GIS-MONITORING OF REGIONAL TRANSPORT NETWORK

The work is devoted to GIS-monitoring of the transport network of the Moscow metropolitan area (MMA). This direction is an actual trend in the modern regional economy, as it can be seen from a brief overview of the scientific publications presented in work. Special software has been developed for the automatic collection, accumulation, and processing of data on MMA commuters (a sample of 20 thousand virtual people living at a distance of up to 80 km from Moscow) from the region to the center. Data is collected hourly through the Yandex platforms (Maps and Traffic), which allows us to monitor the regional transport network's load status in time and space. Indicators of commuter's losses are discussed, and an analysis of time and financial losses of MMA commuters is carried out. The methods of collecting, storing, and analyzing the data are described, as well as the first results obtained are presented. Prospects for further work are discussed.
