Abstract

The article substantiates the need to develop a technique of composing optimum integrated cargo units for piece goods in soft packing according to the integrated circuit "a cargo item - a transport package - a container" in their mutual coordination. The requirements and corresponding mathematical conditions of technological compatibility of transport packages and vehicles have been formulated: maximum use of loading capacity and tonnage of transport packages and vehicles, maximum use of loading capacity of the reloading equipment. Similar mathematical conditions of technological compatibility of containers and vehicles have been defined. Algorithms of carrying out computer analysis work on composing an optimum transport package have been offered: determination of parameters of a consumer (transport) package, an optimum way of location of packages in a transport package and their total number. At the same time there has been taken into account importance to maintain the standards of overall dimensions of a transport package, internal dimensions and loading capacity of a container, characteristics of loaders. The article offers the algorithm defining the rational scheme of locating the formed optimum transport packages in a container: determining net volume of a container, finding optimum placement of transport packages in a container and norms of its loading. There have been considered advantages of the developed techniques and algorithms for carrying out further researches, as well as for practical activities of cargo owners, transport and forwarding companies when planning delivery of cargo parties, forming optimum transport packages directly at manufacturing plants, deciding the best schemes of loading of large-capacity containers with transport packages.
