Heading:PROBLEMS AND OPINIONS

Characteristics of material flows in logistics systems

Annotation. The article discusses the differences in the interpretation of individual terms in the field of logistics, taking into account their uniqueness or differences. A comparative characteristic of direct, return and reverse material flows during their movement in the supply chain has been carried out, and separate clarifications have been proposed for the formulation of types of material flows.

Key words. Material flow, logistics, terminology, supply chain.

Development of logistics paradigms and the place for LBP-provider of logistics barter in it

Annotation. Logistics is accompanied by a change of paradigms, namely functional, resource and innovation. But there is a major mistake of all paradigms – the lack of money failure between partners to households and the non-dominant role of supply chains, which will fix the logistics barter with its LBP-provider.

Key words. Paradigms, logistic barter, LBP-provider, E-integrator, radar.

Impact of St. Petersburg ports and Leningrad region on the economy of the region and Russia (Part II)

Annotation. In this article the dynamics of cargo turnover of sea ports of St. Petersburg and Leningrad region is considered for the period from 1999 to 2018, the impact of the activity of these seaports on the importance of the domestic regional product and Russia's GDP was studied.

Key words. Dynamics of cargo turnover, sea ports of the Baltic basin, GRP, GDP of Russia.

Economics of logistics: an electric bus or a traditional bus?

Annotation. Due to the deterioration in an ecological situation, caused by operation of a large number of liquid-fuel vehicles, heads of certain Russian regions try to solve an environmental problem replacement of traditional diesel buses with electrobus. In this case before the management of regions there is a difficult task: What to choose as a main type of public city transport – the traditional bus about DVS or the electrobus.

Key words. Electrobus, bus, internal combustion engines, rechargeable batteries.

Dry ports – key infrastructure facilities of international importance

Annotation. High-quality transport infrastructure is one of the key elements of the modern economy. Currently, the development of transport infrastructure is of particular importance in the context of globalization of transport processes. This article discusses the concept of «dry port», the prospects for the development of such facilities in different countries. In addition the problem of lack of common terminology is mentioned.

Key words. Transport infrastructure, transport object, «dry port».

Impact of St. Petersburg ports and Leningrad region on the economy of the region and Russia (Part I)

Annotation. In this article the dynamics of cargo turnover of sea ports of St. Petersburg and Leningrad region is considered for the period from 1999 to 2018, the impact of the activity of these seaports on the importance of the domestic regional product and Russia's GDP was studied.

Key words. Dynamics of cargo turnover, sea ports of the Baltic basin, GRP, GDP of Russia.

Study of the state and problems of the road freight transport development in Primorsky Krai

Annotation. The article discusses the state, problems and prospects for the development of road transport of goods in the Primorsky Territory. Cargo turnover, traffic volumes, length and density of roads in the region are analyzed. Problems are identified and proposals are being developed for their elimination and the further development of road transport of goods in the region.

Key words. Road transportation of goods, cargo turnover, transportation volumes, length of roads, problems, prospects, recommendations.

Key factors of process engineering in transport and logistics systems

Annotation. Methods of using process engineering and digital technologies are global in nature, creating new opportunities for the system transformation of transport and logistics systems (TLS). The work highlights key factors associated with managing the full life cycle (LC) of an enterprise (system), products, services, and resources, and transforming the process architecture based on an integrated approach.

Unmanned aerial vehicles – cost-effective solution to transport problems

Annotation. In recent years, unmanned aerial vehicles have become widespread all over the world. In the article their capabilities, comparative advantages, limitations, economic efficiency, national characteristics and unsolved problems are considered.

Key word. Unmanned aerial vehicles, technical characteristics, commercial operation, cargo transportation.

On the construction of logistics infrastructure in the territory of the Russian Federation

Annotation. The article proposed a methodological approach to the formation of the logistics infrastructure within a Russian Federation's region. The approach includes two stages. At the initial stage, districts and region's cities are determined where it is advisable to locate key objects of the logistics infrastructure. At the second stage, they are geo-referenced on the ground based on the mathematical models developed by the author.
