Assessment of the state of development of the urban traffic system (on the example of Nur-Sultan)

Abstract

The system of city logistics for commodity distribution provides an increase in the efficiency of its
economic activity.
Currently, there is an acute shortage of theoretical and practical research in the field of city logistics in
the domestic scientific literature. The article identifies the main problems in the development of commodity
distribution in the city of Nur-Sultan through conducting a survey and studying the practice of product
distribution.
As a result of analyzing the current state of logistics infrastructure in the Nur-Sultan city agglomeration, the
problem of its uneven development is revealed, which consists in the fact that applied method of addressing
problematic areas of the logistics infrastructure locally within individual cities and regions of city agglomeration
does not allow optimizing the material and human flows in the logistics infrastructure of the city agglomeration
as a whole.
To solve problems of commodity distribution organization, practical measures of high priority are proposed.
In particular, it is proposed to tackle the situation by using multimodal transportation in the city, as well as
by creating a single integrated information transport and logistics urban distribution system in large cities, in
particular, in the metropolis of the capital.
