The research team led by Director of the Institute of Applied Mathematical Research (IAMR KarRC RAS) Vladimir Mazalov is implementing the project “Design and study of mathematical models for finding equilibrium in transport flows and optimizing the transport network: Petrozavodsk case study”.
The output will be a mathematical model of the city’s transport system which will analyze the competitive behavior of transport companies and estimate the intensity of public and private transport traffic in specific situations. Analyzing versatile data, mathematicians will find the conditions for optimizing social costs in traffic. This and other solutions will also be used to model an optimal transport network for a pilot area of the city.
The city of Petrozavodsk is currently working on a major transport reform project. IAMR KarRC RAS staff are members of the working group on this matter under the City Administration. Mathematical simulation of scenarios will support decision-making.
Scientists are also interested in this work from the theoretical point of view, namely as a development of the game theory. Vladimir Mazalov is a world-known specialist in this sphere.
The project initiated by Karelian mathematicians has been supported by the Russian Science foundation within its regional projects competition. The work is expected to be completed in 2024.

Mathematicians from the Karelian Research Centre RAS started designing a software system for real-time simulation of the traffic situation in the city. From the practical point of view, it will help manage actual transport flows to improve the situation, and scientifically it will open up new tasks for game theory research.
