Abstract
The article considers the essence and components of transport infrastructure, there were analyzed the dynamics of passenger and freight turnover for all modes of transport, and identified favorable and unfavorable factors influencing the domestic transport infrastructure. Thus, in the period 2015–2020, the dynamics of freight and passenger traffic of all modes of transport differed significantly. The data of 2020 have undergone special changes due to the impact of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic. Different approaches to assessing the efficiency of transport infrastructure were considered: Logistics Performance Index (LPI – Logistics Performance Index), Global Competitiveness Index (GCI), Global Infrastructure Index, Infrastructure Index of Ukraine. The first two indices are calculated by international organizations. The Global Infrastructure Index has been proposed by a team of scientists, but is not calculated on an ongoing basis. The last approach, which provides for the calculation of the Infrastructure Index of Ukraine, was proposed only in 2020, so it takes into account indicators only for 2020 and does not provide for the reflection of changes in this index in the dynamics. The results of evaluation of these indices for the transport infrastructure of Ukraine were analyzed. Summarizing the results of the evaluation of the efficiency of the transport infrastructure of Ukraine, it currently demonstrates an average level of efficiency. A comparative analysis of these approaches was carried out. Thus, some approaches are assessing the infrastructure of the country as a whole, paying little attention to its transport component. Other approaches evaluate more than once every few years, which does not always take into account the current situation, which is changing rapidly. It was concluded that it is necessary to develop a single methodology for assessing the effectiveness of transport infrastructure, which would be consistent with international approaches and provide an opportunity to constantly monitor (annually) the dynamics of changes in transport infrastructure.
