Improving Transport Infrastructure in the Context of the Transition to the Smart City Concept in Small Towns

EasyChair Preprint 3098

Abstract

Cities are faced with such tasks as providing residents with a quality infrastructure for life support, public transport, and social infrastructure. In order to solve the problems, cities increasingly turn to digital technologies, which has led to the formation of a full-fledged and well-established name for this area of activity - “Smart City”. Using the example of the small town of Zelenodolsk in the Republic of Tatarstan, we carried out the studies to improve transport infrastructure in the context of the transition to the Smart City concept in small towns. To increase the stability of the transport infrastructure, it is necessary to introduce intelligent transport systems. The influence of intelligent transport systems on the transport process in Zelenodolsk was evaluated using the AIMSUN simulation package, which allows simulating traffic. Studies have shown that all indicators characterizing traffic flow have changed for the better. Consequently, the transition to the concept of "Smart City" is applicable not only for large, but also for small cities.

Keyphrases: "Smart City", AIMSUN, Intelligent Transport Systems, Traffic, model, transport systems
