Summary/Abstract: It is established that with the help of mathematical modeling it is possible to estimate functional links between different parameters that influence the delivery time in international communication. The model of the choice of the type of connection according to the time criterion, which has practical value, can be used to make a decision when choosing a variant of the combination (automotive or piggyback). The ease of use of the developed models has advantages over all previously proposed because it allows you to calculate the economic feasibility of using the type of combination not only as an area of effective use, but also for each individual case to determine the efficiency of choosing the type of connection. The use of models gives the opportunity to economically justify the choice of the type of connection and will allow the motor transport company to reduce transportation costs by 10-15%.
