Development of a comprehensive indicator for assessing the state of urban electric transport for the executive authorities of the Russian Federation

This article analyzes 115 cities on the territory of the Russian Federation in which one or more urban electric transport systems operate. It is determined that in the modern industry there is no single comprehensive indicator of the state of urban electric transport, which would allow an assessment of the state of systems not only in relation to their own indicators of previous years, but also in relation to other, similar systems. A comprehensive indicator is proposed that will allow a comprehensive assessment of the state of urban electric transport and interpret it in numerical terms for its application by state and regional authorities, allowing to quickly draw conclusions and make a decision on further adjustment of the functioning of the electric transport system, characterized by a relatively simple formula for calculation and does not require specific competencies for those conducting the analysis. The key indicators of urban electric transport are systematized, including those related to the operated energy infrastructure, linear infrastructure, park facilities, including technical buildings and structures for system maintenance, indicators related to rolling stock and its key technical characteristics, as well as the availability of urban electric transport for residents of the considered locality and passenger flows within this framework systems. The boundaries of the values of the final indicator have been determined, within which the state of urban electric transport will be assessed by state and regional authorities as satisfactory or unsatisfactory and requiring decisions on revising approaches to the development of the system within the framework of strategic transport planning documents.
