SYNCHRONIZATION OF SCHEDULES AT THE TRANSFER HUB IN THE PTV VISUM ENVIRONMENT

Abstract

This article discusses the problem of synchronizing the schedules of arriving commuter trains and local buses using the example of the transfer hub of the New Peterhof station in the suburbs of St. Petersburg through the PTV Visum program. To solve the problem, a transport model of the transfer node in question was developed. The article describes the method of synchronization of the schedule by the considered software, which was performed through the procedures of redistribution according to the schedule and optimization of the shift of intervals. During the implementation of the redistribution procedures, it was possible to reduce the total waiting time for public transport on the line by 14%, and at the Novy Peterhof station by 9%. The cost estimate of the time and the socio-economic effect of reducing the waiting time for transport were also calculated.
