CITY TRAFFIC FLOWS IN THE LIGHT OF EXTRAPOLATION ANALYSIS

Abstract

Forward-looking indicators of freight flows can identify the conflicts of the interaction of the
flow with the layout of the city. The article defines the efficiency of the method in the completeness
of assessment of the current and future trends in the development of freight transport flows in the
planning of urban areas. The character of the existing distribution of traffic flows in the city as well
as future development trends in intensity and capacity is given.
The results of the city traffic flows forecasting as a missing link complete the generally accepted
method of calculating the total traffic flow in the layout of the city, which will satisfy all the
requirements of the General plan of the city. The research results allow us to justify the classification
of the road network, determine the dimensions of carriageways and lanes, to select relevant characteristics
of the roadway, to assign the most favorable mode of traffic on the highways, etc.
Keywords: urban planning, traffic flows, forecasting analysis, growth factor.
