experts make PKRTI more effective. told Vladimir Shvetsov, CEO of SIMETRA

In August 2020, the first stage of the project is nearing completion - a preliminary analysis of the conditions for the development of the transport system of the Leningrad region. To fulfill which, the company's specialists collected statistical data state and private organizations, analyzed federal and regional documents of strategic, territorial and transport planning.

SIMETRA experts have already begun the following two stages: they began to conduct field research and create a mathematical model of the transport system of the entire Leningrad Region. To do this, the team investigated the intensity of the transport flow at 216 transport nodes. In parallel, work is underway to create a computer mathematical transport model of the Leningrad Region, with the help of which engineers will be able to assess how effective certain solutions are: organizing reverse traffic, installing a traffic light, building a road, introducing a bus route.

Leningrad Oblast Transport Infrastructure Development Program Development Plans

SIMETRA, the competence center in the field of transport flow modeling and transport planning, will develop a Program for the Integrated Development of Transport Infrastructure (PKRTI) of the Leningrad Region for the period up to 2035, as well as a Comprehensive Scheme for Organizing Public Transport Services by Public Transport (KSOT). This became known on July 14, 2020.

The program for the development of transport infrastructure of the Leningrad region is extremely necessary. It will make it possible to clearly define a plan of priority measures for the decryption of problem nodes. The implementation of the program's measures will help achieve the targets of the Safe and High-Quality Roads national project: improve the state of the road network, eliminate places of concentration of road accidents, and reduce the share of tracks operating in overload mode, "said Denis Sedov, head of the road committee of the Leningrad Region.

The work will be carried out using RITM3 's own digital solution, which has already been repeatedly used in the development of not only Russian, but also foreign projects.

The SIMETRA team faces a responsible task - to develop a program for the integrated development of the transport infrastructure of the Leningrad region, and a scheme for organizing transport services for the population by public transport (KSOT). It is important that when creating programs, the Russian digital solution will be used RITM3 for monitoring, modeling and dispatching transport flows, which can be used during the direct implementation of the Program, "said Vladimir Shvetsov, CEO of SIMETRA.

During the execution of the work, SIMETRA will conduct a detailed analysis of the current state of transport infrastructure throughout the Leningrad Region, study the documents of territorial development, conduct a survey for 7 thousand respondents and measurements at 217 metering points.

As a result, we will propose an optimal option for the development of transport infrastructure taking into account the main global trends, that is, meeting the concept of sustainable development and taking into account all the opportunities offered by the digitalization of the transport industry. A list of measures linked to each other will be developed, indicating the priority and timing of implementation, - said Vladimir Shvetsov.

The development of the Program will be carried out in several stages, the planned completion date for all work is December 1, 2020.
