One of the key problems when ensuring the quality of life of residents of large cities of the world is to raise the transport services standards. Among the main aspects of solving this problem is the search for the optimal distribution of flows of personal and ground public municipal passenger transport. In this regard the planning, design, and localization of multifunctional transport interchange hubs (hereinafter – TIH) take on great significance. The experience of their arrangement has received wide acceptance in many countries of the world. In recent years Moscow has also been actively working on the design and construction of TIH; large-scale projects of transport infrastructure facilities construction are being developed. The TIH system should be capable of flexible response to changing transport needs of the population and to their realistic transformation to effectively ensure transport mobility of the population.The objective of the study is to test the passenger flow analysis methods and their application for simulation of the organization and planning of the transport interchange hub in a large district of the city, planning of the route network of municipal passenger transport.The route network of suburban and intercity transport of Northern Administrative District of Moscow has been reviewed. The passenger traffic within the TIHs Rechnoy vokzal and Khovrino has been analyzed.Based on the study, the authors propose to change the route network of ground urban passenger transport. The implementation of route network changing proposals can shorten the time spent on passenger travel and transfer. It is the authors’ opinion that the developed route network is more effective than the existing one and meets the design standards and requirements approved by local city regulations.

Transport route specification models are used to analyse the need for combined passenger transportation on popular routes in a large urban agglomeration. The problem of managing the travel chains of passengers using public transport (PT) is revealed with the focus on the complexity of applying the principle of multimodality on the route network used by population due to the mismatch of the schemes of transport and users’ routes.The study of the logistics of passenger transportation with PT introduces the concept of «public transport user (PTU)» which has a variable status relative to the flows of people, pedestrians, passengers, and transport vehicles. The description of the registers of the main parameters of the routes under study serves to create their digital twins.To manage the travel chains of PTUs, identify related sections of transport routes, it is proposed to highlight within the passenger flow the currents of the same profile which include PTUs that have common transport behaviour.Models and algorithms of network proximity to transport infrastructure objects, visualisation of digital traces of PTUs and the results of comparing the used and the best route options according to the modelled parameters allow to identify behavioural profiles of PTUs, as well as regulators managing the travel chains.

The current trends in the globalization of tourist service market are becoming decisive in the management of the competitive superiority of the passenger transport infrastructure in resort municipalities. The resort infrastructure in municipalities is an open, socially active, difficult-to-forecast service-resource system that experiences seasonal impulse loads of regional, interregional and global scale. Passenger transport is stated to be a strategic element of the resort infrastructure, which provides necessary accessibility of resort facilities by means of transport processes and supplementary services, timeliness, efficiency and safety of the local people and tourists, and also significantly influences the formation of a positive image of the passenger transportation business and resort municipal formation as a whole. Imperfection of functioning of passenger transport is in the fact that passenger transport business in resort municipalities is represented by various types of passenger transport and classical technologies of transportation processes, formed for mass use, which do not fully provide high efficiency and quality of passenger service, especially during the high season. It has been proposed to use flexible transportation technologies as a new segment of the transport business covering a wider range of consumer demand with a personal-mass service. Flexible resort and transport services in municipalities have been described terminologically and functionally. A set of marketing and logistics principles defining the basis of the management system for flexible resort and transport services was developed. A set of marketing and logistics principles have been created to ensure the effectiveness of the management system of flexible resort and transport services. A mathematical model for assessing the service-resource efficiency of the management system for flexible resort and transport services has been proposed.

The article reveals the problem issues of development of transport communication links in the system of European integration policy of Ukraine.  In today's conditions of integration development, the role of transport is constantly growing not only as a means of transportation but also as a necessary condition for the development of social, in particular, economic, relations. Ukraine is in the system of transport networks connecting Western, Central Europe with the Eastern part of it, and also historically important in the conjunctions of the Baltic Sea and the Black Sea basin. Therefore, considering Ukraine in the system of European integration policy, it becomes clear that one of the important directions of development is the transport sphere itself. It is worth agreeing with the opinion of domestic experts that the sphere of transport itself plays a significant role in the economy of the country, mediating the process of exchange of goods both on the domestic and foreign markets. Modern trends in the development of vehicles, transport technologies, transport management provide an opportunity to significantly expand the geography of transportation, increase the volume of transport services and innovate approach to the development of own transport infrastructure. Innovative technologies in the field of transport contribute to radical changes not only in the views of trends in the development of advanced technologies, but also the real creation of new vehicles, or the embodiment of the ancient dreams of humanity to move on land for long distances at high speeds. One of these trends is Hyperloop - a draft of a kind of vacuum traction that was proposed by American engineers at the beginning of the 21st century. The project has already gained its commitment in many countries around the world: the USA, China, India, OAU, France, Germany, South Korea, Ukraine and other countries. On the one hand, such a project seems utopian, and on the other - its implementation will encourage new approaches in the transport system and the links between different regions and cities of the European continent in particular. It will also contribute to further deepening integration ties in Europe and the world by means of transport.

