Abstract
The determination of the coach terminal as passenger logistics hub is described. The factors responsible for successful functioning of this hub are discussed. The location of the coach terminal is one of the important factors. The present coach terminal is located in the heart of the city where land availability is critical. The simulation model of the terminal was developed to complement the design and construction of a new one. The used simulation package VISSIM has visual reference to assist in explaining the complexity of transport node's job and analysis of possible congestions. During the development of the modelling the critical bottlenecks are identified and decisions are taken to reduce the risk of their occurrence, the solution being immediately incorporated into the final design of the coach terminal under development.

During the development of the modelling the critical bottlenecks are identified and decisions are taken to reduce the risk of their occurrence, the solution being immediately incorporated into the final design of the coach terminal under development
By definition a coach terminal is a linear construction consisting of specific buildings, platforms and a territory for the rendering of services to passengers and coaches during the routes
To ensure an effective operation of such a linear construction, to be able to render high quality services both to passengers and to haulers in conformity with their needs, the functions and operational activities of a coach terminal have to be evaluated on a larger scale
Summary
By definition a coach terminal is a linear construction consisting of specific buildings, platforms and a territory for the rendering of services to passengers and coaches during the routes. Today in many countries coach terminals that were built in the middle of the previous century need to be reconstructed or built anew, in conformity with the current requirements for transport development From this point of view it is especially important to select such a location where a coach terminal would be able to fulfil the functions of a passenger hub of logistics but in future . Development of travel industry; movement of labour force; visa facilitation, e.g. non-visa entry for the EU citizens to the Ukraine etc., considerably increases the demand for international traffic Even such factors as the operation of low-cost airlines, creating as if a competition for the in-. For participants of external traffic: pedestrians, bicyclists, taxis, users of personal cars, urban public transport: 2.1. pavements, crossings; 2.2. access roads; 2.3. organisation of getting on/getting off; 2.4. parking places
