Profit as Criterion for Cost Efficiency Evaluation of Loading and Transport Sets

Abstract

Increased demand for the construction of transport infrastructure is dictated by the low density of roads in Russia, the high level of congestion of the main ways today and in the future, and also the need for the development of international transport corridors. There are fundamental documents of various levels which are based on structural reforms that improve the economic efficiency of the transport operations and the quality of transport services. It is necessary to highlight the role of civil organizations in the modernization of transport infrastructure in the country. Timely and high-quality implementation of projects is possible with using the modern machines. However, economic and political unrests in the country promote the financial instability of the companies, which is an obstacle for planned updating and upgrade of the fixed assets. Therefore, the problem of increasing the efficiency of transport construction mechanization differs in enduring relevance. In this article the authors presents a methodology for evaluating the economic efficiency of the mechanized complexes by profit criterion in earthwork operations on linear objects. The methodology allows to make quick decisions when forming the feasibility study on the preliminary design stage of the object taking into account the most popular most popular in the construction market ways to attract technology.
