PROSPECTS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF PASSENGER TRANSPORTATION LOGISTICS INFRASTRUCTURE: ORGANIZATIONAL, TECHNOLOGICAL AND ECONOMIC ASPECTS

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the issue of further development of the logistics infrastructure of passenger transportation in Ukraine. It is determined that the development of passenger transportation infrastructure should be carried out taking into account the needs of the population in high-quality, safe and comfortable services. The need for the formation of a single passenger space by integrating different types of transport and taking into account the requests of the population is substantiated. Further improvement of the passenger transportation system should occur through the use of innovative and technological solutions that will ensure increased economic and social efficiency of the transport services market. Examples of implemented projects of interaction between modes of transport in the organization of passenger transportation, which ensured an increase in the economic and social efficiency of the transport services market in Ukraine, are considered. Taking into account domestic and foreign experience in organizing passenger transportation in the «airport-railway station» connection, the technical and technological characteristics of the Odessa International Airport as a strategic transport hub of the southern region of Ukraine were considered. The dynamics of passenger traffic at the Odessa International Airport in the pre-war period were analyzed. The state of the connection system between the Odesa International Airport and the Odessa railway station was studied. The results of the analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of existing passenger transportation options in the analyzed connection system were represented. In order to improve passenger transport services and ensure convenient transfers from one mode of transport to another, a project to ensure uninterrupted and convenient movement of passengers between the railway station and the airport was considered. The implementation of the proposed organizational, technological and infrastructure solutions for the passenger transportation system is economically justified and strategically important for the development of the Odessa International Airport, increasing its competitiveness and ensuring the overall efficiency of transport logistics in the region. A comparison of the level of comfort for passengers using existing and proposed transportation options was carried out.
