DEPENDENCE OF TRIP LENGTH FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTION ON CHARACTERISTICS OF ROUTE NETWORK ELEMENTS

Abstract

The up-to-date methods of the demand modelling for municipal public transport (MPT) services are not perfect and they require an objective estimation, enhancement and improvement. These refinements are to take into account the functions of population allocation in modern cities. The possibility of the definition of population allocation functions on the basis of characteristics of public transport stops allocation, the regularities of distances between adjacent stops and distances between a pair of stops are investigated.
