The Model of Managing the Risk Component of Intermodal Transportations Based on New Information and Communication Technologies Within Optimization of Transport Logistics of a Modern Company

Abstract

The purpose of the work is to determine the influence of various types of transport and intermodal transportations on effectiveness of transport logistics of a modern company and to develop a model of managing the risk component of intermodal transportations on the basis of new ICT within optimization of transport logistics of a modern company. It is achieved with the method of regression analysis in two stages. At the first stage, the influence of the share of intermodal transportations on export activity, easiness of doing business, and effectiveness of logistics in different countries is determined. At the second stage, the influence of different types of transport on effectiveness of logistics is evaluated. At that, the authors use the official statistical materials of the World Bank and the OECD for 2016. The objects of the research are leaders as to the volumes of export of goods in 2016 – China, the USA, Germany, and Japan (in the correct order), and Russia. It is concluded that intermodal transportations ensure increase of effectiveness of transport logistics of a modern company and are more preferable than one type of transport, and application of new ICT opens wide possibilities and new perspectives in the sphere of solving the problem of managing the risk component of these transportations. For that, the authors’ model of managing the risk component of intermodal transportations on the basis of new ICT is offered within optimization of transport logistics of a modern company, which shows that transfer of managerial processes into the electronic form and their automatization allows reducing all main risks of intermodal transportations.
