Formation of a procedure to assess transport technologies on the principles of qualimetry

Railway transport takes a leading position in terms of cargo turnover among all types of transport on the the Ukrainian territories. However, the economic development focus to the market of Ukrainian transport services specifies the development of cargo transportation using several types of transport. Therefore, the analysis of intermodal cargo transportation has shown that at present they pay insufficient attention to the issues of effective implementation of these transportation types in Ukraine and the issues with regard to the transport technologies assessment remain not considered. The paper defines the level of various transport technologies with the method of expert assessment to determine the weight coefficients. The results of forming a procedure to determine the assessment of transport technologies based on the transportation costs optimization with respect to the qualimetric indicator are presented. According to the results of the carried study, a general procedure to assess the transport technologies for cargo delivery at the landfill was formed on the principles of qualimetry. The procedure, unlike existing approaches, allows taking into account a complex of factors that have influence on the choice of transport technology. A graphical representation of the choice of transport technologies clearly demonstrates the area of effective usage of each of them that makes quite clear understanding the choice of the necessary transport technology for users.
