Modeling passenger transportation processes using vehicles of various forms of ownership

Upon passenger transportation management, control in transport systems largely depends on the efficiency of fleet use provided the maximum satisfaction of customers' requirements. Under modern conditions, urban passenger transportation is carried out by municipal and private passenger vehicles. The efficiency of control and development of measures on the improvement of passenger transportation quality is achieved by solving a problem of coordinating the joint work of vehicles in organizations with various forms of ownership over the fleet. A general strategy is to achieve maximum operating conditions ensuring economic efficiency and quality of passenger transportation under the condition of transportation process safety. The article describes passenger transportation modeling using vehicles of various forms of ownership, which is the most efficient tool for solving this problem, allowing determining the optimum number of vehicles with account for their capacity in a specific situation, and obtaining the best solution from the set of available solutions to coordinate the operation of passenger vehicles in organizations with various forms of ownership over the fleet.
