Principles of modern route systems planning for urban passenger transport

Principles of route systems planning for urban passenger transport. In order to solve the task of urban transport system economic efficiency improvement it is required to elaborate integrated programs of transport infrastructure development and passenger transportation planning which shall be considered as a part of long-range integrated planning of urban development. Projects of route network development shall ensure achievement of target-oriented technical-economic values, financial and socio-economic indicators of transport infrastructure development including indicators of safety, quality and efficiency of transportation services provision for the population. Thus, planning of transportation and designing of route networks should not only be connected with other strategic planning documentation but should constitute the center of integration being the background for integrated development.
