Optimization of loading facilities at the terminal

The problems of stock management and proper choice of transport facilities are defined and analysed taking into account the relationship between cost of transportation and vehicle’s capacity and size of cargo lots. By using mathematical statistical methods, the optimal vehicle’s capacity for a particular lot on the routes for taking the cargo out as well as the periodicity of cargo delivery are determined

Some methods of improving freight transportation in short hauls

The results obtained in the investigation aimed to improve the transportation of commercial freight for short hauls in the city are presented. The performed tasks included the statistical analysis of freight flows; the forecast of the freight flows; a synthesis of a topological structure of the urban system of freight transportation and the description of the optimal structure of the truck stock. The conclusions have also been drawn and some recommendations provided

Optimization of technological processes at the terminal

The reliability of terminal operation is analysed by statistical methods based on the collected statistical data. Major estimates are made on a specified credibility level (probability). When the terminal is highly reliable and the interaction between transport facilities, freight senders and recipients is efficient, the work with minimum reserves and lower storage costs may be planned. The optimization problem of managing the interaction of railway and road transport at the seaport terminals is considered and the number of transfers to the port or approach roads is determined
