Methodology for the Assessment and Comprehensive Diagnosis
of the Formation and Spatial Organization of Transportation and
Communication Infrastructure
Abstract: This scientific article presents an analysis of methodologies for assessing the transportation infrastructure of
regions, both in the global and domestic scientific literature. The underlying aim of this analysis is to identify existing problems
and limitations in current methodologies. The primary goal of the research is to identify missing and fundamental aspects
that should be considered in the development of an improved authorial methodology for assessing and comprehensively
diagnosing the formation and spatial organization of transportation and communication infrastructure. Based on the
analysis, the author comes to the understanding that the assessment methodology should encompass indicators that take
into account various aspects of infrastructure development, rely on open data to ensure accessibility and transparency, and
strive for universality, meaning it should be applicable for evaluating different regions and conditions.
Keywords: transportation and communication infrastructure, transportation infrastructure, region, automotive
transport, spatial-functional approach.
