V knige priveden kompleksnyy analiz metropolitenov, kak transportnykh sistem megapolisov. Vyyavleny sistemnye svoystva i svyazi pokazateley kachestva ekspluatatsii metropolitenov. Opredeleny pokazateli kachestva ekspluatatsii, v naibol'shey stepeni vliyayushchie na raskhod elektricheskoy energii na tyagu metropoezdov. Poluchena analiticheskaya zavisimost' udel'nogo raskhoda elektroenergii na tyagu metropoezda ot parametrov puti, podvizhnogo sostava, ego zagruzki i skorosti prokhozhdeniya uchastka trassy. Privedena matematicheskaya model' dvizheniya poezda v tonnele metropolitena. Pokazana universal'naya metodika sinteza energosberegayushchikh rezhimov upravleniya dvizheniem metropoezda dlya proektnykh i deystvuyushchikh liniy stroyashchikhsya i deystvuyushchikh metropolitenov. Pokazan primer sinteza energosberegayushchikh rezhimov upravleniya dvizheniem metropoezda dlya proektnoy i deystvuyushchey liniy metropolitenov. Otsenena ekonomicheskaya effektivnost' ot primeneniya sintezirovannykh rezhimov upravleniya dvizheniem metropoezdov.
