Introduction. This article aims to outline the main stages of creating an information support system for Ukraine’s road infrastructure, with a view to further developing effective mechanisms for justifying and rationally planning road construction, reconstruction, repair, and maintenance works.
Problems. Without reliable information about the road network and its traffic congestion, it is impossible to adequately justify the allocation of funds for road maintenance and repair. The road network is constantly undergoing significant changes, both due to destruction caused by the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation and natural degradation, as well as a result of changes in logistics routes, which necessitates the processing of dynamically changing information in order to make the most optimal decisions.
Purpose. Summarize information on the state of information support for the road industry covering the period 2000–2024. Also, the prospects for implementing an information support system for the industry and using it as information support for substantiating decisions on road maintenance and repair, and further development of the network. Systematic provision of information (data) on motorways, structures on them, road service facilities, transport flows, natural and man-made phenomena, which is necessary for planning and carrying out work, will ensure the most efficient use of existing financial resources.
Materials and methods. Methods of comprehensive and systematic analysis, abstract-logical, graphical, statistical.
Results. An analysis of the modern history of information support for Ukraine’s road infrastructure, as well as regulatory and technical aspects of information support, was conducted.
Conclusions. At present, Ukraine’s road sector is theoretically prepared for the large-scale implementation of an information support system and its use as information support for substantiating decisions on road maintenance and repair, as well as further development of the network. The delay is caused by the lack of necessary financial resources, which are currently concentrated on repelling the Russian Federation’s military aggression.
