Optimization Model of the Transport and Production Cycle in International Cargo Transportation

Abstract

Organization of international cargo transportation in the interaction space of different modes of transport is a multi-level transport and production cycle, which consists of many technological processes. For effective realization of transport and production cycle of cargo delivery in international traffic, it is necessary to solve problems of its optimization at all functional levels. The solution of optimization problems is achieved by applying an economic and mathematical model, on the basis of which the optimal variant of international cargo transportation in the conditions of interaction of several modes of transport is determined. The paper presents an economic and mathematical model of optimization of international cargo transportation in the interaction space of transport modes. The given model takes into account both economic indicators, and influence of internal and external space on a transport and production cycle. The developed economic and mathematical model of optimization of the international cargo correspondences provides a choice of an optimum variant of realization of transport services, including in space of interaction of modes of transport. The task of optimization of transport and production cycle of international cargo transportations is solved in the context of consecutive performance of technological processes, subprocesses, operations, sub-operations and norms.
