City traffic flows in the light of extrapolation analysis

Forward-looking indicators of freight flows can identify the conflicts of the interaction of the flow with the layout of the city. The article defines the efficiency of the method in the completeness of assessment of the current and future trends in the development of freight transport flows in the planning of urban areas. The character of the existing distribution of traffic flows in the city as well as future development trends in intensity and capacity is given. The results of the city traffic flows forecasting as a missing link complete the generally accepted method of calculating the total traffic flow in the layout of the city, which will satisfy all the requirements of the General plan of the city. The research results allow us to justify the classification of the road network, determine the dimensions of carriageways and lanes, to select relevant characteristics of the roadway, to assign the most favorable mode of traffic on the highways, etc.
