The transport system from the safety point of view consists of: technical objects, operators and human resources, operation safety subsystems, and system management center. In the area of these subsystems, there may be hazardous sources of external or internal character. Based on the analysis of transport systems, it is concluded that man causes numerous mistakes. The baggage control system and the persons responsible for the functioning of this system have a significant impact on airports' safety level. Dia-grams of multi-stage processes for checking hand luggage and checked baggage has been developed. Eighty-two flights departing from the airport, in which over 1500 passengers were checked-in, were observed to indicate gaps in procedures during baggage processing. They sent over 7500 luggage items in total. During the observation, passengers were asked whether they carried objects defined as hazardous in their hand luggage or checked baggage, and then the affirmative answers obtained were counted. During the check-in, passengers of all analyzed flights, while answering the "safety questions", declared 281 items, which we defined as hazardous. The study confirmed the hypothesis that the transport of dangerous objects in the wrong luggage type has not yet been eliminated and is a hazard source in air transport. Groups of travelers were indicated by a constant lack of awareness about the materials not permitted for air transport.

The presented study identifies modern trends in the innovative development of transport modes as the basis for the formation of a transition economy in the Eurasian space.Aim. The study aims to determine directions for the innovative development of transport modes based on the formation of a unified digital transport and logistics environment, and to find the most efficient ways of regulating financial flows from the transit passage of goods.Tasks. The authors develop and implement mechanisms for generating, distributing, and redistributing income from the functioning of a transit economy in the Eurasian territory in the context of automation, robotization, digital transformation, implementation of artificial intelligence, and transition towards paperless and unmanned technology.Methods. This study uses the methods of systems analysis, evolutionary-institutional theory, the theory of engineering and manufacturing balance, and historical approach.Results. The following directions for the automation and digital transformation of rail cargo transport in the Eurasian space are determined: reduction of the time spent on completing procedures at borders and stations; innovative development of the railroad infrastructure in the neighboring countries; automation of transportation, implementation of unmanned technologies; overcoming negative trends in the transportation of perishable items. Directions for the development and production of an innovative rolling stock for cargo transit are identified. Directions for the innovative development of road, sea, and air transport in the Eurasian space are analyzed, including the development of piggyback (raidroad) transport and uberization of the road cargo transport market. It is found that construction and commissioning of ice-class container ships is an innovative direction in the development of sea transport that transports cargo between Asia and Europe. The main direction in the development of air transport involves expanding consolidation and distribution cargo operations when flying over the Eurasian territory.Conclusions. Innovative transit transport systems (ITTS) are developing rapidly, which calls for the development and implementation of a mechanism for generating, distributing, and redistributing income from the transit of goods and passengers. This should be a corporate mechanism, i.e. it should be implemented via public-private partnership. The Eurasian Transit Transport Company could act as such a corporate structure in the Eurasian space. The most efficient way of distributing income from the functioning of a transit economy among the majority of economic agents is to develop the associated and related production of goods and services on a high-tech basis and to form a vast innovative industrial trade-route belt.

Extensive coastlines, varied weather conditions, scattered industrial centers and a large rural population create special problems with regard to the delivery of health care services in the Great Lakes area, which are further complicated by the discrepancies in the level and type of care available within the region. Hospital based helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS) providing very specialized life support (VSLS) provides safe and rapid transport for patients needing a higher level of care than is available at the accident scene or local hospitals. This service assists local efforts to meet the medical needs of the population. Air transport systems are an integral part of an EMS system. Even though they are costly, they help avoid duplication of more expensive resources, such as hospitals and personnel.

In the article the system dynamics as a method of studying complex hierarchical systems is applied to the diagnosis of the state and development of passenger air transport in Ukraine during 2010-2020 to clarify the causal quantitative, qualitative, structural changes. The rapid, linear, uniform growth of air passenger traffic in Ukraine during 2015-2019, associated with the signing of the Association Agreement with the EU, has been established. The following 2020 has been identified as a bifurcation point that has reversed a steady upward trend to a sharp threefold decline in passenger traffic due to restrictive measures to counter the spread of COVID-19. Intensive processes of concentration in passenger air transport were revealed, as the growth of passenger turnover took place against the background of a reduction in the number of enterprises and an even greater rate of reduction of employment in the industry. The distribution of the number of employees, services provided, value added created, financial results obtained by size of enterprises is exponential, as the vast majority of them are large enterprises, the share of which is small. The general estimation of development of passenger air transport is carried out on the criterion of financial results. Its shortcomings are: the presence of systemic losses during 2010-2014, a significant number of unprofitable enterprises, the positives – profitable activities at the industry level in 2019, the growing trend of the share of profitable enterprises. The content of institutional mechanisms for regulating the development of passenger air transport enterprises, represented by the management of social and labor relations in the industry, the introduction of customer-oriented approach and promising technologies for passenger air service development, strengthening guarantees of consumer protection, interaction with European and global transport systems. It is shown that the institutional mechanisms of regulation of passenger air transport should not be based on state protectionism, but on the criterion of increasing the efficiency and competitiveness of air transport market entities within the framework of the «open skies» policy.

Abstract Port towns are strategic places from the point of view of transport systems. They form integration junctions for various transport branches , apart from the traditional - road and railway ones , also for water( sea) transport which is active there. Moreover, air transport comes also into consideration , whose efficient functioning must be connected with good accessibility, that concerns sea transport as well. Efficient and safe servicing the ports is crucial for their functioning. Problems associated with the overloading of lorries, which leads to degradation of road surface structure , observed in Gdynia, are discussed as an example in this paper. Problems of road traffic safety (RTS) are presented in this paper on the example of Gdańsk. The two issues: the road traffic safety and road surface degradation constitute only some transport problems of port towns , but they are very important, from the point of view of their specificity, for integration junctions of all the transport branches for people and goods. However, in discussing selected aspects of transport in port towns it is necessary to refer to the managing of integrated transport system with taking into account its traffic safety aspects.
