TRANSPORT INTERCHANGE HUBS AND PROBLEMS OF HUMAN FLOWS TRAFFIC ORGANIZATION

A review of the functional and space-planning characteristics of transport interchange hubs (TIH) is substantiated by the relevance of the presented topic; the subject and the object of research are identified. As a basis of the research a systematic analysis is taken, which is differentiated into four main levels: communicational, systematical, local and individual. The regularities of human flows movement are researched at every level. The main parameters and their dependencies provide the basis for the development of integrated methods of calculation, modelling and regulation of pedestrian traffic pathways, which could be applied to the practice of architectural design of TIH.
