Abstract

Without exaggeration, the fundamental global problem of humanity and, accordingly, the world's countries is environmental. At the same time, one of the keys to its solution involves reducing the negative impact of transport with internal combustion engines and gradually abandoning it by developing environmentally friendly transport. This study aims to analyze publications on the management of environmentally friendly transport and attention to this issue in recent years. The Google Trends tool confirmed the hypothesis that public interest in this problem persisted during the studied period, with the peak occurring in 2007-2009. As for publications on environmentally friendly transport management, according to the Scopus database, the study's results showed their rapid growth, which once again proves the relevance of this problem. At the same time, the geographic centres of research turned out to be China and the USA. The total number of publications by scientists from these countries is more than a third of the total number. Only 15 publications by Ukrainian scientists were found, which should encourage the domestic scientific community to expand the range of scientific research on this issue. The result obtained regarding the sectoral structure of scientific publications is also interesting: the highest percentage is attributed to engineering, in second place - ecology, in third place - social sciences and computer sciences. According to the authors, the conduct of interdisciplinary research on the problems of management of environmentally friendly transport will allow a systematic approach to their solution. The terminological map built with the help of the VOSviewer toolkit made it possible to visualize the relationships of the vital concept of "management of environmentally friendly transport" with other concepts and categories, as well as their closeness, highlighting the main research clusters. The authors found the closest relationship between the concepts of "management of environmentally friendly transport", and "sustainable development" and "environmental management". The following two are identified as one of the most trending areas of modern research on this topic: "smart city" and "internet of things".
