Transportation service system modeling for people with limited mobility

Abstract. The article describes the basic concept of defining the «availability» of urban infrastructure for people with limited mobility (PWLM). The author proposed options to improve existing logistics systems in order to improve the basic level of transportation for people with limited mobility. An algorithm to determine the number of vehicles equipped to transport people with limited mobility in the logistics system of public passenger transport was developed based on a comparison of the carriers’ logistics cost calculation results on the transport service of people with limited mobility and total costs of PWLM passenger travelling.
