Today, more and more
international traffic is carried by road. Like other types of cargo transportation, road transport has both its positive and negative sides. Well, firstly, the carriage of goods by road is a fast way to deliver oversized cargo. The speed of delivery, as well as the absence of intermediate operations along the way of cargo, distinguishes the transportation of goods by road, as the mobility of the transportation process significantly reduces the cost of its organization. For example, <a href = "

> delivery of goods from China is most often carried out by road. And there is no secret in this: transportation costs less, the process itself is safer and faster, especially when sea transportation becomes impossible or insanely expensive for a number of reasons.
However, it is impossible not to note a number of shortcomings in the carriage of goods by road:
1) limited use over long distances when transporting large quantities of goods;
2) complete dependence on the road network;
3) the high cost of transporting small-sized cargo over long distances;
4) limiting the geography of transportation in the winter period.
