The first results of the multistage mathematical modeling of Moscow traffic flows were presented by a group of MIPT scientists under the guidance of Professor Alexander Gasnikov, Scientific director of the Applied Mathematics and Physics department of the FPMI. The new method showed results higher than those of foreign analogues, in the future it will become the basis for laying convenient and efficient transport arteries. 

Young scientists from the Physics and Technology School of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science have found a way to significantly optimize the transport package, basing it on a fundamentally new method. According to the developers, one of the main goals of the project (in addition to replacing Western analogues) was the development of a package of equilibrium transport modeling based on new principles, ensuring that the procedures used converge. The package will be part of the Russian digital platform for modeling transport behavior, created by the Russian University of Transport.

«The main idea of our method is that the block run can be replaced by solving the convex optimization problem, and the Backmann model can be replaced by a stable dynamics model. As a result, the task will become even easier. The work of a team of young scientists from MIPT vividly demonstrated not only the possibility of creating a package in Russia in the coming years that would be competitive with Western models, but would also surpass them in such important indicators as reliability (robustness) and speed,» said Alexander Gasnikov.
