Ilsur Metshin will take part in the presentation of the CSOT project

(Kazan City KZN.RU, November 18). Today in Kazan City Hall at 16.00 the results of the project of Complex scheme of the organization of traffic of the city (CSOT) for 2014-2020 with a view to 2030 will be announced.

Presentation of the project of CSOT will be held by deputy head of the department of transport systems - head of transport modeling of intelligent transport systems department of research and design institute of territorial development and transport infrastructure Stanislav Volodchenko (St. Petersburg), after which the document will be discussed by all stakeholders.

The main objective of the project is to improve the organization of traffic on the road network of Kazan by preventing the occurrence of congestion situations in the continued growth of motorization to meet the transport needs of the city with minimal cost and maximum safety (reduction of accidents and negative impacts on the environment and public health), and creating a comfortable environment for the transportation of residents and visitors.

Recall complex scheme of traffic of Kazan for 2014-2020 with a view to 2030 was developed in a joint with United Nations Development Program project to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from road transport in the cities of Russia in the conditions of matched funding. The agreement on the joint development and financing agreement were signed December 2, 2013. In April of the last year an open competition to develop CSOT of Kazan was held, which was attended by five organizations of developers. Research and design institute of territorial development and transport infrastructure (St. Petersburg) was recognized the winner, a municipal contract was signed on May 6 last year.

In this work a detailed analysis of the transport situation in Kazan was made. Comprehensive survey of traffic and pedestrian flows, a full analysis of the technical means of traffic, analysis of parking spaces were done. And a comprehensive transport model (software suite PTV VISION VISUM) was developed; it includes 319 areas of transport, more than 12,500 pieces, more than 5 thousand units, 7 transport systems, 292 intersections. The model was calibrated by three accounting periods - morning, afternoon and evening. Also models for 2020 and 2030 have been created for the forecast for the traffic situation.

On the basis of calculations carried out on the transport model and the analysis of documents of urban and socio-economic development of Kazan, the main problems of the transport system of the city were revealed. In particular, it was noted that today the level of loading of a number of routes exceeds the standard by almost a half (st. Vosstaniya, Sibersky tract, Mamadyshsky tract, Orenburgsky tract), about 30% of the road network operates in overload, in a number of barrier places loading may exceed normative in two or more times.

According to the analysis of the transport model by 2020, it is projected that unless deliberate measures are taken, the load on the road system will not only grow, but also will shift from the center to the peripheral part of the city. The average load of the road network will increase to 70% in 2020 and to 75% for 2030, the speed will decrease to 19 km / h.

To eliminate the negative scenarios of development of the city, developers offered three scenarios for the implementation of the strategy of CSOT designed for different financial capabilities. Thus, the minimum option would only deter the situation in today's framework, and the maximum will allow achieving, in particular, the increase of the weighted average speed on the road and public transport in the third (8 km / h) and reducing the number of congestion intersections in comparison the current situation by 53% until 2030.

Final draft of CSOT based on the comments of experts is publicly available on the website kazantransport.ru.
