Aspects of city buses life cycle management
Incoming article date: 06.11.2023Public bus transport is an important part of the life of most residents of the city. The age of a city bus affects its safety, efficiency and competitiveness. Based on the above, the life cycle of buses needs to be managed. The purpose of the study is to analyze the life cycle of urban buses and develop management solutions. The research period is from 2012 to 2022. The place of collection of information is Tyumen. The uneven renewal of rolling stock can lead to a significant financial annual burden on the city budget. The experience of the functioning of the urban transport system has shown the demand for the use of buses of particularly large and high capacity. Such a management decision helps to increase the comfort of passengers and increase the level of road safety. The dependence of the influence of extensive bus renovation on the share of budget expenditures in Tyumen is presented. It is proposed to distribute the annual cost of buying new buses evenly. It is necessary to strive for an equilibrium system, when planning an extensive development path for the urban public transport system. The methodology of this research can be used by legislative and executive authorities when planning the city budget.
