Abstract

In order to build an ecologically oriented model of transport and logistics infrastructure, an analysis of the dynamics and volume of cargo transportation is carried out and the possibilities of optimizing their structure are determined. It is established that the volume of transportation by water transport has significantly decreased since 2009, in contrast to the situation with road transportation. Railway transportation began to decline in 2014. The conducted analysis allows us to draw a conclusion: over the past ten years, road transport has significantly increased its importance on the freight transport market of Ukraine, while other types of transport, on the contrary, have reduced their market shares. From the point of view of “ecological” expectations regarding to the prospects of influence of the transport industry of Ukraine and the state of the environment, such as redistribution of shares in favor of road transport is fearsome. The indicated trend is threatening for the possibility of fulfilling the tasks and obligations of Ukraine in the context of the EGD, as it should be the other way around - railway and water transport should increase their market shares, and road transport should, on the contrary, decrease. In order to evaluate the forecast possibilities of "greening" of the transport and logistics system of Ukraine, we conduct a forecast modeling of the possibilities of using different types of transport. The main task of the modeling is to determine the possibilities of increasing the freight traffic of water transport and railway transport and to reduce the traffic of automobiles. It is taken into account that with the beginning of the war there were restrictions on the possibilities of using sea transport in Ukraine (as a result of the occupation of territories and ports), therefore there is a need to compensate for these losses until the opportunity is restored by increasing the use of river transport. It was also taken into account that it is impossible to completely abandon road transport, but there are opportunities to increase its level of environmental friendliness. Logistics technologies play an important role in the greening of transportation, as they aim to optimize traffic and reduce the negative impact on the environment. Here are some examples of logistics technologies that contribute to green transport logistics: efficient routing; combined transportation, use of technologies of "smart" warehouses, etc. Therefore, the prospects of transport logistics in Ukraine are related to the expansion of the use of water transport. Conclusions. The conducted research makes it possible to form a predictive model of the development of the transport system of Ukraine taking into account the war and the needs of the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine. It has been proven that in the context of the activation of European integration processes, there is a need, in addition to the traditional tasks of transportation, to solve environmental problems related to the need to ensure compliance of the national sphere of freight transportation with the requirements of the European Green Course. That is why the justification of the feasibility of using water transport is carried out and the possible volumes of transportation by sea and river transport are determined. The expediency of using intermodal, multimodal, and feeder container transportations as those that meet the requirements of "green" standards in the transport industry has also been proven.
