Information and communication technologies are becoming an increasingly important part of everyday life, as they facilitate many activities, mainly in the world of work, but also in scientific research and education. At present, informatics is one of the fastest growing sectors of the national economy. This development has had a significant impact on improving the quality of transport and transportation processes. The article is focused on the railway transport. It deals with the possibilities of planning the shifts of the train personnel and circulation of the vehicles. It describes the background of the topic. The scientific acquittance lies on the methodology proposed by authors. It presents a new idea of creating the shifts and circulations while being based on the current state and mathematical methods.

The integrated development of urban and rural areas is the best way to promote agricultural and rural construction and achieve rural revitalization in the new era and promote the equal exchange and two-way flow of urban and rural elements. The coupling coordinated development of urban-rural logistics has opened the channel for “selling agricultural products to the cities, while selling industrial products to the countryside,” thereby laying a solid foundation for the two-way flow of factors between urban and rural areas. Therefore, it is essential to measure the grey correlation between the coupling coordination degree of urban-rural logistics and the integrated development level of urban and rural areas, analyze the key factors affecting the urban-rural integrated development, and put forward measures to promote it. First, this paper constructs an index system of coupling coordination degree; then it measures the coupling coordinated development level of urban-rural logistics using the coupling coordination degree model. Second, it constructs an index system and measures the urban-rural integrated development level using the entropy method and comprehensive weighted method. Finally, it quantitatively measures the grey correlation degree between the coupling coordination degree of urban-rural logistics and the integrated development level of urban and rural areas using the grey correlation analysis method. The results reveal that the coupling coordinated development level of urban-rural logistics has improved and the urban-rural integrated development level has had a significant upward trend. The factors in the subsystems of urban-rural logistics, such as economic environment, logistics infrastructure, logistics informatization level, logistics demand level, and logistics human resources, have an excellent effect on promoting the urban-rural integrated development.

This study attempts to identify urban air logistics (UAL) operational concepts by synthesizing the urban freight transport (UFT) network configurations and urban air mobility (UAM) characteristics. UAL is gaining popularity as a quick and safe mode that has the potential to address several logistics challenges. This study has reviewed scientific papers identified using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) framework to understand the features of existing UFT distribution networks, unmanned aerial systems (UAS), and UAM. The cross analysis considered UFT features such as the parcel’s weight, delivery type (time sensitivity, customer-to-customer, business-to-consumer, or business-to-business), and UFT distribution network types and compared them against the features of UAS such as maximum take-off weight, range, and infrastructure requirements (drone ports). The analysis identified three types of UAL operational concepts: door-to-door direct (D2DD), hybrid, and multimodal. Lightweight deliveries can be operated using D2DD and hybrid through point-to-point (P-P) and extended P-P network concepts. The hybrid concept uses an intermediate drop-off location to deliver goods. Hub-and-spoke (H-S), extended H-S, and trunk line with collecting/distribution network designs can be used for heavyweight cargo operations. D2DD versus hybrid/multimodal concepts were compared based on six thematic clusters (societal implications, safety and security, ethics, environmental issues, public acceptance, and urban planning and infrastructure). This study identified that technological development and innovation could reduce social implications and ethical challenges. Furthermore, public willingness and economic feasibility will determine the success of the operational concepts. The identified UAL operational concepts, network designs, and challenges will help to conduct further research in this subject area.
