Methodological Aspects of Transportation Systems Classification and Management

The development of the transport services sector in the global economy determines the effectiveness of economic links, both at the international level and at the level of organizing exchange processes within each country. In this regard, the topic of improving quality of organization of the transportation process, as well as organization of effective transport and logistics services within the transportation systems, remain relevant in Russia and abroad.

The current state of the transport industry in Russia is characterized by such significant factors in formation of the market environment as digitalization of management processes and development of a customer-oriented policy, which is considered in various policy documents on development of transport. Competition in the Russian transport market is especially intensified for provision of cargo transportation services over medium distances. Currently, road transport services prevail over railway transportation in several regions of Russia, that negatively affects both goods safety rates and the cost of the transportation service itself. The comprehensive plan for modernization and enhancement of main transport infrastructure of the Russian Federation until 2024 involves creation of such transportation management systems that would not only ensure efficiency of delivery in the economic aspect but would also increase the system approach and reliability. It is proposed to consider mixed transportation systems as a form of organization of transportation systems. At the same time, the issues of methodology of classification and management of the transportation process in mixed systems acquire special relevance from the point of view of the choice of system management methods depending on the classification type of the system. The objective of the study is to develop the concept of «mixed transportation system» and a classification of mixed transportation systems in the field of cargo transportation.

A classification system for mixed transportation systems is suggested based on four basic criteria. The classification uses a systemic and process approach, which is associated with the features of organization of multimodal transportation. The hypothesis of the study is to further develop the methodology of «management by results» for mixed transportation systems.
