The article deals with the research of the Saimaa Canal significance in the Finnish transport sphere. The analysis of the canal characteristics and features, which are es-sential for shipping, as well as the Saimaa Canal traffic volumes, their commodity struc-ture, the Saimaa Canal ship calls and cargo traffic pattern of change are given. The cer-tain prospects for increasing the traffic on the Saimaa Lakes and especially on the ca-nal is considered.

A globalização aprofundou suas estratégias capazes de fomentar a competição global e de definir os agentes hegemónicos dessa corrida, que de um lado estão grandes corporações em concorrência e de outro os trabalhadores em uma luta de classes, sendo os atributos expressos a esse globaritarismo os responsáveis pelo (re) ordenamento do território, impactando na política, economia e cultura da sociedade. Portanto, a problemática apresentada tem servido como referência para a importância de analisar o conceito de logística sob o olhar geográfico e empresarial, compreendendo asua atuação e limitações a partir de procedimentos metodológicos que abrange desde levantamento bibliográfico sobre a temática até o mapeamento das condições atuais do sistema de transportes de cargas na cidade.ABSTRACT Globalization has deepened its strategies to foster global competition and to set its hegemonic agents having, on one side, large corporations in competition and, on the other side, workers on a class struggle, where the attributes in this globalization process are the ones responsible for spatial planning of cities, thus impacting politics, economy, and culture of the society. Therefore, the problems stated have served as a significant reference to analyze the concept of logistics from a geographic and business perspective by understanding their role and limitations from methodological procedures that range from literature on the subject to the mapping of current conditions of the cargo transportation system in the city.

Key Indicators

The integral indexes are used to measure trends and monitor progress in transportation complex development. The selection of the indicators, included in indexes, is related to the data availability (depends on existence of a specific data sources). The aim of this paper is to provide a development methodology of Integral Index of Traffic Planning (Integral TP Index), which is based on the primary data on vehicle speeds, traffic volumes, number of accidents, etc., for Moscow and allows for basic assessment of transport situation in Russian’s capital. The proposed methodology is a combination of economic and urban approaches to analyze the key indicators of transportation planning efficiency in the metropolis. Four groups of indicators are considered: traffic management efficiency, traffic management quality, transit efficiency and road safety. The integral index considers traffic volumes for various roads and their contributions to the overall transportation system. Division of streets by type (highways, rings, center) makes it possible to take into account specifications the radial-ring streets structure of Moscow. The constructed index is applied to the analysis of Moscow transportation statistics in 2012–2017 provided by the Moscow Traffic Management Center, Yandex and TomTom.

Basic Infrastructure

Shanghai is China's largest city and has a dense concentration of population served by limited transportation infrastructure. Traditionally, bicycles and public transportation have been the dominant modes used by residents, but recent social and economic changes have resulted in a dramatic growth in motor vehicle use and overall traffic volumes. The use of bicycles as a mode of transportation in China and in Shanghai will continue for a long time to come. However, the role of bicycles within Shanghai is changing and will continue to evolve in the future as efforts to enhance basic transportation infrastructure are undertaken and economic and social conditions improve. The complexity of transportation patterns generated by high population densities, coupled with a shortage in basic infrastructure for an urban region of its nature, size, and importance, has created increasingly serious conflicts between motorized and nonmotorized vehicles throughout central Shanghai. These conflicts decrease overall safety and the functional capability of the existing transportation system to meet rapidly increasing travel demands in the municipality. Major improvements are being implemented that will upgrade Shanghai's urban transportation system significantly. They will, however, require a substantial commitment of time and financial resources to complete. In the interim, a comprehensive traffic management effort will be followed that recognizes the importance of bicycles and supports their continued use within the municipality in an appropriate balance with public transportation and other modes consistent with actual conditions and changing demands.

Erroneous Data

Described are three data quality attributes that are considered relevant to intelligent transportation system (ITS) data archiving: suspect or erroneous data, missing data, and data accuracy. Preliminary analyses of loop detector data from the TransGuide system in San Antonio were performed to identify the nature and extent of these data quality concerns in typical archived ITS data. The findings of the analyses indicated that missing data were inevitable, accounting for about one in five of all possible data records. Error detection rules were developed to screen for suspect or erroneous data, which accounted for only 1 percent of all possible data records. Baseline testing of TransGuide detector accuracy showed mixed results; one location collected traffic volumes within 5 percent of ground truth, whereas traffic volumes at another location ranged from 12 to 38 percent of ground truth. It was concluded that data quality procedures will be essential for realizing the full potential of archived ITS data.

Analytical Approaches

The interrelationships between transportation and land use remain contentious despite extensive research. In particular, the influence of transportation system performance on land use development, although recognized as a lagged relationship, has yet to be fully understood. The existing methodological approaches are critically evaluated, and support for the development of a novel historical spatial–temporal approach is provided. The uniqueness of this approach is based on the creation, modification, and analysis of extensive historical databases (1964 to 1998) of transportation system performance (annual weekday traffic volumes) and microscale parcel level data (land use, actual use, and year of development) for the city of Calgary. All data are in yearly time steps, stored within a geographic information system (GIS) framework. Both data sets are significantly modified to create ( a) a congestion index based on volume/capacity ratios and ( b) development intensity and rates of change based on existing transportation zones. An example focus is on warehousing and logistics land uses, which are critically important to the city’s economy and broadly underexamined within the field. Methods used include scientific visualization, correlation analysis, and the use of GIS spatial analytical approaches. The results support the appropriateness of the data modifications and exemplify the value of scientific visualization. At a systemwide level, the timing and location of warehousing and logistics development are found to be statistically associated with high-congestion areas. For individual transportation zones, the relationship between developments and zone proximal congestion is less clear, although there is weak evidence for the existence of lagged effects.

Multiple-Criteria Analysis and Choice of Transportation Alternatives in Multimodal Freight Transport System In the paper the multimodal freight transportation system with a finite number of known alternatives, defined by the routes and modes, is considered. The objective of research is to suggest the approach for evaluation and choice the alternatives of cargo transportation. The following main tasks are considered: choice of indices characterizing efficiency of multimodal transportations, formation of optimization criteria of the multimodal freight transportation, construction of the model of the multimodal transportation system, calculation the performance criteria of cargo transportation. The study presents the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) as the most suitable approach for comparative evaluation of different routes and modes of cargo transportation.
