Modeling of material flow management processes in the formation of transport logistics chains

Abstract

Abstract The article proposes a mathematical model for optimizing the interaction of road and sea transport. The model allows to optimize the process of material flow management in the formation of transport logistics chains. The solution to this problem is especially important given the observed growth of competition between operators carrying out cargo transportation along international transport corridors. The application of the model is aimed at reducing the idle time of both vehicles waiting for unloading in the port, and reducing the idle time of ships awaiting loading of ships in ports. The relevance of using the proposed model is based on the constant growth of cargo traffic going through the ports, as well as the existing restrictions expressed in the lack of space for storing goods in anticipation of the arrival of ships in most modern ports participating in international cargo transportation, in addition, an important factor is that in most of these ports the time the passage of trucks to the port is regulated by certain hours of the day.
