THE TRANSPORT SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT IN CONDITIONS OF HIGH-DENSITY URBAN DEVELOPMENT (ON THE EXAMPLE OF MURINO)

In conditions of rapid scientific and technological progress, the role of transport (and related transport safety, infrastructure, problematic factors, etc.) is extremely significant. At the same time, many large cities (including Russian cities) are characterized by the high rates of construction and development of suburbs and new neighborhoods without the corresponding facilities (or at a much slower pace) of transport routes, access roads, stops, subway stations, appropriate infrastructure, etc. One of the most pronounced examples is the town of Murino (a suburb of St. Petersburg), whose population has grown over the last 9 years from 9.9 thousand people (2014) to 104 thousand people (2023), with an average annual increase of 10 thousand by 2030. Existing transportation problems cause suburban residents travel 2-3 km to the nearest metro station for 50 minutes. Authors proposed a new solution, tested it, and confirmed its reliability and efficiency: transport-infrastructure complexes developed by Unitsky String Technologies (uST) as a kind of rail off-street transport. In particular, based on available analytical and calculation data, the study proposes the construction of a commercial project on the route from Murino to Devyatkino metro station with a length of 3.4 km and 6 stations. The article also presents a number of advantages of uST, substantiates the economic efficiency of the project (based on payback period estimation), provides financial and organizational scenarios of its implementation, and provides further prospects.
