This document summarizes several urban mobility projects conducted by OTSLAB in Russian cities: 1. A multi-agent model of St. Petersburg that simulates the city's transportation system and allows testing of policies and their impacts. The model predicted traffic after a toll road price increase with 1-3% accuracy. 2. A redesign of Sennaya Square in St. Petersburg to create a safe, passenger-friendly transit hub by bringing together different transportation modes. 3. The first BRT system proposed in Russia for Krasnoyarsk, including optimal route identification and phased implementation plans. 4. Additional studies include accessibility analyses of St. Petersburg waterways and a concept for

The model simulates 24 hours of the
life of the whole city and also contains
future scenarios (up untill 2044).
Using the model we are able to test
any policies and predict their impact.
Model also allows us to calculate
traffic externalities, compare the
environmental impact of any network
changes as well as assess the
accessibility of any site by different
transport modes.
The model was helped us to predict
traffic on the toll road after price
increase within 1-3% accuracy

Valuable space is used
for long-term free
parking
Public transit facilities
are disconnected from
each other
Walking & accessing
subway is complicated
& unsafe due to lots of
obstacles, narrow paths

8. Main design idea: create a safe and passenger-
friendly public transit hub
8
1. Bringing together all
modes of transport (metro,
tram and buses) to enable
quick, comfortable and
safe transfers
2. Making the hub clearly
visible and accessible from
anywhere

9. Main design idea: create a safe and passenger-
friendly public transit hub

3. Route all the transit lines via the hub
4. Enable turnaround of buses
5. Use dynamic traffic lights
coordination, to prioritize the public
transit
Comfortable
transfer to subway
Simple and clear
navigation

10. Compact public transit infrastructure
leaves plenty of space for other
functions and allows us to rescue all
of the existing trees.
Re-configuration of commerce
spaces and removal of unnecessary
barriers and fences creates
connected and safe pedestrian
environment.
Traffic model was used to optimize
traffic light‘s cycles and to prove the
effectiveness of the proposed
infrastructure measures.

We used genetic algorithm to find optimal
BRT routes

The city-wide BRT system was proposed
which will the cost the same as only 4 subway
stations and can be completed in 4-5 years

16. Proposed transit hubs
connect BRT and
commuter rail
- Commuter rail stop
- BRT stop
- Bus stop
- Trolleybus stop
- Tram stop
- Park&Ride

Puteprovod Hub
Tsentralniy Vokzal Hub

Studencheskaya Hub
Shinniy Zavod Hub
Severny Hub

21. Inaccessible rivers of S-Petersburg
The study was conducted to
identify the staus quo in
terms of public access to
emabrkments and the quality
of pedestrian infrastructure.
Conceptual improvement
plan was developed.

22. Water transit network in S-Petersburg
22
Using the multi-agent model and
genetic algorithm most effective
layout for the water transit system
was developed.
For each of 6 proposed routes the
passenger traffic, revenue, the
optimal schedule and fares were
determined.
We‘ve calculated the financial
model for the project including
the size of public subsidies
required to launch the regular
operation of water transit.

23. Concept for Alexandrovskiy park
Developed together with ITMO
University and GASU University.
The deficits and gaps of the
existing pedestrian infrastructure
were analyzed and optimal
layout was developed using the
ant algorithm.
