The article outlines certain methodological aspects of substantiating ways to increase the efficiency of using freight transport. One of the priority areas in training highly qualified specialists in the economic field is teaching them the most rational and objective methods of analysis, the results of which are necessary for the development and substantiation of real and objective management decisions, the implementation of which in production and financial activities of enterprises will help to increase the economic efficiency of using material resources, including trucks. The system of performance indicators for the work of freight transport includes summarizing and particular indicators. The research results show that the efficiency of trucks has significantly decreased: the truck availability rate by 5.6%, the loaded mileage proportion by 24.0%, the load factor by 26.8%. The decrease in the efficiency of using trucks indicates the need to develop and substantiate optimal management decisions in order to improve the use of trucks. In order to increase the validity of management decisions, it is proposed to use a new coefficient characterizing the level of use of the operating factor of technically ready trucks. This makes it possible to improve the accuracy of calculating reserves and planning the work of freight transport.

The author's classification of management decision-making methods, including twenty-five classes of methods, is presented for the first time. As part of the general classification of management decision-making methods, the role and place of a group of methods for making managerial decisions based on the optimization of performance indicators was demonstrated. In the group of methods for making managerial decisions based on the optimization of performance indicators, a subgroup of programming methods (linear, nonlinear and dynamic) is considered in detail. The features of use and application are shown when making managerial decisions of a subgroup of programming methods.

In the Piedmont region (Italy) the electronic ticketing system called BIP, is currently active across much of its territory, and thedata collected in the Province of Cuneo since the full activation of the system (2014) provide today a sound source ofinformation. Two different travel documents are available, travel passes and pay-per-use, with different validation rules: check-inonly for travel passes and check-in and check-out for pay-per-use. Data produced by this electronic ticketing system employingsmart cards allow to perform a detailed analysis of each user’s behaviour, and calculate time and space distributions of eachpassenger trip. In detail, data originating from smart card transactions allow to trace back the trip chains, establish journey originsand destinations, and produce a “travel diary” for each passenger. Based on this data, performance indicators (i.e. load factor) aswell as user mobility patterns and origin-destination matrices can be calculated in an automated and reliable way. This articlepresents a methodology for assessing the quality of the data collected when information about boarding and alighting stops isavailable from the (on board) validation system. It also presents an algorithm to assign a destination for each trip where only theboarding information is available. In the case study of the Province of Cuneo, it was found that 91% of the pay-per-use journeydata are reliable and can be used for further analysis, whereas with the use of the proposed algorithm it was possible to estimatethe destinations for 82% of the travel pass trips.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/CIT2016.2016.1999

The author reviews the writings on theoretic and methodological aspects of resources utilization efficiency. Indirect factors affecting the level of materials/ output level for the regional product of the Brest Region are explored. As the main analysis tool the correlation and regression technique is employed. The set of indicators evaluated includes foreign investments, investments in fixed capital, net income of organizations, innovations spend, account payable, as well as such lawlessness indicator, as the level of corrupt practice. Through the correlation and regression analysis the most relevant kinds of functions are identified — namely, the actual data on the material/output level. Based on analyzing statistical data for the Brest region of Belarus for the period of 2007– 2013 the author has constructed models to explore efficiency of material resources utilization for the purpose of managing material/output level of the region concerned.

Defining the economic role of rail freight transport in the national transport system of South Africa should be one of the basic ingredients of both an economically rational transport policy and the effective functioning of Transnet Freight Rail. In the interest of the national economy and in its own commercial interest, Transnet Freight Rail must only specialise in those fields where it can provide services tailored to the needs of customers at prices which are competitive and defensible in terms of economic principles. The institutional framework governing Transnet Freight Rail’s operations should create an environment conducive to the management of its operations as a fully competitive and profit-oriented business by: fostering a competitive freight transport market; providing any required socio-economic rail services under special agreements; Transnet’s board of directors defining management objectives and granting real management autonomy to Transnet Freight Rail; and Transnet Freight Rail defining clear and adequate performance indicators for itself. On the basis of these conditions, this paper outlines a governance structure under which Transnet Freight Rail as a public corporation can operate within a climate of free and effective competition.

The study proposes to consider the concept of complex risk of an airline from the position of a systematic approach and define risk as a threat to the economic security of an airline. The analysis of theoretical and methodological aspects of risk assessment is carried out. One method is proposed for determining and predicting a complex risk as a threat to the economic security of an airline based on an analysis of the probability of events and the impact on the company's activities in order to make effective management decisions to strengthen the economic security of an airline.
