The object of this research is the composition of the suppliers of a project-oriented transport and forwarding company. The work is aimed at determining the composition of the suppliers of a project-oriented transport and forwarding company, the purpose of which is to obtain a synergistic effect, which manifests itself in reducing the costs of performing individual operations of the transport process while meeting local requirements for each project. This study proposes an optimization model that allows to determine the composition of suppliers of a project-oriented organization in order to obtain the maximum systemic effect – a synergistic effect. The proposed approach is based on the creation of a virtual project management office, the work of which is based on the corresponding information system. The proposed model is a flexible tool that allows to quickly form the composition of suppliers of a project-oriented company. The model is developed for the service sector and, in particular, for the transport industry, where suppliers are not responsible for material objects, resources, but for services, the set of which forms the essence of the project. Thus, the product of the project and its parameters in such a situation are directly formed due to the specifics of suppliers and the parameters of their services. For the transport industry, this approach has not been used before and can serve as a theoretical basis for building a project-oriented management system in the transport sector. The synergistic effect taken as a basis in this model provides the greatest difference between the «declared» delivery costs and the «actual» ones, which are formed taking into account the amount of work for all projects. Since the freight forwarding company is the «holder» of the portfolio of all deliveries/projects, a certain part of the synergy effect can be used to reduce delivery costs for customers in order to increase competitiveness and attractiveness. Experimental studies have substantiated the reliability of the results of the developed model and confirmed its practical applicability. This model is quite universal and can be supplemented with restrictions that take into account the specifics of a project-oriented organization, its projects and requirements for suppliers.

The constant growth of the popularity of tourism in Ukraine and the world, the intensification of entrepreneurial activity in this area make tourism one of the most promising sectors of the economy. Modern processes of transformation in the economic complex and the service sector cause profound changes, requiring a new look at all manifestations of socio-economic activity of society. The leading place is given to the balanced and efficient use of local recreational resources. Given this, in those regions that have natural and recreational potential and have a positive ecological status, special importance is attached to the further development and improvement of tourism and recreation of the region. Cherkasy region has all the opportunities to become one of the main tourist regions due to its natural-recreational and historical-cultural potential. Cherkasy region has a well-developed infrastructure, active tourist flows and a rich historical heritage. All this, combined with recreational and social conditions, contributes to the intensive development of tourism business in the region. It should be noted that the intensity of tourism today does not directly depend on the recreational base of region, but on quality of relevant resources and modern infrastructure. Recreational zoning of Cherkasy territory should be carried out in order to determine the most promising and cost-effective areas of investment and systematization of future costs. It is important to pay attention to the organization of clusters in the tourist zoning of Cherkasy region. It should be noted that the cluster effect is created due to the synergistic effect. The synergetic effect provides an increase in efficiency as a result of integration, the merging of individual parts into a single system by creating a systemic effect. Synergism means the excess of the sum of the factors that make it up. The synergistic effect provides an opportunity to solve the problems of the relationship between different activities of one or more entities to achieve higher results than in the case of autonomous actions for each activity of each enterprise that operates in a particular group of enterprises. Optimization due to the interaction of all activities on the basis of the synergetic effect is strategic in nature, because it provides advantages over other entities. Thus, we can conclude that Cherkasy region has objective prerequisites for tourism development. Certain shortcomings of modern territories are an obstacle to tourism development, but they cannot be interpreted as impeding the development of the industry in the region

Purpose This paper aims to examine the impact of deregulation on the European transport industry in the form of privatization, on the managerial efficiency of a panel of deregulated transport companies. Design/methodology/approach This research examines a data set of 25 deregulated transport companies from a sample of 12 EU nations from 1988 to 2015. Some studies have analyzed deregulation by using non-parametric models. However, only a limited number of studies focus on the impact of deregulation on the managerial efficiency. This study answers two questions: whether deregulation, in the form of privatization, in the transport sector has any effect on the managerial efficiency, on the profitability and on the investment decisions of the firm, and whether this premise is robust enough across the European transport industry. This study formulates a multivariate regression framework utilizing data from major privatized European transport companies. The final panel includes 25 companies, from 12 EU - Member States for the period 1988-2015, equaling 375 firm-year observations based on a rigorous selection methodology. Findings The study confirms that transport companies, post-privatization, are more efficient regarding operating efficiency and profitability. The authors find no evidence that deregulation improves investment efficiency. Social implications The study addresses the regulators’ dilemma, whether to deregulate, by focusing on analyzing the improvement of the managerial efficiency. Originality/value This study contributes to the transport industry management literature in three ways. First, the authors update the literature of the economic theory of regulation with an empirical examination which covers the latest years across the EU Member States. Second, the authors introduce a comparison of the effects of deregulation on different components of the managerial efficiency, namely, investment, profitability and operating efficiency of the incumbents in the EU transport industry. Third, they examine deregulation by using two approaches: a traditional one where deregulation is a dummy variable assessing the overall effect on incumbents’ efficiency performance; and a novel approach where the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s deregulation index is used to measure the regulation intensity, accounting also for industry-wide impact assessment. This two-sided approach increases the robustness of the results.

