Algorithm for Assessing the Economic Efficiency of the Organization of Multimodal Long-Distance Passenger Transportation

One of the directions of development of the transport complex of the Russian Federation is the development of multimodal transport technologies and infrastructure to ensure multimodal transportation. The article presents an economic assessment of measures for the organization of multimodal long-distance passenger transportation. It is shown that the proposed methodology is aimed at meeting the basic requirements for the organization of passenger transportation, which are to obtain the maximum income when performing multimodal transportation in the direction, and to maximize the number of passengers transported in order to better meet passenger demand.

Purpose is to study the impact of multimodal transportation on the increase of passenger turnover at the landfill of JSC “FPC”. Since modern requirements for the passenger transportation system dictate the need to create a multimodal transport system based on the integration of passenger rail transport with other modes of transport, it is necessary to show the importance of organizing multimodal transportation in accordance with passenger demand. To consider the matter of necessity to determine the main parameters that affect the choice of multimodal routes.

Methodology. Complement existing approaches to the organization of multimodal transportation. Methods of economic theory for determining the effectiveness of the organization of long-distance multimodal passenger transportation.

Results. The criteria of multimodal transportation have been defined.An algorithm for assessing the economic efficiency of the organization of a multimodal route is proposed, which allows to estimate the expected profit from transportation organization, as well as predicting transportation impact on transportation process indicators.

Practical implication. The recommendations and approaches proposed in the algorithm developed by the author can be used for the development of multimodal routes. The proposed algorithm allows performing a preliminary analysis of its economic feasibility yet at the preliminary selection stage for multimodal long-distance passenger transportation organization.
