Dynamic capacity road passenger transport: the history of its appearance and development prospects

This publication provides a literary review of scientific publications on topics related to the use of dynamic capacity road passenger transport - trailed passenger vehicles that, during a period of increasing passenger traffic, interlock, increasing capacity, and during periods of recession, uncouple, reducing capacity. Modern scientific and practical trends in this field abroad are shown. A new approach to the organization of regular passenger transport in the Republic of Belarus is proposed, which consists in daily forecasting of passenger traffic for each flight of each route, followed by the assignment of passenger vehicles of dynamic capacity to such flights, which maximally corresponds to the available passenger traffic.
