OPTIMIZATION OF MOTOR TRANSPORT FREIGHT TRANSPORTATION UNDER MARTIAL LAW IN UKRAINE: ROUTE MODELING AND USE OF DIGITAL PLATFORMS

Abstract

The article discusses the optimization of motor transport freight transportation under martial law in Ukraine: route modeling and the use of digital platforms. It is noted that active military operations have led to the destruction of transport infrastructure, damage to freight vehicles, and disruptions in management systems, creating a range of risks for transportation. Traditional methods of modeling freight transport routes in such conditions are not effective enough without the use of digital platforms and telematic systems. The purpose of the study is to analyze the state of road freight transport in Ukraine, assess risk factors, justify approaches to optimizing road transport routes in conditions of martial law, use modern digital platforms and modeling methods, and develop recommendations for the implementation of digital tools in the practice of logistics companies. To optimize routes, a combined approach is proposed that combines classical graph algorithms, heuristic methods, and mathematical programming methods. Attention is paid to the formalization of routing tasks. The feasibility of using digital platforms that provide real-time monitoring of transport movements, automatic generation of alternative routes, and analytical data processing for risk forecasting and logistics operations planning is justified. It is concluded that the optimization of motor transport freight transportation in the conditions of martial law in Ukraine is extremely relevant and requires a comprehensive approach that combines analysis of the state of the industry, mathematical modeling of routes, and the use of digital logistics management platforms. Recommendations for the practical application of motor transport freight transportation optimization are proposed.
