Формування умов ефективного функціонування транспортної системи автотранспортного підприємства

Road transport enterprises must constantly pay attention to increasing the efficiency of the production of quality transport services, in accordance with the requirements and expectations of consumers. During the production and provision of transport services, the flow of production processes in the transport system, problems often arise in the external and internal environment of the enterprise, which require a mandatory solution. The most common problems include the following: non-compliance of technical means with the requirements and expectations of service consumers in terms of the quality of passenger service, ensuring the necessary conditions for cargo transportation; significant negative impact of the transport process on the natural environment; not fully ensuring the safety of passenger transportation and ensuring the safety of traffic on the roads; imperfection of the system, methods, mechanism of planning and monitoring of transportation processes; imperfection of regulatory and legal regulation and control of the technical condition of vehicles in the organization of transportation; the level of driver training is not always sufficient. When conducting research on the organization of transport processes and ensuring traffic safety on roads, the enterprise must use a methodical approach to evaluate the process of production of transport services, the functioning of the enterprise's production process, which must include three main stages: development of indicators and mechanisms for evaluating the flow of processes; assessment of the efficiency of the transportation process; analysis of assessment results and development of measures to improve service production processes. The main tasks of improving the processes of service production are the formation of the transport system of the enterprise, which includes: transport flows, personnel and technical support of transport, road environment in the transport zone. The transport system and all its constituent parts must be provided with means of monitoring and mechanisms of influence and improvement of the processes of production of transport services. The process of improving the functioning of the enterprise's transport system should be conducted in three important directions: monitoring the transport process, studying and analysing the service market and taking into account the requirements and expectations of consumers, using calculation methods to determine negative impacts on the process and developing measures and mechanisms to prevent them.

MANAGEMENT MODELING OF TRANSPORT ORGANIZATIONS WITH THE APPLICATION OF RATING APPROACHES

The task of a transportation system is to ensure the safe and efficient delivery of goods and transportation of passengers. Effective management of transport systems is aimed not only at ensuring the optimal passage of all processes within such systems. The main task in this case is to create conditions capable of ensuring the mobility of the population and the volume of cargo transportation which will meet the objectives of economic development. Thus, the degree of efficiency of the transport system can be determined on the basis of its ability to ensure a balance between economic requirements and social demands, which often contradict each other. Features of transport system management organization: spatial location of system elements on a large territory, the need to strictly observe technological functions affecting the safety of transportation, one-man management, dispatching and discipline in the organization of transport processes, close interaction and mutual dependence of all elements of the transport system.
 The paper considers the task of interaction between the control center and the objects in the transport system. The mechanisms of rating evaluations are applied. The illustration of the structural scheme, on the basis of which the mechanisms of rating management are implemented, is given. The results have demonstrated the efficiency of the approaches used. They can be used in evaluating the performance of a wide range of transportation systems.

Detailed conclusions and comments contained in the article may be used to improve the applicable transport procedures.

UNIFORM PRINCIPLES OF ORGANIZATION OF RAIL FREIGHT TRANSPORTATION OPERATIONS

Improving the operational efficiency of transport is one of the main catalysts for raising the quality of life and socio-economic development. The prevailing global trends are aimed at establishing logistic chains from producers to consumers. The cross-border movement of world production within the framework of globalization, the deepening of integration processes between countries highlight the issues of developing a methodology for planning and evaluating international transport corridors from various points of view, and economic, technical, social, environmental and other aspects. The urgent issue is the harmonization of the technical and regulatory framework for the organization of «seamless» transportation, the synchronization of the technological cycles of various modes of transport, including operation of multimodal transport hubs. A large number of studies are dedicated to the modelling and control of traffic flows, new methods of forecasting the transport situation using the results of computer dynamic transport modelling, analysis of existing infrastructure resources and elimination of bottlenecks in the existing railway system (including through the expansion of the railway network and innovative methods of traffic control).Hence the achievement of target parameters of efficiency of production activity of all participants in railway transportations is possible through qualitative changes in the system of the organization of transportation process, the objective of the research was to study technological aspects of improvement of quality of functioning of the transport system in relation to activity of the Russian railways.The research applied methods of system analysis of scientific and technical data and technical and economic indicators of complex systems.The issues of implementation of end-to-end principles of transportation process management are considered, the concept of «technological polygon of transportation process management» is expanded. The analysis and grouping of methods for improving the efficiency of railway transport was carried out with regard to improving the operation quality indicators and refined model of rolling stock management, increasing the efficiency of the use of traction equipment, profiling of railway itineraries in respect of the preferred types of traffic, establishing sections well-provided for safe passage of freight trains and synchronized with the operation ranges of locomotives, organizing freightage in wagons withincreased axle load, removing barriers and restrictions in the power supply sector, etc.The transition to the «polygon» model of the organization of the technological process, the unification and optimization of the use of available resources, and, as a result, the reduction of risks of losses from transportation, service provision and unplanned use of resources are effective tools to improve the quality of rail operations.
