Abstract

The principles of organizing sustainable urban mobility in Kharкiv, its current state and development prospects are considered. The indicators of motorization rate, the level of development of the road network, the bicycle infrastructure of the city, the development of the infrastructure of urban passenger transport using BRT routes, are analyzed. The indicators of urban mobility are considered. The results of a studied characteristics of traffic flows in the transport network are presented, the composition of traffic flows in various areas of the city is determined, the speeds of traffic flows and the loading level of streets and roads are analyzed. Proposals have been formulated for the further development of the road network and urban space in Kharkiv, which meet the main priorities of the “mobility pyramid” and the basic principles of sustainable urban mobility. Implementation of the proposals will ensure uniform road traffic, safe distribution of city territories in favor of non-motorized transport, improve energy efficiency by renewing the rolling stock fleet and reduce greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles.
