The purpose of the research is to estimate the opportunities to promote the transport systems development by the means of introduction of weight-and-dimensional control and improvement of its methods. The existing methods of weight-and-dimensional control are considered. Advantages and disadvantages of the systems in comparison are revealed. According to the research, such results as the reduction of cases of excesses of admissible mass of freight, collecting additional income for the regional budget, the decrease in the destroying impact on highways, the decrease in the expenses on their repair as well as providing sources for financing of such repair, the decrease in ecological harm from driving of overloaded vehicles, the increase in traffic safety, the reduction of quantity of accidents and life losses caused by driving of the overloaded vehicles are possible. Nevertheless, the analyses of the domestic practice prove that some problems of the organization of weight-and-dimensional control exist. The author offers some measures for the solution of these problems. The results of the research can be used both by the specialists of Ministry of Transport, when drawing up the programmes of the transport system development and during approval of rules and standards of freights transportation, and by the transporters, when planning their activity.

This chapter discusses the idea that even though information systems development (ISD) approaches have long advocated the use of integrated organisational views, the modelling techniques used have not been adapted accordingly and remain focused on the automated information system (IS) solution. Existing research provides evidence that business process simulation (BPS) can be used at different points in the ISD process to provide better-integrated organisational views that aid the design of appropriate IS solutions. Despite this fact, research in this area is not extensive; suggesting that the potential of using BPS for the ISD process is not yet well understood. The paper uses the findings from three different case studies to illustrate the ways BPS has been used at different points in the ISD process, especially in the area of requirements engineering. It compares the results against IS modelling techniques, highlighting the advantages and disadvantages that BPS has over the latter. The research necessary to develop appropriate BPS tools and give guidance on their use in the ISD process is discussed.

St. Petersburg is the fourth most populous city in Europe (after Moscow, Greater London and Greater Paris). Hundreds of thousands of people move daily within the urban agglomeration. Under these conditions, the effective functioning of the urban economy is impossible without a modern transport system capable of providing a solution to current and future problems of the urban economy. The work aims to analyse the effectiveness of the development of the transport system of St. Petersburg. Therefore, it is necessary to examine the main provisions of the most critical regulatory legal acts regulating the city's transport system's development, identify their advantages and disadvantages, and determine how effectively the activities outlined in them are being implemented in dynamics. The author's analysis of the two editions of the St. Petersburg transport system development program (the original edition of 2014 and the current edition of 2020) revealed negative trends, consisting of the deviation of the program indicators' actual value their planned values. Based on the results of the study, the author draws the following conclusions: when implementing the program for the development of the transport system of St. Petersburg, general principles of strategic management are not used, particularly, the effectiveness of program measures is not analysed, the reasons and factors that led to the deviation of planned indicators from the actual ones are not extended for a new period without any assessment of the results achieved; indicators of the transport system development program are constantly being adjusted downward; There is no unified management system for the development of transport infrastructure in the city, the program activities themselves are distributed among separate committees of the city administration, which harms the results of socio-economic development of the transport complex.

Purpose of the study.The study focuses on issues of the level assessment of transport system development of large cities. Despite the wide variety of studies on this issue, there is currently no universal approach to assessing the level of development of the transport system at megalopolises. The present study aims to create a tool for a comprehensive assessment of various aspects of urban transport development that are important for all categories of transport users, and to provide a comparative analysis of the world’s leading megacities in terms of transport development based on the proposed methodology.Materials and methods.In the study, the authors apply an approach related to the construction of integral indexes and ratings of cities based on the values of these indexes. In the calculations of the index, the authors use statistical data from authoritative open sources and information systems of national and municipal government.Results.Based on the results of the world practice analysis, the authors propose the Urban Transport Development Index developed in order to compare the level of transport system development in various cities. The Index provides an opportunity to identify the weaknesses and strengths of cities, to find reserves for the further improvement and development of recommendations in the field of transport policy on this basis. The Index consists of four sub-indexes: the availability of transport services for the urban population, the quality of transport services, road traffic security and the ecological impact of transport, and freight logistics performance. The Index reflects the main aspects of urban transport development and shows the views of different categories of population on the level of transport services. The paper examines the level of transport system development for 2010, 2015, 2016 and 2017 of a group of comparable cities, which includes Hong Kong, London, Mexico, Moscow, New York, St. Petersburg, Singapore, Istanbul, Tokyo and Shanghai. The results showed that Tokyo and London have occupied the leading positions during the period under review. For the seven years Moscow, St. Petersburg and Shanghai have showed the best dynamics of the Index.Conclusion.The proposed method allows both to evaluate the effectiveness of individual regulatory measures known in the practice of other cities, and to simulate their impact on the transport system of the city. The paper concludes with recommendations for further development of cities’ transport systems.

In the article it is explored the concept of the permanent devices of transport systems, it is studied the nature of the permanent devices, their functions, characteristics and components. The transport system plays an important role in the socio-economic development of the country, providing conditions for economic growth, increasing the competitiveness of the national economy and the quality of life of the population. Despite the good geopolitical and geographical location of Ukraine, the state of the transport system is pre-critical. This complicates the presence of Ukraine in the market of transport services in the world nowadays. One of the most important components of the transport system is the permanent devices. It is important to study permanent devices of transport systems in the context of reforming the transport system of Ukraine, in the conditions of attracting private capital, privatization. In order to solve the problem of the transport system development, first of all it is required to define theoretically such concepts as the transport system and its components. In the article it is studied two physical components of permanent devices of transport systems - the thoroughfare and the terminal. It is investigated the question of the form of ownership of the permanent devices of the transport systems, the possibility of privatization according to the current legislation of Ukraine. The analysis of the legislative framework of Ukraine and the works of scientists allowed to make certain generalizations regarding the content of the permanent devices of transport systems. In the article it is identified the common features and characteristics of the permanent devices of transport systems.

A New Approach to Assessment of Infrastructure Projects on Urban Transport Systems The scientific analysis of currently used assessment principles of the development on urban transport systems; subsystems on vehicles, passenger and freight transportations, special public services, pedestrian and bicyclists has been carried out. Each subsystem needs technical infrastructure, the set of informational and traffic control means. Moreover quantitative and qualitative development of transport infrastructure is necessary for appropriate operating of whole communication system. Unfortunately an increase in the level of automobilization, growing transport flows in urban territories and decreasing investment for the development of transport infrastructure are the main barriers for urban development. An uncontrolled increase in automobilization changed the character of the usage of urban territories, urban structure, stimulated the process of agglomeration and formed new problems. The results of expert evaluation and statistical analysis highlighted the influence of each subsystem on the sustainable development of whole urban transport system by technical, traffic safety, social-economic, environmental and other specific aspects. Objects of technical infrastructure that should be treated as infrastructure of urban road transport system were identified. The results of statistics analysis allowed determine features of separate objects necessary to evaluate; assess and adjust separate stages, key principles and quantitative and qualitative criteria of assessment of the development on urban transport systems infrastructure.
