This article presents the results of a study devoted to the development of a methodology for the formation and standardization of the labor intensity of a set of machines used in road construction. It is emphasized that the improvement of the efficiency of a road construction enterprise directly depends on the optimization of the use of the machinery fleet. A key factor of optimization is the development of a regulatory framework for the labor intensity of road construction machines, combined into complete and structured systems that take into account the specifics of technological processes in the construction of road elements. As a result of the conducted research, a methodology was developed for the formation and standardization of the labor intensity of a system of machines used in road construction. Within this methodology, block diagrams were developed, representing an algorithm for determining the need for road construction equipment to form an optimal system of machines intended for road construction, as well as an algorithm for its practical implementation. Additionally, nomograms were developed for the formation of a system of machines used in the construction of road elements, based on the developed normative values of the labor intensity of road construction equipment.
