Methodology and algorithm for research on regional transport systems

The article presents the concept of a methodology and algorithm for scientific research aimed at assessing the state and building an integrated, multi-modal transport system model in a region.1. INTRODUCTION
The methodology describing the successive stages of an inventor’s procedure, known as the “Algorithm for Inventive Problem Solving (ARIZ)”, was developed by H. Altshuller. It is based on two fundamental principles:3
1. The principle of searching for an ideal solution, which indicates the direction of the creator’s search, 2. The principle of technological contradictions, according to which technical objects have a number of interdependent parameters that determine their contradictions. This interdependence is often conflictual from the point of view of simultaneously improving a number of parameters.
The research stages proposed by H. Altshuller are as follows:
1. Selection of the task, 2. Construction of the task model, 3. Analysis of the task model, 4. Overcoming the physical contradiction, 5. (…)
