Detailed transport analysis and modelling focused on the key network of streets in Satpayev city

Abstract

The range of research of this paper is the central area of Satpayev city with a radius of around 150 hectares. The first problem was to define the possible effect of expanding Satpayev Avenue via Miners Square on the current transport network of the city. Based on the established traffic simulation software, researchers were able to model two different urban planning scenarios. These were then benchmarked against real traffic data that was recorded in the 80 intersections referred to as the key intersections in the city to measure the changes in the traffic performance. It was found that traffic in the evenings was extremely more delayed compared to the morning traffic; an average of about 20 percent more congestions. The avenue extension under consideration had a favorable influence on the state of the total traffic, providing significantly better travel times. In addition, the findings indicate that the extension would aid in relieving transit traffic out of residential areas, thereby enhancing the living conditions in those places. The analysis has affirmed that the suggested extension is likely to boost mobility, reduce congestions, and improve accessibility of emergency and municipal services.
