The article deals with the problem of creating the structure of a vehicle fleet. Today when specialists solve this problem, they rather use their experience and intuition, based on one criterion, which is the most important in their opinion. The most usual criterion, in this case, is the cost of a vehicle and the level of vehicle safety is often neglected. Meanwhile, the increase in this level is one of the World Health Organization’s activities aimed at decreasing the number of road traffic injuries within the Decade of Action for Road Safety. This article analyzes different quality indicators of goods transportation by automobile transport. As a result, it establishes a list of indicators that can be important when solving the task of creating a rational vehicle fleet to satisfy the requirements for goods transportation in the mineral resources sector. The article also describes the validation scheme for weighting factors used for the indicators in the list. As a consequence, the algorithm for vehicle fleet creation is developed.
