BSTRACT
The problem of urban transport development is considered on the example of Tashkent. The conclusion
about the need to solve transport problems of the megalopolis from the point of view of the city and the
person is made. One of the ways to solve these problems is to create a compact, environmentally friendly,
cost-effective urban transport. This variant of solving the problem of traffic jams in the mega city is
considered to be the most realistic and more dependent on engineering solutions and well-established
production. The proposed technical characteristics and limitations of urban compact, environmentally
friendly and economical transport are considered. One of the types of vehicles that meet these
requirements are single track vehicles (STV) - motorcycles, mopeds and scooters.

Tashkent, as a modern megalopolis, has serious
traffic problems due to the huge amount of traffic
that enters its streets. Moreover, the excess of
cars affects not only participants of road traffic,
but also all residents of the city [1, 2] (Fig. 1, 2).
Private car owners suffer from traffic jams and
inability to get to their destination in a reasonable
time, and once there, they lose time looking for a
parking space due to its scarcity. Many have
problems due to the lack of available parking lots
and garages. It should also be noted the high price
of fuel [1, 2].

Fig. 2. Traffic on the streets of Tashkent reaches the level of 10 points. View of the city map
according to the "Yandex. Traffic Jams" service.
Passengers of ground public transport lose time
due to traffic jams and irregular public transport
movements [1, 2].
Public services and private delivery companies
also suffer from traffic jams, rapid response
services (traffic police, ambulances and
firefighters) cannot get to problem areas quickly
and provide timely assistance.
All residents suffer from smog and noise.
There is a paradoxical situation: on the one hand,
modern technology allows to increase the speed
of human movement from point "A" to point "B"
and, accordingly, reduce the time spent on a trip
with a sufficient level of comfort, on the other
hand, the number of vehicles and road conditions
are such that the actual speed of movement from

point "A" to point "B" decreases from year to year,
and the time of standing in traffic jams increases
[2, 3, 5].
It is necessary to solve the transport problems of
the mega city from the point of view of the
city¬and the person.
One way to solve these problems is to create an
urban compact, environmentally friendly,
economical vehicle [2, 3, 4, 5].
Advantages: 90% of all private cars in cities are
used to transport one or two people to and from
work (during rush hours these cars are in
majority on the roads), so there is no need in a big
car for their moving - smaller vehicle is
economical, ecological, requires less parking
space, cheaper for maintenance etc;
disadvantages: currently there is no mass
production of vehicles that can radically solve the
problem of space on the road.
The first three options are the responsibility of
the city authorities and their decisions, so we
consider the fourth option to solve the problem of
traffic jams in the metropolis as the most realistic
and more dependent on engineering solutions
and established production.
Let us consider the expected technical
characteristics and limitations of urban compact,
environmentally friendly and economical
transport.
Initially, it is necessary to understand what an
ideal individual city car should be, so let's
consider the requirements for it from different
points of view:
-
requirements from the point of view of the
consumer: compactness, cheapness, economy,
safety, all-season;
-
requirements from the point of view of the
city:
compactness,
environmental
friendliness, safety;
-
requirements from the manufacturer's point
of
view:
cheapness
in
production,
maintainability, simplicity, reliability.
Let us consider the types of vehicles that meet
these requirements [2, 3].
Small class passenger cars (according to the
European classification category "A") (Fig. 2):
-
cheaper than the middle class, but not by
much;
-
smaller in size, but they also occupy one lane
and have no advantage in traffic jams;
-
are safe;
-
they take up less parking space;
-
all-season.
C
ONCLUSION
small class passenger cars partially meet the
necessary requirements and only in some
respects and will not be able to solve the
problems of traffic jams and places that occur in
the metropolis.

Fig. 2. Class "A" compact cars
Single-track vehicles (STV) - motorcycles,
mopeds, scooters (Fig. 3):
Advantages:
-
Are compact, take up half the lane of traffic,
and have serious advantages in traffic jams;
-
no problems with parking;
-
much cheaper than a car;
-
they are economical;
-
in natural and climatic conditions of
Uzbekistan - practically all-season operation;
-
disadvantages:
-
unsafe vehicles;
-
there is no protection from adverse external
factors;
-
to move requires special ammunition (helmet,
at least).
Conclusion: despite the disadvantages, STV would
be ideal as urban transport. In Southeast and
South Asian countries, such as China, India, and
Vietnam, the number of STV units on the road is
much higher than that of other modes of
transport, safety problems in these countries are
partially solved by low speeds in urban
conditions, and the warm climate allows the
operation of single-track vehicles year-round
without significant restrictions.

Fig. 4. Variants of SТBT
In order for a SТBT to have the advantages of both
a car and an STV, it must have the following
characteristics:
-
overall dimensions: length not more than 3.5
m; width not more than 0.75 m; height not
more than 1.8 m;
-
curb weight - not more than 400 kg.
-
fuel consumption must be not more than 1,5
l/100 km;
-
speed not less than 90 km/h;
-
availability of airbags;
-
price not exceeding $2,000.
C
ONCLUSION
If we create a SТBT with characteristics that fall
within these limits, it will become an ideal
individual transport for megalopolises and a
direct competitor to conventional cars.
The type of SТBT
Currently, the development of SТBT in various
countries is just beginning, but it is already
possible to classify it according to a number of
parameters:
-
by the number of riders: one or two;
-
by purpose: for public services (traffic police,
Interior Ministry, medical services); cab; one-
time delivery (pizza, mail, etc.); sports;
utilitarian (private); for the disabled;
-
according to the method of stability: with
retractable chassis; with a gyroscope; with
¬permanent vertical wheels; combined;
-
by the number of wheels: two-wheeled, three-
wheeled, four-wheeled;
-
by type of engine: with internal combustion
engine; electric motor; hybrid (with combined
power plant);
-
by type of transmission: mechanical, electric,
combined.
Prospects for SТBT development [2, 3, 4].
The process of SТBT development can
be divided
into several stages:
1.
The process of accumulation of experience
and creation of various types of SТBT by
private small firms and entrepreneurs is
already underway.
2.
In the nearest 1-3 years: optimization of
SТBT designs and launch of small
-scale
production.
3.
3 The nearest 3-5 years: interest in the
SТBT on the part of large car
manufacturers: large scale testing and
design revision.
4.
Next 5-
10 years: mass production of SТBT.
5.
Approximately in 10 years: direct
competition with conventional cars.
