THE ROLE OF TRANSPORTATION TECHNOLOGIES IN LOGISTICS

U ovom radu bit će obrađena problematika uloge transportnih tehnologija u logistici te njihov razvoj tijekom vremena. Predmet istraživanja diplomskog rada odnosi se na istraživanje teorijskih odrednica transportnih tehnologija i njihove uloge u razvoju svakog gospodarstva. Kao dio logističkog lanca, transport predstavlja vrlo važnu kariku u povezivanju proizvođača i krajnjeg potrošača te on omogućava realizaciju što brže dostave robe. Transportne tehnologije rezultat su sve većih zahtjeva potrošača ali i novog načina poslovanja brojnih poduzeća kojima je cilj na što efikasniji i učinkovitiji način zadovoljiti potrebe tržišta. Svrha rada odnosi se na definiranje logističkih procesa, suvremenih transportnih tehnologija i uloge Europske unije u razvoju hrvatskog transportnog sustava. Cilj rada je prikazati ulogu koju ima transport u logističkim sustavima. Isto tako odredit će se značaj transporta i transportnih tehnologija za razvoj svakog gospodarstva te važnost ulaganja u njegovu nadogradnju i razvoj.This paper covers the role of technology in transport logistics and its development over time. The subject of research in this thesis refers to the study of theoretical determinants of transport technologies and their role in the development of any economy. As a part of the logistics chain, the transport represents a very important link that connects the manufacturer and the end consumer and allows faster delivery of goods. The transport technologies are a result of increasing demands of consumers as well as a new way to meet the needs of the market in the most efficient and effective way. This paper will define the logistics processes, contemporary transport technologies and the role of the European Union in the development of the Croatian transport system. The aim is to show the role played by transport in logistics systems. Also, it will determine the meaning of transport and transport technologies for the development of any economy as well as the importance of continual investment in its construction and development
