Features of the application of the Hakimi method in determining the optimal location of crews to eliminate the consequences of road accidents

Abstract

Maintenance of the effective work of the transport complex is the most important task to provide dynamic urban environment. At the same time road capacity is a key feature of this complex according to which the planning and organization of transport process are carried out. The refore, the study of issues of cost-effective increase of the road throughput is an urgent task. One of the reason for reducing road network throughput are large number of road traffic accidents which are contribute to increase likelihood of traffic jams. The main way to solve identified problem is to reduce time of the consequence liquidation of the road traffic accidents due to the optimization of each of the stages of this work. In particular, one of such stages is response and arrival of the city service crew to the place of accident. The purpose of this research is to high light key features and substantiate application possibilities of search methods of optimal city service crew placement on the road network area. The article presents the results of our own researches based on literature analysis and process modeling of the consequence liquidation of the road traffic accidents. These researches have substantiated the application of the Hakimi method in solving the problem of searching optimal placements of the city service crew. The authors formulated and introduced a number of restrictive conditions for solving the formulated problem. The results can be used to coordinate the work of urban operational road accident response services.
