Systemic aspects of ensuring the efficiency of sitilogistics

The study is devoted to the analysis of systemic aspects of ensuring the effective implementation of the concept of city logistics, which consists in improving the quality and comfort of life of the urban population. In the context of a systemic approach, city logistics is considered as a system, the main components of which are the urban mobility subsystem, as well as the safety and environmental friendliness subsystems of the urban environment. The purpose of the study is to form a systemic approach to the implementation of the concept of city logistics as a complex socio-economic system, and to ensure its effectiveness. The subject of the study is the process of forming a balance between the constituent subsystems of city logistics, which, as a result, increases the level of comfort and creates a healthy life in the city. The study uses the method of systems analysis to structure the city logistics system according to its main components, as well as modeling processes in the city logistics system, which allows determining the relationships between its above-mentioned constituent elements, taking into account their structure (key elements), purpose, functions and development dynamics. Key areas of development of the city logistics system have been identified, including: investments in the development of sustainable types of mobility (pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure, public and ecological transport); development of safe infrastructure for all traffic participants; creation of «green» zones and reduction of the impact of transport on the environment. The practical significance of the work lies in the possibility of using mathematical expressions developed on the basis of system analysis, which provide for the introduction of quantitative indicators for each component of the system and the establishment of dependencies between them, which is the basis for quantitative assessment of the level of efficiency of city logistics and forecasting its possible changes for a certain perspective.
