Research of the logistics sphere for combined cargoes delivery by the analytical methods

In the article, on the example of planning and organizing container transportation of combined cargoes along the internal transport routes of Russia, a mathematical model and methodology for studying the logistics sphere of the processes under consideration are reviewed. The logistics of combined cargoes transportation can be represented as a continuous supply chain that does not have a material expression by itself, but forms some independent transport system that ensures the physical promotion of material flows and goods. Thus, the need for logistics is dictated by the necessity for a rational solution to a number of logistics tasks related to transportation. At the same time, the transport packaging of small consignments, which meets the principles of integrity and consistency of the process under consideration, not only dictates the forms and methods of attracting modes of transport to transportation, but also largely affects the theology of transportation and transshipment applied to such cargoes, and therefore the choice of the cargo delivery route. The specifics of such goods delivery to the consumer is that small shipments at one stage of transportation often lose the advantages inherent in container theologies due to the need for timely return of linear containers to the sea terminal. At the same time, there is a need for additional transshipment operations that ensure the transfer of batches of goods from one mode of transport to another, as well as the transportation of goods in enlarged cargo spaces formed on pallets together with other people’s cargo and a number of other independent factors. The described model considers the functioning of an unmanaged logistics environment, which is characterized by a significant set of random parameters. In such an environment, using an unpredictable number of transshipment and transportation technologies, the whole set of quantitative and qualitative indicators describing its activities is proposed to be expressed in points form.
