Scientific foundations for enhancing the efficiency of implementing integrated intelligent technologies in the transport and logistics process of freight delivery

The research is aimed at developing methods to assess and optimize the efficiency of the transportation process as part of integration into a unified intelligent transport system of the country. The purpose of integrating into the intelligent transport systems is to unite all the participants of the transport process into a single, highly organized network. Efficient management of logistics processes is impossible without such interaction, as each element of the chain plays its own unique role and requires constant communication with the other participants. With the coordinated interaction of all the links in the chain, there arises the possibility to reduce time and financial costs, improve the quality and perform transport work more accurately. The study (1) forms the scientific basis to improve the efficiency of implementing integrated intelligent technologies in the transportation and technological process of cargo delivery, which is based on the dependence of the road transport performance on the parameters of highways; (2) offers a developed algorithm for an integrated assessment of the transportation process efficiency and a complex model to form an integral criterion for assessing the efficiency of the transportation process with due account of the operating parameters of highways; (3) a hypothesis regarding the priority influence of the transport infrastructure parameters on the performance of road transport has been proved; (4) a model of the physical architecture of the intelligent system for organizing the transportation process has been created; (5) a programme has been developed that allows to design a route for freight transport based on the given weight parameters of the cargo and the optimization function.
