Transportation planning and management are integral processes in the activities of transport companies. Transportation management is an established structure that provides influence on the participants in the activity to comply with a certain system, discipline, mode of operation, and achieve the results indicated by planning.

Transportation planning in transport companies is divided into three types: forward-looking, ongoing, and operational. Long-term planning is characterized by the formation of a strategic program for the development of activities for a long-term period. When developing a strategy, the enhancement of the economy and social aspects is considered with the help of appropriate analysis. The correct application of the latest forecasting methods plays a special role in long-term planning. Current planning is carried out for one year. This type of planning considers the possible upcoming volume of work, which is calculated based on existing contracts for the provision of services and companies prepared for cooperation, and one-time orders are also taken into account. With current planning, all necessary costs are calculated, and resources are planned. Operational planning is carried out in real-time. The longest forecasting period is one month. During operational planning, certain tasks are carried out such as the formation of work schedules, the formation of a transportation plan, routing, calculation of future costs, determination of the level of stocks and resources required for transportation, the formation of a daily work plan, a traffic schedule, and the preparation of the necessary documentation. In most cases, the type of operational planning is widespread in transport organizations since it has the most significant and real effect and allows you to quickly respond to changes in the service market.
