TRANSPORT LOGISTICS: PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS

This article examines such a subject area as the state and prospects of development of transport logistics. The purpose of the proposed study was to identify and summarize the most significant problems and ways to solve them in the field of transport logistics. Transport logistics is a fundamental element of the modern economy, directly affecting its development, the standard of living of the population and the competitiveness of the country as a whole. Efficient transportation management helps to reduce costs, speed up delivery, improve the quality of services, as well as the sustainability and safety of transport systems. The main methods chosen are: logical analysis of publications on the subject of the article, systematization and generalization of problems, comparative analysis of problems and ways to solve them.The authors focus their attention on passenger transportation. The problems typical for large regional centers have been identified, including the underdevelopment of the route network, irregular movement of public transport, its overcrowding, poor technical condition, unsatisfactory condition of roads and artificial creation of traffic jams. Also among the common problems are: depreciation of fixed assets, insufficient financing, poor development of the logistics structure, safety and environmental issues, as well as irrational supply chain management. Proposals have been developed to eliminate the problems mentioned in the article, including increasing the number of vehicles, stimulating fleet renewal, optimizing road services, improving transport tracking systems, and switching to environmentally friendly transport. The issue of implementing an automated management system in transport logistics is discussed in more detail. The novelty of the research lies in the systematization of problems and the selection of adequate solutions to these problems.