The Law of Ukraine “On priority areas of innovation in Ukraine” expires in 2021. Therefore, the question of identifying new innovative priorities has been arosen. Transport and transport infrastructure represent an important part of GDP and jobs, the transformation of the transport sector provides huge business opportunities, and transportation services are necessary for the well-being and quality of life of citizens and the competitiveness of the Ukrainian economy. Transport infrastructure is a key element of the many United Nations sustainable development goals. Given all the above and the fact that the demand for transport services will constantly grow due to population growth, increased volumes of production and consumption of goods, transport has great chances to be included in the new list of priority areas of scientific and technological development in Ukraine. Therefore, the analysis of the technological development of this sphere is an urgent task of clarifying the future priorities of innovation in the field of transport in Ukraine. In the work the methodology of scientific and technological forecasting has been developed using the patent landscape and intellectual property analytics and on the basis of forecasting and analytical studies. Using this methodology and the Web of Science, Derwent Innovation and PatSnap and the International Patent Classification (IPC) databases, a patent landscape was built and world technological trends of the field under study were determined, in particular, digitalization, electrification, general mobility, autonomy, decarbonization, as well as the need for a new city planning. It is concluded that patent analysis, patent landscape and patent analytics make it possible to develop a forecast of technological changes, in particular for the transport, and the use of two patent databases increases the accuracy of the forecast. The results of the work make it possible to determine the scientific and technological priority areas for the transport system, and for business and innovation politic to respond in time to changes in development directions and conditions for the functioning of transport, take them into account when developing a transport strategy and get potential benefits and minimize the negative consequences of the events encountered and transport will collide.

Transport is considered one of the key sectors in terms of economic development. The quality of transport services and transport infrastructure is essential for the growth of the economy, the regular production operations in other sectors of the economy, and the satisfaction of people’s needs. As a full member of the European Union (EU), Bulgaria is committed to adopt and implement all of its internal policies and regulations, including those in the field of transport. Over the last two decades, the Community's efforts have been directed at building a well-functioning single European transport area, a transport system that is competitive and at the same time satisfies the contemporary social and environmental requirements. Therefore, a number of legislative changes concerning all modes of transport (rail, air, road and water) have been made. They all have a certain effect for the sector on a pan-European and national scale as well as for its contribution to economic development.The main objective of this paper is to analyze the contribution of transport services to the economic development of Bulgaria. The analysis is based on statistical data from various sources, such as the World Trade Organization (WTO), the World Bank, Eurostat and the National Statistical Institute of Bulgaria. These statistics include the number of persons employed in the sector, the national GDP level, and the volumes of export and import of goods and services. The analysis covers the period 2005-2017, which includes years from Bulgaria’s pre-accession and post-accession period.The results from the analysis show that transport services are a substantial part of the services sector in the country. During the investigated period the actual volumes of both exports and imports of transport services are increasing, while in relative terms the trend is different. A substantial part of the employed persons In Bulgaria are engaged in the sector of transport services – in 2017 they were 210.6 thousand, or 6.7% of all employed persons. Comparatively, according to data from Eurostat, this sector in the European Union provided employment for about 11 million people in 2016, which is more than 5% of the total employment in the Union. The paper also discusses the European regulations concerning the transport sector and the benefits from its development.

Woven into the fabric of history, hunger and food shortage experienced by individuals, communities, or large-scale societies are important historical markers, often used to chronicle significant points in time. As such, the histories of hunger and food shortage in various places and times in the Atlantic world serve as a productive lens with which to study the political, social, cultural, economic, and environmental parameters of Atlantic world history from pre-contact to present day. Within Atlantic history, just as in the early 21st century, hunger and food shortage can be a result of environmental conditions or natural disaster, such as the severe winters and wet summers which caused Europe’s Great Famine (1315–1322). Hunger and food shortage was and is also the result of intentionally orchestrated conditions including any combination of warfare, politics, poverty, and power. In the early decades of cross-Atlantic contact, food shortage and hunger was a common experience for both immunocompromised indigenous populations as well as inexperienced European explorers and early settlers. Control over food as well as limiting access to it came to serve as an important tool in white control over the land and people of the New World, both indigenous and those forcibly migrated from Africa. While food shortage was a common experience in European history due to mercantilist practices and harvest failures, food shortage and hunger in contemporary history largely is focused on western Africa. Despite the enormous expansion of agricultural productivity, extensive networks of transport infrastructure, and the interlinked global economy, hunger and food shortages still persist in all parts of the world, and indeed thrive, in all parts of the world.

Throughout the world helicopters are being operated in a variety of roles today and, whereas ten years ago, there was not one type which had got beyond the stage of being an inventor's plaything, several types are now suitable for regular military and civil operations. At present, so far as is known to the author, public transport services using helicopters are confined to charters and scheduled mail services, with the exception of a scheduled passenger service which has been run by the British European Airways Corporation as an operational experiment since June 1950. The factors, both technical and economic, which have so far prevented the large scale introduction of public transport helicopter services, are being progressively overcome and in due course operators will find that manufacturers have made available suitable aircraft. The operators' task will then be to fly these aircraft in a safe and regular manner and give the public the best service possible.

As a result of transportation integration, the role of highway passenger transport hubs has changed dramatically; these nodes act as important links to construct a seamless regional comprehensive passenger transport system which reflects the coordination and symmetry of public transportation and the integrated transportation system. In order to optimise the efficiency of transportation organisation and improve the quality of passenger transport services, in this study we developed an optimisation method for the allocation of passenger transport hubs based on the analysis of passenger flow demand and spatial distribution. Configuration models of the departure sites of single-station and multi-station hub lines were established according to the service scope of the stations and the relative generalised travel cost, respectively. The overall optimisation method of the route allocation scheme was proposed by checking and optimising the passenger volume of each station. The developed methodology was successfully validated by applying it to the highway passenger transport hub system of Nanjing, China. The proposed methodology is expected to help management agencies and business operators to optimise existing highway passenger bus lines, thereby improving the quality of their services.
