Special features of developing a transport service system for remote territories

Abstract

The paper considers the problem of developing a transport service system for remote territories on the example of Chukotka Autonomous Okrug. The objective of the study is to determine a method for selecting an optimum option for delivery of cargoes from mine fields in the remote territories to an outside transport junction, considering spending in development of transport infrastructure and expenditure on cargo delivery. In the process of analysis of the region’s special features, several limiting factors impacting managerial decisions and increasing investment and operational costs were identified. Recommendations for managerial decisions in organisation of transport services in remote territories were provided, and a list of costs was provided for comparing the options for providing transport services to remote territories and selecting the optimal option proceeding from multi-criteria analysis.
