Abstract:
The aim of the article is to analyze the current state and development prospects of multimodal transportation, to examine its efficiency and advantages compared to traditional modes of transport, and to identify the main problems and ways to solve them in order to improve logistics efficiency and the integration of transportation systems. The overall aim of the study is to determine and substantiate efficient strategies for the development of multimodal passenger transportation in Ukraine to ensure safe, comfortable, and economically viable passenger transport. The article explores the current state and prospects for the development of multimodal passenger transportation in Ukraine. The article considers the principles of integrating different types of transport into a unified system capable of ensuring continuous and efficient passenger movement. Special attention is given to the regulatory and legal support for the functioning of transportation infrastructure, modern logistical approaches to route formation, and the use of digital technologies for planning «door-to-door» transportation. The role of multimodal transportation in increasing the convenience, speed, and safety of passenger flows is assessed. The authors examine the impact of the ongoing war on Ukraine’s transport system during 2022–2024, including evacuation operations, the delivery of humanitarian aid, and the resilience of infrastructure during crises. The analysis covers the destruction of transport facilities and the challenges of their restoration, as well as ways to integrate the Ukrainian transport network into the European TEN-T system. It is demonstrated that the efficient operation of multimodal transportation in crisis conditions requires a comprehensive approach, infrastructure modernization, the implementation of digital solutions, and international cooperation. Based on the analysis, key factors for the successful development of multimodal transportation have been identified, including systemic planning, route optimization, improving logistics efficiency, ensuring passenger safety, and the resilience of the transport system. The study provides practical recommendations for implementing modern technologies and improving the management of multimodal routes, which helps enhance the competitiveness of the Ukrainian transport sector internationally and ensures its capacity to respond to crisis challenges. The practical significance lies in the applicability of the proposed strategies and recommendations for improving the integration of different modes of transport, boosting safety, comfort, and the accessibility of passenger transportation. Overall, this research makes an important contribution to the study of multimodal passenger transport in Ukraine, offering scientifically grounded recommendations for optimizing transport flows, increasing transport efficiency, and enhancing the quality of passenger services.

Keywords: multimodal transportation, passenger transport, optimization of traffic flows, logistics, transportation efficiency, integrated systems, quality of service, route management, transport safety, innovative technologies, transportation planning.
