Abstract
A system of functional relationships between speed, traffic safety and costs, based on a set of criteria describing transportation quality is presented. The overall technological costs of transportation can be determined, when the costs of using road, rail and sea transport are calculated. For this purpose, a case study of creating a mathematical model for choosing the optimal route, taking into account time, costs and safety of transportation, is considered. The model evaluates the time of freight loading and storage at terminals. The total time of transportation, loading and storage differs for particular routes, depending on route structure and terminal operation. Freight safety is calculated in terms of insurance payments, depending on the type of goods, route and time of transportation. The model may be used for calculating any route, when applying the data on particular parks of vehicles.
Highlights
It is hardly possible to carry goods quickly, safely and at low cost to any place in the world by using only one transport facility
Rational functional relationships should be established between various means of transport, taking into account the volume and safety of goods as well as time and cost of transportation
The present paper aims to create and analyse a mathematical-economic model for choosing rational routes of freight transportation, using road, railway and water transport and taking into account the particular parks of various transport facilities
Summary
It is hardly possible to carry goods quickly, safely and at low cost to any place in the world by using only one transport facility. All means of transport (i.e. road, railroad and water transport) should be integrated into a single system of transportation. For this purpose, rational functional relationships should be established between various means of transport, taking into account the volume and safety of goods as well as time and cost of transportation. The present paper aims to create and analyse a mathematical-economic model for choosing rational routes of freight transportation, using road (automobile), railway and water transport and taking into account the particular parks of various transport facilities
