Ways of coordinating schedules in regional passenger traffic

In the modern conditions of the Russian Federation in the traffic management field one of the priorities is the development and improvement of the route transport functioning quality. One of the main passengers' requirements is the minimum travel time expenditures. Satisfying such a requirement without the mutual coordination of transport processes on routes and the use of roadside station by vehicles and passengers is problematic due to their interdependence. The problem of such coordination is inherited both in the cities, and in regional settlements. In this study, a methodology has been developed for coordinating bus schedules on regional routes that have common route sections or roadside station. This methodology was implemented in the Sargatsky district of the Omsk region. According to the obtained results, the average passenger waiting time in the case of a switch was reduced by 37%.
