Abstract

Optimal configuration of a regional transport and logistics system should be chosen from the standpoint of the goal of regional development, the environmental component of decision-making, and according to the criteria that determine the advantages and disadvantages of a particular mode of transport. The article outlines the main approaches to appreciation of the comparative advantages of certain modes of transport, and transport and logistics systems. The factors influencing the development of transport and industries on the region's economy have been identified. Based on the data obtained from statistics, regional economics, relevant ministries and agencies, as well as rom scientific research carried out by the authors earlier, the results of the research into advantages of the main types of transport have been provided for a number of indicators used in the justification of regional transport systems in line with the problems to be solved. The article provides a step-by-step methodology for assessing the comparative advantages of inland waterway transport. The method of hierarchy analysis to justify the type of transport is recommended, which will lead to the faster achievement of the goal set by the subject, or to identification of the priority way to achieve the management goal and develop the transport and logistics system in the region.
