LOGISTICS OF PASSENGER TRANSPORTATION: FEATURES AND BASIC CONCEPTS
Abstract
Logistical approaches to organization of passenger transportation in Russia have taken practical shape quite recently. Basic terms of passenger logistics continue to be formed and still are interpreted differently. To ensure effective work in this area it is necessary to formulate common concepts and describe distinctive features of transportation, organized on the basis of logistic principles. The article deals with concepts such as territorial mobility of population, mobility of passengers, logistics of passenger transportation, logistic chain of passenger movement, passenger transport system, multi-modal transportation in passenger traffic, intermodal transportation in passenger traffic.
