Abstract

The paper deals with the technologic design of cargo ports and terminals viewed as an example of a general fuctional design procedure. The goal of the functional design is in syntheses of the structure and parameters of an object enabling it to perform required key functions. In the context of the technologic design of cargo ports and terminals this task demands to provide justification of the structure and parameters of main tecnologic componets of the object: equipment, facilities, buildings, personal. The paper studies the official standrds and norms that impose a problem for the technologic design as an important part of the complex project. The problem is that the technologic design is excluded from the set of basic documents governing the structure and context of the resulting project documentation. On the other hand, actual norms of technologic design place a very strict reglamentation on every technologic sulution, in assumption that it would automatically provide the required complience with the demands for the final result of the design procedure. Such approach is found not only to bring off the results from the optimal solutions, but to put obstacles for using new progressive methods. Consequently, the cistomers develop the mistrust for the results of the design’s results, since they are interested in the final product and not in the procedure of its obtaining. The paper highlights this fact as the main reason why modern non-reglamentated methods are very poorely presented in the practice. In the same time, the modern spectrum of new mathematical tools, first to mention the object-oriented simulation, is very wide, and an exessive experience of the operation of the designed technolodical objects is accumulated. All these demand not for changing of the models used in the technologic design, but for the changing of the technologic design’s model, which is exactly the focus of this paper. Key words: functional design, simulation modelling, ports, terminals.
