Abstract. At present, the organization of parking spaces constitutes a pressing issue in many cities worldwide, including in our country. This trend is driven by the sustained growth in the level of motorization. Its consequences are manifested in increased traffic flow intensity on urban arterial streets, reduced capacity of major roadways and transport nodes, heightened transportation load on elements of the street and road infrastructure. Under these conditions, municipal authorities face the task of developing a comprehensive project for the organization and management of parking spaces. It is well recognized that the transport infrastructure of each city possesses individual characteristics, historically shaped features and specific challenges. At the same time, the analysis and application of experience from foreign countries with high levels of motorization represent valuable practical and methodological resources that should be taken into account when addressing parking organization issues in large cities of our country. The implementation of substantial changes on arterial streets aimed at increasing the capacity of urban road networks is characteristic of most cities. During certain periods of traffic demand, the reduction of priority transport load on arterial streets may be achieved through the operation of park-and-ride systems. Within the framework of the present study, the isochrone method is considered as the principal methodological tool for assessing the spatiotemporal efficiency of transport systems. The proposed approach is primarily oriented toward the analysis of traffic flows at the urban level.
