Heading:PROBLEMS AND OPINIONS

Dry ports – key infrastructure facilities of international importance

Annotation. High-quality transport infrastructure is one of the key elements of the modern economy. Currently, the development of transport infrastructure is of particular importance in the context of globalization of transport processes. This article discusses the concept of «dry port», the prospects for the development of such facilities in different countries. In addition the problem of lack of common terminology is mentioned.

Key words. Transport infrastructure, transport object, «dry port».

Impact of St. Petersburg ports and Leningrad region on the economy of the region and Russia (Part I)

Annotation. In this article the dynamics of cargo turnover of sea ports of St. Petersburg and Leningrad region is considered for the period from 1999 to 2018, the impact of the activity of these seaports on the importance of the domestic regional product and Russia's GDP was studied.

Key words. Dynamics of cargo turnover, sea ports of the Baltic basin, GRP, GDP of Russia.

Study of the state and problems of the road freight transport development in Primorsky Krai

Annotation. The article discusses the state, problems and prospects for the development of road transport of goods in the Primorsky Territory. Cargo turnover, traffic volumes, length and density of roads in the region are analyzed. Problems are identified and proposals are being developed for their elimination and the further development of road transport of goods in the region.

Key words. Road transportation of goods, cargo turnover, transportation volumes, length of roads, problems, prospects, recommendations.

Key factors of process engineering in transport and logistics systems

Annotation. Methods of using process engineering and digital technologies are global in nature, creating new opportunities for the system transformation of transport and logistics systems (TLS). The work highlights key factors associated with managing the full life cycle (LC) of an enterprise (system), products, services, and resources, and transforming the process architecture based on an integrated approach.

Unmanned aerial vehicles – cost-effective solution to transport problems

Annotation. In recent years, unmanned aerial vehicles have become widespread all over the world. In the article their capabilities, comparative advantages, limitations, economic efficiency, national characteristics and unsolved problems are considered.

Key word. Unmanned aerial vehicles, technical characteristics, commercial operation, cargo transportation.

On the construction of logistics infrastructure in the territory of the Russian Federation

Annotation. The article proposed a methodological approach to the formation of the logistics infrastructure within a Russian Federation's region. The approach includes two stages. At the initial stage, districts and region's cities are determined where it is advisable to locate key objects of the logistics infrastructure. At the second stage, they are geo-referenced on the ground based on the mathematical models developed by the author.

The main results of optimization of the composition of the garbage trucks fleet to transport municipal solid waste

Annotation. The article presents the main results of the first stage of choosing a garbage truck for the adopted system of solid waste management (TBO) by load capacity class.

Analysis of the logistics concept development in the historical aspect: from the immanent knowledge to the ecological paradigm

Annotation. The article deals with the background and sequence of formation of fundamental paradigms of logistics, implementing the classical approach to logistics as a theoretical science. The main provisions of the paradigm of environmental responsibility of the participants of the logistics process from the sources of material flow to the collection and processing of residual streams of industrial and municipal solid waste are formulated.

Key words. Logistics, paradigm logistics, concept of logistics, logistics system.

The overview of modeling methods and tools to study the logistic processes of troops (forces) maintenance supply

Annotation. The development of the technological aspect of system modeling is provided by both general and multivariate, complex studies of difficult systems, which, of course, are related to the processes of material and technical support of troops (forces). The task of mathematical modeling of logistics processes on the basis of combined approaches is to ensure the activities of military officials at various levels. This article briefly discusses the need to use analytic-simulation models for researching processes of material and technical supply of troops (forces).

The economic rationale for logistics solutions

Annotation. The article deals with the methodological approach to the study of the economic justification of the planning and operation of logistics systems, offers some solutions.

Key word. Logistics systems, economic justification, mathematical modeling, solutions.
