Increasing the efficiency of the border station based on the use of the logistics infrastructure facility

Abstract

In the conditions of the war and existing difficulties with international transportation, the railway remains the most stable, reliable and affordable mode of transport today. After the blocking of the ports, export-import transportation of goods takes place to a large extent through the European countries with which Ukraine borders, where border stations play a key role. Export transportation in this direction amounted to about 34 million tons in 2022, which is 10 million tons more than in 2021. For example, the capacity of railway border crossings between Ukraine and Poland is from 150 (Mostyska-2 – Medyka stations) up to 600 wagons per day (Izov – Hrubeshuv stations). Today, the issues of increasing the volume of transportation through border stations are being actively worked out, which should ensure the unhindered passage of railcar traffic thanks to the availability of rational technology for processing export-import railcar traffic, the transfer of goods from one country to another.
