The purpose of the article is to study the economic aspects of organizing the transportation of oversized cargo, as well as to develop practical recommendations for increasing the efficiency of the delivery of oversized cargo in Ukraine. In wartime, ensuring the movement of oversized and heavy cargo, in particular, such as: military equipment, building materials for the reconstruction of destroyed facilities and specialized equipment, is a priority, which makes this study extremely relevant. The work reveals the organization of oversized cargo transportation, identifies the main problems in logistics processes and their relationships with external factors, in particular: economic, technical. The nature and main types of oversized cargo, transportation requirements are determined. The study of segments of the transport and logistics system, the assessment of the costs of transporting oversized cargo allowed the authors to identify the main barriers in this area, to identify contradictions in the processes of organizing transportation of oversized cargo, in particular between regulatory requirements for transportation and the real capabilities of the transport infrastructure in conditions of hostilities, and to develop recommendations for their elimination. The use of economic analysis to determine the costs associated with the transportation of oversized cargo contributed to taking into account risk factors, route specifics, and the use of specialized equipment. The work also analyzed the components of costs for the transportation of oversized cargo and innovative approaches to optimizing logistics processes in terms of cost savings, thanks to the use of LIDAR systems for route planning. The work focuses on the need to integrate modern technologies by transport and logistics enterprises to increase the economic efficiency of transportation, ensure safety, and save costs. A conceptual model of the implementation of innovative technologies, such as LIDAR, into the transport and logistics system was built to increase the accuracy, economy, and efficiency of transportation of oversized cargo. Effective tools and measures were considered that could increase the economic efficiency of the use of specialized transport through the coordination of relations between all links and participants in the process. The synergistic approach in the study allowed the authors to identify the interdependence between the modernization of transport infrastructure, the integration of innovations, and the economic efficiency of oversized cargo transportation, as well as to develop practical recommendations.
