This article represents the methodology of transport flows elasticity in condition two alternative routes. The planning routes demands elasticity. As an example was taken one Rostov-on-Don (Russia). A tunnel as route offered to redistribute flows. To assume behavior coefficient calculated. It showed effect implementation. Considering gives a clear idea if implementation is efficient.

The present study explored the interaction between the upriver migration of fish and the blockage of their migration routes by dam construction. Specifically, we studied (i) the capacity of migratory fish to locate alternative routes in the presence of an obstacle, and (ii) the behavior of the fish after they were artificially transferred to the reservoir. With the use of the markrecapture tech...
