Multimodal freight transportation as a direction of ensuring sustainable development of the transport system of Ukraine

Abstract

The article analyzes the dynamics and structure of freight transport in Ukraine. It is established that container transportation in Ukraine occupies a small share in the total volume of cargo transportation compared to EU countries. In order to optimize the realization of trade, economic and transit potential of the country, multimodal schemes of cargo transportation are considered. One of the key issues in ensuring the sustainable development of the country’s transport system is to reduce emissions of CO2 and other pollutants. To achieve a set of environmental goals in Ukraine, it is necessary to intensify the formation of a sustainable transport system based on the development of multimodal container transportation with the involvement of “clean” modes of transport, primarily rail. Conceptual requirements for the formation of an environmentally sustainable system of multimodal container transportation in Ukraine are determined. Based on the calculations of the scenario, it was proved that the development of container rail transportation allows to obtain environmental and economic effects as a result of reducing CO2 emissions.

“…As a result of the conducted researches [51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60], it was established that for the effective functioning of the logistics infrastructure of industrial waste management (IWM) in the Kyiv region in the context of the paradigms of "green" growth, circular economy and sustainable development, it is advisable to apply a complex approach (Figure). Its essence consists in the integration of the principles of transformation of the industrial waste management system, the implementation of the reverse logistics algorithm, the main components of the organizational and economic mechanism (functions, methods, management tools, information systems, digital, "green" and innovative technologies), financial instruments of green investment for the implementation regional industrial waste management strategy.…”

Uncertain Programming Model for the Cross-Border Multimodal Container Transport System Based on Inland Ports

“…There have been a number of models focusing on multimodal container transport systems that consider different indicators [16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. For instance, Jiang et al [16] established a theoretical basis for the related exploration of multimodal container transportation.…”

“…In order to describe the optimal organization problem, an optimization model based on dynamic programming was presented and was satisfied with reality constraints [18]. Hryhorak et al [19] analyzed the dynamics and structure of freight transport in Ukraine. Containerized commodity transportation schemes are highly efficient for the majority of transcontinental and long-distance deliveries optimizing costs, and time quality of transport operations based on exact forecasting of container turnover.…”

“…The modeling of multimodal container transport systems has been the subject of a sizable body of research [16][17][18][19][20][21], but the cross-border multimodal container transport systems based on inland ports have received less attention. By combining the amount of carbon emissions with the carbon tax, this study also proposes a more precise method for estimating the cost of carbon emissions.…”

Modeling as a tool of strategic development of the regional logistics system

“…x -a factor of scientific and technological progress and innovation; t -time factor;  , -parameters of economic efficiency of the use of factors of production in ensuring economic growth; coefficients of elasticity;  -growth rates of production volumes as a result of the influence of unidentified factors (institutional, scientific and technical, innovation, logistics [57][58][59][60][61][62][63], market, marketing [64][65][66][67], investment and financial, environmental, information, etc.). Approbation of models of economic growth of the regional logistics system [68][69][70][71][72] (in this case on the example of the Black Sea economic region) is carried out on the basis of indicators of changes in production volumes and factors of production for 2012-2020, which are given in Table 1.…”
