An improved method for evaluating freight transportation process using matrix modelling has been suggested. This procedure involves constructing matrices that describe the distinct stages of transport process: loading, handling, unloading. For this purpose the approaches to determine efficiency indices have been considered. According to the criteria the indices have been selected and regulated, ordered series of indices to be included in each of the matrices have been formed. The approach to determine an integral estimate of the efficiency of freight transportation process, which is based on the results of calculating matrices, has also been substantiated.

Key words: matrix modelling, transportation, efficiency indices of transportation process, block coefficients, integral estimate.
