Accessibility for all sections of population constitutes an important condition for development of Russian Federation’s transport system. Over 80 per cent of the country’s population live, work and study in cities and towns, where all types of transport are concentrated, thus urban areas have a priority in adapting transport system to handicapped people’s requirements. Scientific and Research Institute of Motor Transport (NIIAT) and Moscow State Automobile and Road Technical University (MADI) developed a methodological approach to forming logistical networks for transportation of handicapped sections of the population, which is the basic instrument for developing and building accessible, barrier-free environment on the transport.

Keywords: methodology, logistics network, accessibility, handicapped sections of population, transport system.

The paper deals with double electric layer capacitors’ applications for urban electric transport vehicles used in Russia. The optimal value of onboard buffer energy storage unit for a trolleybus is found using the results of motion modes monitoring. The payback period of such onboard buffer energy storage units is estimated. Onboard buffer energy storage unit usage in trolleybuses and trams are compared compared.

Keywords: buffer energy storage unit, double electric layer capacitor, urban electric transport.
