APPLIED METHODS AND RESULTS OF COMPUTATION OF ELASTICITY OF DEMAND RELATIVE TO TRANSPORTATION QUALITY
Abstract
Market demand for carriage depends on a variety of factors which can be divided into two groups: controlled factors (freight tariff, quality of transportation service) and uncontrolled factors (emergencies, accidents, fluctuations of market conditions).The objective of the present article is to assess the impact of quality on demand for transportation. The system of quality indices establishes balance of interests of operators and customers of transport services. This balance permits operators to raise quality of their services in advance, and allows customers to protect their rights on the basis of the rules established by contracts and standards. But in order to determine the impact of a single factor it is necessary to eliminate other factors, which are relevant and admissible for forecasting.