A brief outline of the restructuring of the freight transport sector in the three Baltic States (Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania) is provided that focuses on the provision of logistics and freight-forwarding services in international transport and trade. The three countries have made significant progress in all areas of the transport sector in the past 10 years. During this period the private sector has taken over a large part of the transport sector. Despite the very positive development, continued efforts are needed to improve the transport sector further. Issues pertaining to national legislation are recognized to be of high priority in all three countries, but cooperation in customs issues between countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States is problematic. Also delays in border crossings, especially to and from Russia and Belarus, appear to be a common and persistent problem in the Baltic States. The general transport-supporting services and the performance of customs have improved substantially during the past decade. Entry of foreign operators, especially in international road-based transport and logistics services, has restructured the logistics market profoundly. It can be argued that the efficiency of the industry and the overall quality of services have improved substantially.

The paper examines methods for measuring labour productivity in transport as a basis for implementing an effective strategic planning system of the transport sector personnel requirements. The author conducted the research of existing methods of planning and recording labour productivity and proposed the method of integrated measurement of labour productivity in uniform (labour) indicators for all PJSC "UZ", as well as for separate production groups and service jobs. This method allowed revealing the main productivity growth reserves and giving recommendations for their use. The author developed approximate standards of labour, as well as methods for calculating the economic efficiency of the internal reserves resulted from the introduction of new technology, best practices, etc. Reserves and methods of increasing labour productivity are considered in relation to the specific conditions and peculiarities of the work of transport, its branch facilities, enterprises and linear organizations.The area of labour notions is very complicated, and herewith the most general concepts of labour terms are used in different ways. Therefore, when studying the issues of labour productivity, it is necessary, above all, to define its concept. It also needed to identify the main labour terms (labour activity, work, difficulties, difficulty of work, labour productivity, production, productivity of individual, social labour, means, subject of labour, qualification, specialty, profession, etc.). The work considers the issues raised taking into account the specific features of the organization of production and labour activities in the transport industry, specifies the employment terms and reveals their definitions.The author concluded that the more acceptable indicator for measuring labour productivity at the transport, economy, enterprise and unit labour level is the indicator of labour costs per unit of output, and the measurement method is the complex one. The application of this method does not require the expansion of forms of transport statistics. On the contrary, the complex method simplifies and improves their management by reducing a number of employee output indicators by type of work and categories of workers.

Realizing decreased CO2 emissions from the transport sector will be possible in the near future when substituting (part of) the currently used hydrocarbon-fuelled internal combustion engines (ICEs) with hydrogen-fuelled ICEs. Hydrogen-fuelled ICEs have advanced to such a stage that, from the engine point of view, there are no major obstacles to doing this. The present paper indicates the advantages of hydrogen as a fuel for spark ignition (SI) internal combustion engines. It also shows how the hydrogen engine has matured. An extensive overview is given of the literature on experimental studies of abnormal combustion phenomena, mixture formation techniques, and load control strategies for hydrogen-fuelled engines. The Transport Technology research group of the Department of Flow, Heat and Combustion Mechanics at Ghent University has been working on the development and optimization of hydrogen engines for 15 years. An overview of the most important experimental results is presented with special focus on the most recent findings. The article concludes with a list of engine design features of dedicated hydrogen SI engines.

The current state of development of science and technology in various sectors of the economy, including transport, requires the timely introduction of new technologies. The movable and immovable property of the enterprises of the transport industry is in such a state that it needs immediate updating and carrying out capital, finishing and current repairs. This, in turn, will help increase the efficiency of management of transport companies and achieve the goals of their stakeholders. This study proposes an analysis of the application of the project approach to the management of the transport sector at the strategic level. In order to improve the management of enterprises of the transport complex, it is proposed to apply strategic planning for the development of these enterprises, which will focus on portfolio-oriented management. The classical model of strategic management includes: development of the mission and goals of the enterprise; research of external and internal environments; analysis of strengths and weaknesses; formation of strategic alternatives; choice; strategy implementation and evaluation. The main directions of development of the transport complex are: competitive and efficient transport industry; innovative development of the transport industry and global investment projects; safe for society, environmentally friendly and energy efficient transport; unhindered mobility and interregional integration. The strategic planning process consists of three main stages: analysis of the current situation, formulation of future prospects and development of an action plan. The problem of modern enterprises in the transport sector is that the developed strategic plan is not implemented due to insufficient specificity of plans, as well as the lack of a well-established mechanism for implementing and monitoring the implementation of planned actions. Thus, the format of the strategic plan of activity and development of enterprises of the transport complex should be developed through the prism of portfolios, programs and projects that will increase the efficiency of management of these enterprises.
