Piggyback transportation as a factor in ensuring sustainable development of transport links between regions

摘要

The article discusses piggyback transportation and their role in modern logistics technologies, which make it possible to implement certain elements of the concept of sustainable development of both regional and international economies. The main aspects of the organization of piggyback transportation, their advantages and disadvantages have been studied, the problems of use in the conditions of the Russian Federation have been identified. The lack of experience in their implementation, the insufficient level of interaction between various sectors of the economy were noted as one of the main problems of using piggyback transportation in the formation of logistics chains, as well as the complexity and ambiguity of assessing the effectiveness of their implementation. The paper proposes an approach to assessing the effectiveness of piggyback transportation, based on the use of expert assessment methods, in particular, the Delphi method and the Saati hierarchy analysis method. The features of the implementation of piggyback transportation in the West Siberian region of the Russian Federation are noted.
