Abstract
In the article, the author’s vision on forming of multimodal cargo transportation systems is suggested. It is proposed to develop conceptual considerations on formation and practical recommendations regarding the choice of the optimal cargo delivery schemewhich includes air transport.
Highlights
Under the terms of market relations, transport industry faces the challenges of speeding cargo delivery and minimization of transportation cost
International experience of cargo traffic management on both macro- and micro level shows that creation of multimodal transport systems is a promising direction of cost minimization and cooperation of the participants of cargo transportation process (Ariefiev, 2007)
Multimodal cargo transportation system is an integrated and interrelated transportation system that is functionally aimed at speeding, cost-cutting and simplification of technological procedures along the whole “door-to-door” supply chain under organizational and technological interaction of all links in the transportation process
Summary
Under the terms of market relations, transport industry faces the challenges of speeding cargo delivery and minimization of transportation cost. International experience of cargo traffic management on both macro- and micro level shows that creation of multimodal transport systems is a promising direction of cost minimization and cooperation of the participants of cargo transportation process (Ariefiev, 2007). Such a type of transport systems allows transformation of competing transport modes into cooperating transport modes and is an efficient mean of cooperation for technical, operating and technological abilities of all participants in the supply chain. Participation of air transport in multimodal international joint cargo transportation enables speeding cargo dispatch and increasing efficiency, quality and development of foreign economic relations
