DEFINITION OF NEED FOR IMPROVEMENT OF METHANE GAS STATIONS NETWORK
The subject is the gas-filling network of affiliated gas stations designed for the needs of the passenger bus fleet, participating in regular route passenger traffic.The aim is to define ways of improvement of gas-filling infrastructure.The developed formalized dependences of parameters of gas-filling infrastructure on parameters of a bus fleet work are applied. Decisions on the actions directed on improvement of filling network are made on the bases of the indicator of consumer satisfaction with infrastructure facilities.The presented coefficient can assess the existing gas-filling network for a certain circle of consumers (bus fleet) and define the missed benefit because of remoteness of gas stations. For definition of the required actions the analysis of a route on several conditions is carried out. By results of this analysis routes of city passenger traffic are divided into three categories.The offered scheme of placement of affiliated gas stations within Orenburg for the bus routes, referred to the 3rd category, is given as an example.Presented in the article results of researches at designing the affiliated gas stations allow to create the gas- filling station which is completely adapted under parameters of the certain group of the mobile structure, working at regular passenger routes.
