One of the most important issues of modern Saint-Petersburg is the need to re-arrange existing transfer stations in full-fledged transport and transfer nodes (TPU) which has moved to a practical level, which is more closely related to the demand of the population of large cities for multimodal seamless passenger transport. In the current processes of suburbanization and the continuous increase in the level of motorization in major cities, a transport problem exists which causes urban, ecological, socio-economic and other consequences.
At the end of June 2018 Alina Trishina, a graduate of the Department of Municipal Services, Geodesy, Land Planning and Cadastres of SPSUACE, defended her graduation qualification work for the qualification of a Bachelor of Engineering on the theme "Model of the reorganization of passenger transfer points by optimizing the time spent for changing". The scientific supervisor of this work was the Assistant of the Department N.A. Kalyuzhny.
The basis of the work of A. Trishina was the theoretical development of the thesis of the Supervisor of on the formation of transport interchange nodes in the structure of the agglomeration. Having studied the foreign experience and conducted a time-based survey of the time spent by passengers on interchanging at more than 30 potentially significant metro stations and the suburban railroad of Saint- Petersburg, Alina could classify the results obtained, which contributed to a deeper and more detailed consideration for the design decisions. This approach has shown the possibility of creating a number of models for the reorganization of passenger terminals based on the standard time spent on interchanging passengers.
As a result of the work performed, in addition to these models, numerical indicators of the social and economic efficiency of such reorganization were received, which make it possible to put into practice.
The pluses of this work are the introduction of elements of interdisciplinary relations in transport and urban planning projects - mathematics, numerical analysis, economic, geography. The chosen theme of the graduation work is in the field of research of several disciplines - urban planning, transport planning and modeling, economics.
