The proposed methodology for improving freight delivery enables the calculation of all types of shipments and reduces delivery time. It defines the decision-making process during the execution of various operations at stations. A model based on mathematical modeling of the technological process dependency is proposed for making effective decisions. To verify the methodology for standardizing transportation duration, it is necessary to organize the process considering the delay of each technological operation. The main reason for applying standards is to accelerate cargo delivery and ensure the proper distribution of penalties among railways for late delivery. In turn, this will help develop contractual relationships with clients and improve the overall system.

This article analyzes the problems of organizing international cargo transportation. It is noted that the economic indicators of the transport terminal system in international cargo transportation depend on the following indicators: the level of use of modern methods of organizing and planning rolling stock, as well as the growth rate of indicators of motor transport enterprises, the lack of a market for transport forwarding and customs warehouse services, in connection with this terminal business in all countries of the world is a large process of integration into logistics companies and transport and distribution centers.

The transport system is one of the important factors in the development of the national economy. This article analyzes the contribution of the transport system to trade, industrial growth, employment and regional development by improving the efficiency of mass goods production, regular rapid and safe delivery of large volumes of goods over long (almost unlimited) distances provided by modern transport in any weather. In addition, the article analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of the types of transport and their shares in the volume of foreign trade. Then, the role of railway transport in increasing the export potential was determined and proposals for the development of railway transport were developed
