ANALYSIS OF TECHNICAL AND OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE INDICATORS OF BUSES ON ROUTE No. 61 "SCHOOL No. 3 – VERKHNEZARECHENSKOYE CEMETERY"

For the effective functioning of route No. 61, it is necessary to constantly conduct research on the values of passenger traffic and technical and operational indicators of the buses used. Passenger flows are characterized by irregularities in time of day and depend on the needs of the population of Volgograd for movement. The transportation capabilities of the buses produced on the line should correspond to the emerging passenger flows.The conducted research included: studying bus traffic patterns along route No. 61; determining the distances between stopping points; determining the probability characteristics of a random variable (bus downtime at the intermediate stopping points of route No. 61); determining the number of buses on the route and the intervals between them by hours of the day and days of the week. The article presents promising ways to develop the route network of urban passenger transport in Volgograd.
