Cargo Transportation

Description: The discipline provides for the study of the theoretical foundations and methods of organizing the delivery of goods by road. The questions of the choice of rolling stock and its effective use, the development of rational routes for the delivery of goods, the organization of package and container transportation are considered. Attention is paid to the regulatory and legal support of the transportation process, as well as the problems of coordinating the operation of vehicles and loading and unloading points.
