Competitiveness Of Transport Companies Research Articles

Developing a diversification strategy logistics services

In the context of global economic instability, the effects of pandemic constraints and current geopolitical challenges, the competitiveness of transport companies, especially in the rail transport sector, is imbalanced. The search for new solutions in response to the transformation of the transport market, shaped by the trend of general economic and geopolitical processes, lies in the implementation of a diversification strategy. This fact makes it relevant to review the strategic and integrated solutions of domestic freight transport operators, and in particular the need to adapt to current market realities, logistics services, the possibility of using resource spillover tools by optimising structural transformations in the service sector. These factors have had a predetermining influence on the essence of diversification for a concentrated division of logistics and transport services, the identification of customer demand levels and the development of a comprehensive marketing strategy to market specific transport products. The main purpose of this article is to identify a set of factors that have identifying the range of logistics tools and elements of marketing communications in the expansion of transport services, identifying the level of their quantitative and qualitative indicators, while based on modern tools of digital technology and modern advances in technology and innovation.

МАРШРУТИЗАЦИЯ ГРУЗОВЫХ ПЕРЕВОЗОК В МУЛЬТИМОДАЛЬНЫХ ТРАНСПОРТНЫХ СЕТЯХ

Multimodal transportation is widely used for trade between different regions and countries. The cost of international logistics is approximately 30-50% of all production costs of enterprises. Reducing transport costs allows you to increase profits and maintain the competitiveness of transport companies in the global market. Thus, optimization of routes in a multimodal transport network is an actual direction for research. An analytical review of the problem of planning routes for multimodal freight transportation is presented from the point of view of formulating a model

The innovative activities improving competitiveness of transport companies

The article refers to the challenges aimed at identifying decisions that translate into optimization in the TFL industry, on the example of selected activities of transport companies. Awareness of high competitiveness should influence the well-thought-out directions of development of business owners and managerial staff in the context of creating the company's distinguishing features. They should be viewed on a global scale in order to increase profit and optimize costs. The article shows a direct connection between optimal patterns of action and the undertaken non-intuitive and innovative activities with the possible development of market niches. The publication draws attention to the multi-threaded and above-standard strategies chosen by selected road transport employers.

Digitalization of The Transport Industry in The Context of Globalization of The World Economy

Research background: The article reveals the nature and mechanisms of the influence of the digital economy on the development of the transport industry in the world. The prerequisites for researching the problems of digitalization in the transport sector are determined by several factors. Firstly, the use of digital technologies is especially evident in the transport sector. Secondly, it is the efficiency of using the latest technological achievements that determines the competitiveness of transport companies. Purpose of the article: The aim of the study of this topic is to identify the most significant manifestations of the impact of digitalization on the transport sector, trends and the nature of this impact. Methods: The methodology of the work is to use the method of scientific abstraction, analysis of facts and observation of the real existing picture, as well as induction and deduction to determine the relationship of concepts in general to individual cases. The authors of the study identified the key components of the digitalization process of the economy, and identified those that have the greatest impact on the transport sector. The article contains an analysis of the existing experience of transport digitalization, the consequences of this process. Also in this article, the authors made their forecast for the further development of transport digitalization processes. Findings & Value added: The main result of the study was the conclusion that the objective need of the transport industry for new innovative developments is very high. The economic effect, that the introduction of transport sector digital technologies, brings, is obvious and tangible.

ЦИФРОВІ ТЕХНОЛОГІЇ ЯК ІНСТРУМЕНТ ПОКРАЩЕННЯ ОПЕРАЦІЙНОЇ ДІЯЛЬНОСТІ ТРАНСПОРТНИХ ПІДПРИЄМСТВ

The introduction of digital technologies by business entities and their impact on the operational activities and financial discipline of transport companies in the fourth digital revolution are studied. Industry 4.0 is a fully automated production with real-time control. The sphere of transport in Industry 4.0 is characterized by the following processes of digitalization development: use of big data and cloud technologies; robotics development; the spread of the IoT; blockchain; crowdsourcing. Today, the next direction of digital technologies in transport is being developed, such as traffic control automation. The introduction and use of information technology to manage operational activities in transport enterprises is a control over the condition and location of vehicles, cargo or drivers on the basis of GPS-technologies and on- board computer systems. The next direction of introduction of digital technologies in transport is the use of electronic logistics. The financial discipline of transport enterprises is carried out by various digital technologies that analyze and control the activities of enterprises, namely: electronic data interchange (EDI), FMS fleet management system, electronic financial transactions, CCTV cameras, cataloged databases. The competitiveness of transport companies is now inextricably linked with the use of digital technologies in operational activities and to ensure financial discipline, it is effective to: stimulate the transition to payment information and electronic circulation of invoices between companies; creation of electronic files which will allow to keep the detailed account of all components of work of the transport enterprise; for the effective application of digital technologies for the development of "electronic skills"; use of Digital Data, Big data, blockchain, crowdsourcing and other technologies.

The System Evaluation of Passenger Station Travelers Satisfaction

With economic development, abundant modes of transport, the quality of people's in demand for travel gradually increases ,and therefore optimizing and improving passenger station service system seems imperative. In order to improve the quality of passenger service, we shall establish a scientific and reasonable evaluation system, through the terminal passenger satisfaction evaluation to determine whether passenger service to make visitors satisfied and propose specific measures to improve service quality for lower service satisfaction. In this paper, Hohhot, as an example, we conducted evaluation studies for passenger station service, and put forward the corresponding improvement suggestions to improve passenger satisfaction, but also proved the feasibility and practicability of the model established in terms of passenger station’s travelers satisfaction evaluation. The study not only can improve the competitiveness of transport companies but also conducive to the future development of the passenger market.
