The Transport Infrastructure of Kharkiv (Analysis of Status and the Main Tendencies)

Abstract

The article is aimed at analyzing the current status of Kharkiv public transport infrastructure and identifying the main tendencies of its development. The current status of the city public passenger transport in Kharkov was analyzed. It is substantiated, that each of kinds of public transport, though having its own infrastructure and features, should function together with the others as a uniform system with its characteristic attributes. Attention is focused on the topicality of introduction of modern innovative technologies, in particular intelligent control systems, in work of all modes of transport. It has been specified that the current unified transport system of Kharkiv consists of two levels (ground – tram, trolleybus, and bus routes, taxis, and underground – metro system) and requires improvement – development of the third level (overground). For partial solution of transport problems, it has been suggested to use the transport-infrastructure complex with the overpass rail-string track structure on the basis of applying of the Sky Way technology.
