The balance method as an effective tool for strategic planning of river transport activities

Abstract

The work is devoted to the study of the features of the application of the balance method as a tool for planning the activities of transport systems. The introduction substantiates the scientific novelty, the purpose and objectives of the study. The methods section shows the theoretical aspects of the application of the balance method, the results of the analysis of modern scientific research on its application in the planning of the activities of transport enterprises are given. As the results of the study, based on the analysis carried out, the authors determined the directions of using the balance method in planning the activities of inland waterway transport and gave a scheme for its inclusion in the process of planning the resources of the transport industry. In the discussion, it is proposed to continue the scientific study of the issues of balanced development of modes of transport, reduction of the disproportion of financing of land and water transport infrastructure and communication routes, construction of a new fleet, including unmanned transport, taking into account promising innovative technologies, taking into account the use of the balance method. In conclusion, recommendations are given on the practical application of the method considered in the course of the study in strategic planning based on a resource-efficient approach.
