The object of research is the management of communication processes that occur between different stakeholders in project activities in the implementation of distributed environmental projects. The research is based on the application of the basic provisions of communication management in project management methodologies, including Green Project Management used to study the features and factors influencing individual processes in distributed environmental projects. The paper also applies the current provisions, methodological approaches to set theory and systems analysis (to formalize management processes, development of system models); classical and applied project management standards; expert evaluation methods for quantitative evaluation of criteria; methods of mathematical modeling, etc. The information base of the research is statistical data on the implementation of projects, the results of own research. The main hypothesis of the study is the assumption that a significant impact on the outcome of the implementation of distributed environmental projects is determined by the successful management of communications between stakeholders in the development and implementation of the project. Because the formation of an effective communication management mechanism in distributed environmental projects ensures the receipt of the project product with minimal risks. The interrelation of management of communications and interactions in the distributed projects and features of application of the concept of Green Project Management for management of nature protection projects is shown. Peculiarities of interaction management in distributed environmental projects are analyzed. The method of interaction management in nature distribution distributed projects is offered. The method of creation of a communication platform for realization of the coordinated management of communications in the distributed projects is offered. With the help of the method it is possible to coordinate the planned actions of the project participants on a set of compromise and related solutions to implement the tasks that are the best results of the project in accordance with the functions for benefits. It is shown to increase the efficiency of the interaction management process in distributed environmental projects to ensure effective communication in the interaction of stakeholders in distributed environmental projects under the condition of unclear information about the real state of the level of achievement of stakeholder expectations.

The object of this study is a reinforced three-layer transport pipe, which is subjected to the joint action of ambient temperature and static loading of the road subgrade soil. The analytical model for assessing the stressed-strained state of reinforced three-layer pipes, under the combined action of temperature and static loads, has been improved using the theory of elasticity. The stressed-strained state of the reinforced pipe was assessed taking into account the values of the joint action of temperature and loads from vehicles, the physical and mechanical parameters of structural materials, and the geometric parameters of the pipe. As a result of the calculation of the reinforced multilayer pipe, it was found that the maximum movements that occur on the outside of the defective pipe are 0.64 mm, the metal pipe – 0.75 mm, and in the concrete mortar (fine-grained concrete) – 0.69 mm. It was established that under the combined action of ambient temperature and static loads from the road subgrade soil, ring stresses are maximum. They are 151 MPa. Axial stresses are also high – 141 MPa. At the same time, the maximum radial stresses are the smallest – 37.4 MPa. It has been established that a small difference in displacements occurs on the contact of structural materials of the reinforced pipe. However, the magnitude of the stresses is high. The maximum difference in ring stresses was 73 MPa, while the difference in radial and axial stresses was up to 1.0 MPa. It has been established that to restore the bearing capacity of damaged reinforced concrete pipes, it is possible to use the repair technology by the method of "sleeving". It involves pulling a metal pipe into the middle of the layer damaged with concrete mortar remaining between the concrete defective and the new metal pipes.

The study, based on existing approaches to assessing the effectiveness of communication in educational projects, used a method to assess the effectiveness of communication of project stakeholders, the effectiveness of communication planning, the effectiveness of information dissemination, the effectiveness of managing project stakeholders' expectations and the effectiveness of implementation reports. The purpose of the work is to apply the method of evaluating the effectiveness of communication processes in educational and innovative research projects and to analyze the effectiveness of communication in the FKTBUM project. Research methods - project and program management methodologies; mechanisms of set theory, system and process analysis. The developed method of evaluating the effectiveness of communication processes in educational innovative research projects allows to evaluate the effectiveness of communication of project stakeholders, the effectiveness of communication planning, the effectiveness of information dissemination, the effectiveness of managing project stakeholders' expectations and the effectiveness of implementation reports. Thus, the results of the study were used to manage communications in the implementation of educational research innovative projects at the National Transport University in the implementation of the international project TEMPUS - "Fostering the Knowledge Triangle in Belarus, Ukraine and Moldova (FKTBUM) - Supporting the knowledge triangle in Belarus, Ukraine and Moldova" . The results of the project show that the efficiency of communication between NTU and international partners is 0.5 - 1.0, which characterizes the good result of the educational project after the communication process, between NTU and DerzhavtotransNDIproekt - 0.75, which corresponds to the level "given response / reaction to information received", Between NTU and the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine - 0.50, which corresponds to the level of " read the information". The results of the article can be implemented in the procedure of evaluating the effectiveness of communications in the formation of the required level of information exchange between stakeholders in the process of implementing innovative technologies in educational activities based on a value-oriented approach. Predictive assumptions about the development of the object of study - the development of a method of effective communication model in educational innovative research projects.

The effectiveness of the process of solving contemporary social problems is greatly enhanced by the application of models and methods of project management. Projects that have many stakeholders and project team members from various industries have gained considerable popularity and are called distributed. Higher education institutions often introduce “flexible projects” into the educational process, which, when preparing specialists for different industries, contribute to the formation of their respective competences. The process of implementing such projects goes through mini-cycles and involves a complex and extensive communication system, especially with the external environment. The purpose of the work is to choose the method of communication management in different types of projects. The features of communication management in flexible projects are defined in the article and the analysis of existing methods of communication on the example of environmental educational projects is carried out. The method of expert evaluation has identified effective methods of communication in flexible projects, namely educational, environmental and scientific, since the success of their implementation is the basis for the further formation of a stable internal environment of our country. For educational and scientific projects, the most effective are the written methods of communication, while the implementation of environmental projects, electronic communications are the most successful.

A project approach is used to address issues of improving educational processes. Implementation of educational innovative research projects is effective with the participation of a large number of stakeholders. Stakeholders include representatives of the state, business and community. The formation of common values, which are focused on quality education, for all groups of stakeholders will help to effectively implement educational innovative research projects. To do this, you need to create an appropriate communication model. Project communications consist of the processes of timely collection, dissemination, storage, receipt and use of information. One of the responsibilities of the project manager is to create a kind of intellectual space for the project stakeholders to discuss common tasks, goals and areas of interest. The purpose of communications management is to meet communication needs of project participants and solve communication problems in case of their occurrence. The success of a project depends on how different project team members and stakeholders interact with each other. With this end in view, a model of the relationship between stakeholders in educational projects was created; this model makes it  possible to manage different types of communication (formal and informal). The results of the study were used to manage communications in the implementation of educational innovative research projects at National Transport University (NTU) while carrying out the international TEMPUS project ‘Fostering the Knowledge Triangle in Belarus, Ukraine and Moldova’. The results of the project show that the efficiency of communications between NTU and international partners is 0.5 - 1.0, which indicates that the result of the educational innovative research project is good after the communication process. Thus, the developed model of communications management in educational innovative research projects allows determining the set of input and output parameters, constraints, control and uncontrolled variables in communication processes and is the basis for the management of formal and informal communication.
