Calculation of Route Duplication Indicator and Development of Optimization Directions of Work City Passenger Transport Regular Service

In the current conditions of passenger carriers' operation, the task of optimising route networks becomes particularly relevant. One of the most widespread problems reducing the efficiency of their work is route duplication. In this regard, there is a need to develop and apply scientifically based methods of evaluation and optimisation of route networks aimed at reducing route duplication and increasing the efficiency of passenger transport vehicles. This publication considers the problem of duplication of regular urban passenger transport routes in Brest. In order to solve this problem, the indicators of duplicability assessment, the methodology of calculation of such indicators, their values for the conditions of Brest are developed, and various directions of optimisation of urban regular passenger transport of Brest are given.
