Heading:PROBLEMS AND OPINIONS

Problems of application of agent-based modeling in customs affairs

Annotation. The article presents a set of problems of application of agent-based modeling in customs affairs. The thesis about advantages of agent-based modeling as a forecasting tool in comparison with other tools is substantiated. This statement is reasonably confirmed by scientific publications of foreign and Russian scientists, including publications of the author. The main advantage of agent-based modeling is determined by its adaptability to the dynamics of the external environment.

Application of the multi-agent model concept to obtain the optimal configuration of combined transport

Annotation. In the paper a multi-agent transportation model in considered in the context of multimodal and intermodal transport schemes. The elements and agents of the model are identified and described. The advantages of the multi-agent freight transportation model are shown and observed from a macro perspective of multiple freight operators’ integration. The process of decomposition and detailing of system components is considered.

Key words. Сombined transport, multi-agent models, transport optimization.

Transport and logistics coordination as a tool for increasing the adaptability of the country's economy to emergency situations

Annotation. The current turbulent political and economic situation is one of the great challenges facing the country. The logistics coordination system (SLK) is a powerful dual-use organizational and management tool. On the one hand, SLK increases the efficiency of the economy and reduces operational and investment logistics costs, on the other hand, it can improve the safety culture: help in the prevention of emergency risks and upgrade the quality emergency response management.

On expanding the conceptual apparatus of logistics: the aspect of logistics as a

Annotation. The differences in the concepts of «logistics service» and «service logistics» are shown. The logistics bush is characterized as the base of the ecosystem in the service sector. The objects of logistics management have been expanded, now including, along with the flows of ordinary objects, unique objects in the form of complex technical devices and works of art. The functions of logistics in its guise as a service are considered.

Key words. Logistics, service logistics, logistics service, movement of unique objects.

Problems of using agent-based modeling in the design of logistics systems

Annotation. The article presents the author's interpretation of the functionality of agent-based modeling as an information basis used in the design of logistics systems. A retrospective excursion into the theory of agent-based modeling is carried out, based on the results of which a conclusion is drawn about the presence of significant advantages of agent-based modeling relative to other methods for forecasting and planning logistics activities.

Quantitative methods of analysis in modern tourism research

The article discusses statistical and economic and mathematical methods used in domestic and foreign scientific research of the tourism sector. Examples of the most popular approaches were identified. A list of basic tasks is given, for the solution of which quantitative methods of analysis were used. A logical block diagram of conducting research in the field of tourism using a modern mathematical apparatus is proposed. Problems have been highlighted that create difficulties in connecting the broad scientific community to analytical and prognostic work in tourism.

Creation of a new tourism brand of Armenia

Annotation. In conditions of global reformatting of tourism and migration flows in the world, the proper supply of its huge potential will open up new opportunities to attract tourists from all over the world to Armenia. The article proposes new vision of Armenian brand with the disclosure of its true values.

Key words. Brand, tourism brand, tourism, country brand, Armenia.

Review of the article by V.M. Kurganov, M.V. Gryaznov, A.N. Dorofeev "Content analysis of historical sources in the study of logistics terminology"

Content analysis of historical sources in the study of logistics terminology

Annotation. The study reveals the origin of the term «logistics», understood as the management of material flows and stocks. The method of qualitative content analysis of authentic translations into Russian of historical documents, which are considered in educational and scientific literature, as sources of the name logistics, is used.
Key words. Logistics, terminology, content analysis, historical documents.

Digitalization of transport corridors In modern conditions

Annotation. Today, the development of transport corridors is connected not only with the improvement of the transport industry and infrastructure, but also with the introduction of digitalization in all its processes. The proposed article describes the algorithm of digitalization of existing and organization of new transport corridors, and offers suggestions for their modernization.
Key words. Transport corridor, digitalization, development, transportation, modern conditions, digital twins, transport industry.
