SIMULATION OF COMBINED CARGOES TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM

Abstract

The assessment of container technologies introduction impact on the transportation of combined shipments deep into the hintreland of the sea container terminal is carried out. The consequences of transferring the main burden of bulk cargo transshipment from the seaport territory to the rear areas of railway container terminals are revealed. The mechanism of reducing the total number and further promotion of transshipment operations to the consignees warehouses gates is considered. The advantages of the introduction of new means of combined cargo consolidation, which ensure the release of heavy container and cargo movement deep into the mainland, while maintaining the advantages of container technologies, are noted. To solve the issues of resource assessment in the transport technologies under consideration, a method for measuring individual types of resources and determining the efficiency level of these resources proportions as part of a particular transport technology is proposed. The task of forming the transportation technology based on the characteristics of optimal participation of each of used in the transportation process resources is formulated. As an example of the above approach, the calculation of the number of tonne operations for different variants of the transportation organization is given. It is noted that the transfer of the main weight of the tonnage operations for the combined cargoes transshipment in a single piece form from the seaport territory to the railway container terminals (cargo stations) by organizing the transportation of such goods in heavy containers is not reflected in the reduction of the tonnage operations total number. The introduction of consolidation new means, namely, in-transit modules, capable to bring the transshipment of tare-pieced cargoes as close as possible to the consignees warehouses, is designed to contribute to this problem solution.
