Typological approach in the study of international transport-logistics corridors
Incoming article date: 10.09.2022International transport-logistics corridors represent the most optimal routes in terms of structure and direction for the spatial movement of goods by various modes of transport. The routes of international transport-logistics corridors pass through the most rational directions. International transport-logistics corridors are the result of integration of the transport systems of neighboring countries into a common single common route. They pursue the goal of ensuring sustainable and reliable transportation of goods both between the countries participating in international transport and logistics corridors, and in the direction of other countries. This ensures the economic efficiency of joint transportation of goods. Therefore, international transport -logistics corridors perform an important transit function, ensuring the passage of large trade and logistics flows. In order to systematize various types of international transport and logistics corridors, their typology is being carried out. The authors of this article consider various types of international transport-logistics corridors, identified according to the most important criteria. According to the purposes of creation and the economic functions performed, transit, developing and trade international transport and logistics corridors were identified. According to the type of communication carried out, the corridors are represented by various types of land, water and air transport. On a spatial basis, trans-European, pan-European corridors, trans-Asian and North American corridors are distinguished. According to the type of transportation, corridors are classified into freight, passenger and cargo-passenger. Depending on the ratio of the parties involved, the corridors are two-sided, unequal and one-sided.
