Abstract
Ukraine, due to its geographical position and developed transport infrastructure, has significant potential as a transit country, primarily in the supply chain of trade between Asia and Europe. According to the estimates of the British Institute for Transport Rendell Ukraine, the transit coefficient of Ukraine is 3,75 (with a maximum of 5); This is the best indicator among the countries of Europe (for comparison, in Poland, which occupies the second place, this indicator is 2,92).Nowadays, Ukraine uses its transit potential extremely insufficiently and inefficiently; over the past 10 years, the volume of transit traffic through the territory of Ukraine has declined by more than 2,5 times, primarily due to the fall in transit traffic by rail. One of the reasons for this situation is, of course, the general political and economic situation in the country. However, there are a number of other negative factors that prevent Ukraine from fully and effectively using its transit potential. These problems lie both in the purely technical plane (deterioration of transport infrastructure and rolling stock, lack of capacity of the main transport routes, underdevelopment of logistics terminals in the country and at land borders, difference in width with the European railway system) and the legislato-thick (high level of port dues, bureaucratization and regulation of customs procedures, lack of flexible tariff policy for carriers, etc.).
Highlights
Analyzing the problems of transport complex of Ukraine one can certainly denote that at present there is a practical absence of methods for optimal distribution of capital investments directed at the development of fixed assets of transport system, in particular the railway transport
In connection with the above there arises a task of effective distribution of capital investments directed at improving transportation process on railway grounds, first of all in international transport corridors
The concept of sustainable development of complex systems makes it possible to take into account the multitude of directions of their operation in a comprehensive and systemic way
Summary
Analyzing the problems of transport complex of Ukraine one can certainly denote that at present there is a practical absence of methods for optimal distribution of capital investments directed at the development of fixed assets of transport system, in particular the railway transport. Significant wear-out of rolling stock and infrastructure objects, the absence of new generation means of transport, the low speed of movement as well as insufficient level of service lead to the reduction of efficiency of the country’s transport complex functioning and appear a serious obstacle to its integration into the European and world transport system. The solution of problems of the country’s transport complex lies in the complex and systemic approach that should contribute to [1]: - creation of favorable conditions for the attraction of additional freight traffic for the transport system of the country; - increase of competitiveness of railway transport both on internal and external markets of transport services; - increase of the level of economic and social welfare of the industry staff; - support of environmental conservation.
