METHODOLOGY FOR CHOOSING THE CERTIFICATION OPTION FOR A TRANSPORT AND LOGISTICS SYSTEM, TAKING INTO ACCOUNT ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS

In recent years, the problem of certification of vehicles used in logistics chains remains relevant and important for maintaining the competitiveness of companies in the market. Product certification management plays a key role in this process by determining the environmental impact of transport systems. Assessing regional policy from the point of view of the environmental impact of transport systems includes an analysis of many aspects related to the use and development of transport infrastructure in a particular region. The assessment should take into account the share of various modes of transport (road, public, rail, water, air) in the total volume of traffic in the region. Different modes of transport have different environmental impacts, so regional policies should encourage the use of more sustainable options such as public transport or bicycles. The assessment should include analysis of emissions of various pollutants from vehicles, such as carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and particulates. The assessment should also take into account the level of adoption of alternative fuels and technologies such as electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles, hydrogen vehicles and others. Promoting the use of cleaner technologies can reduce the negative impact of transport on the environment. An analysis of the efficiency of the transport system infrastructure, including the availability of bicycle paths, pedestrian zones, public transport and the degree of traffic congestion, should also be used. Every day a large number of goods are delivered from suppliers to consumers. This is especially true for products with a limited shelf life, such as food and medicines, which must be delivered as quickly as possible. Time constraints, high traffic loads and current traffic conditions increase costs in this system. Therefore, optimization of transport costs taking into account certification becomes a necessity for the efficient operation of this industry.
