Formation of Logistics Approach to Economic Development of Road Sector of the Republic of Belarus

The paper identifies promising directions in the economic development of the road sector, ensuring the rational use of investments and improving the processes of construction, reconstruction and repair of roads based on the logistics

approach, as well as contributing to the organization of safe and economically profitable transportation of goods and passengers necessary for the sustainable economic development of the country and increasing its transit potential. The set of basic logistics principles is supplemented with applied ones, the application of which will allow to manage the cycle of economic activity in the road sector as a whole. Describing the features of the logistics approach in the field under study, it has been established that the hierarchy of the construction of logistics systems is due to the use of various schemes of control actions, depending on the specifics of the functioning flows of each level. The management of the macro-logistic road management system is based on the need to increase the competitiveness of road transport services by improving the maintenance of transport flows, which is dependent on the level of development of the road infrastructure and the construction of a system for changing its state. The foundation of micro-logistic systems is formed by the resource flows of road construction production, perceived in a systemic unity. The main idea of the logistics approach to the economic development of the road economy is manifested through rational planning (macro-level) and implementation (micro-level) of measures for the development and operation of roads. The requirements of users are the basis for the choice of directions for improving their condition, which links the organization of work on road facilities with the strategy for the development of the transport and logistics system of the country. Organization of transportation of goods and passengers by road is consistent with the processes of road works, which together makes them optimal for each of the areas and the formed system as a whole. The logistics approach provides the necessary connecting framework in the management of intersectoral flow processes for the provision of road transport services and road activities, as well as intra-industry – between road services as part of the logistics system.
