DETERMINATION OF PASSENGER-TRAFFIC FLOWS IN REGIONAL TRANSPORT SYSTEM ON THE BASIS OF MODIFIED GRAVITY MODELS by E. A. Nurminskiy, I. N. Pugachev, N. V. Shamray, V. N. Sedyukevich

“…Results of the observations can be used for development planning of a road network and a bus service system.Due to lack of direct data on the existing demand efforts have been made to obtain its model description while using modified gravity models that make it possible to estimate  volumes of population transportation which is carried out between residential areas by public transport buses and private vehicles. The given models have permitted to make analysis of more than 5000 populated locality pairs for 86 residential areas where the population constitutes more than 80 % and its passenger flow formation component in equal to 60%. …”
