Прискорення доставки вантажів на основі організації групових вантажних поїздів

Abstract

In transport logistics, this study focuses on developing a methodology for predicting the travel time of loaded wagons by grouping express freight trains to reduce the delivery time of local cargo. This approach helps to increase efficiency and reduce the time spent on wagon operations. The development of transport logistics is based on the creation of transport and technological systems that serve the economic interests of shippers, railways, and consignees. An important principle of logistics is the minimization of costs, inventories of raw materials, fuel, and finished products to the lowest possible levels within the production and transportation process. Therefore, the issues of scientific and technical development of freight and commercial operations in railway transport form an important part of the logistics chain. Since freight and commercial operations extend beyond the boundaries of the main transport process and are directly linked to producers, consumers, and marketing activities, this area can be considered a component of the global logistics system. The effective functioning of the entire railway transport system largely depends on the quality of cargo delivery operations.
