ABSTRACT:
The article is devoted to analyzing and systematizing the effects and consequences of modernization and development of transport logistics, infrastructure and system in the Visegrad countries, in particular at theoretical and practical levels. It was argued that investing in the transport system and infrastructure in the Visegrad Group countries has effectively and variably affected the level of trade activity and exports, the overall level of in- vestment and capital activity of countries, the transportation volumes, and thus the income, gross product and inflation fluctuations. However, the countries of the Visegrad Group have historically been characterized by the lagging behind investment in transport from the European average indicators. In general, it was found that modernization and development of transport logistics, infrastructure and systems in the Visegrad Group countries during the late 20 – early 21 century have significant consequences that differ from the consequences of transport development for most of the 20 century. As a result, it gave sufficient grounds to state that transport logistics, infrastructure and system in the Visegrad Group countries, although characterized by significant modernization effects, still have significant gaps in their development that need to be solved.
