Abstract

The article deals with the peculiarities of domestic and foreign experience hubs. The object of study - the process of multimodal transport hubs in traffic. The purpose of the work - in analyzing the domestic and foreign experience of transport nodes to identify ways to improve multimodal transport nodes. The research method is analytical. The most important structural unit of multimodal transport systems are multimodal transport nodes. By the term multimodal transport hub (MTH) understand the geographical point of docking and interaction of several types of transport, through which multimodal transportation is carried out. Such a hub may combine the railway stations connecting their railways, sea and river ports, airports, stations, highways, terminal and intermediate objects of main pipelines, and municipal transport networks. The infrastructure of the MTH includes warehouses and cargo terminals with traffic control and distribution centers, customs clearance facilities, transport insurance, organizations representing freight forwarding and banking services. In the analysis of domestic and foreign experience of transport hub, it was discovered that transport nodes are the bridgeheads of organizational-technical and technological interaction of different types of transport, implementation of multimodal transportations on logistic principles. The capacity of transport hubs in Ukraine is at a critical point. In modern conditions, the power of transport hubs is not sufficient for the volume of freight traffic, including and transit grew. In order to eliminate "bottlenecks" in transport hubs of Ukraine, it is necessary to improve the technical and operational capabilities of the infrastructure objects, their technical re-equipment and modernization. The results of the work can be applied to develop measures for the improvement of multimodal transport hubs. Foreseeable assumptions about the development of the research object - the search for ways to improve multimodal transport hubs. KEY WORDS: MULTIMODAL TRANSPORTATION, MULTIMODAL TRANSPORT HUBS, WAYS OF CONNECTION.
