Abstract
The improvement of transportation systems and technologic equipment leads to changing technical capabilities of this equipment. With the development of technologies, industrial development is also inevitable, resulting in correspondingly increasing need of transportation of HeavyWeight and OverSize (HW/OS) cargo. The application of a systematic approach in HW/OS cargo transportation processes allows reducing costs of delivery of such a cargo several times, which leads to a dramatic change of economic development and investment attraction conditions. Thus creating a system of criteria for the selection and assessment of HW/OS routes, which would allow selecting the most appropriate route of transportation in terms of cost and time, is expedient for this reason. The algorithm for the assessment of HW/OS cargo transportation routes will be drawn up in this article. This algorithm enables an objective evaluation of HW/OS transportation processes comparing different modes of transport, route segments, cargo transportation and cargo handling technology, and it can be practically applied to any territory.
Highlights
In the majority of cases, standardization of the technology of transportation of HeavyWeight and OverSize cargo is very complex
Cases of HeavyWeight and OverSize (HW/OS) cargo transportation are sporadic, without expecting the transportation of the said nature going in the same route to repeat in the future, transport infrastructure is not sufficiently adapted for HW/OS cargo, and there is no methodology for the selection of HW/OS cargo transportation routes, which would facilitate this process (Drličiak, Čelko 2016; Skorobogatova, Kuzmina-Merlino 2017; Kemmerling, Stephan 2015; Tokunova 2017; Gadelshina, Vakhitova 2015, etc.)
Development of industry has an influence on HW/OS cargo transportation in all countries, and this is why such criteria system should be created
Summary
In the majority of cases, standardization of the technology of transportation of HeavyWeight and OverSize cargo (hereinafter – HW/OS cargo) is very complex. The route for carrying HW/OS cargo usually is evaluated and designed individually For this reason, transportation process of HW/OS cargo becomes a problem, because investments for upgrading road transport infrastructure comprises a relatively large share of the total project cost. Conditions of acquisition of new technologies, interest rates and possibilities to obtain bank funding determine the development of innovative technologies, at the same time promoting or suppressing HW/OS cargo transportation Another important factor in this field is competitive conditions of such transportation and the cost of labour, its availability in areas where cargoes of such type are transported. – The corridor of cargo transportation in the road section is too low, FAKZ: height of the corridor is appropriate; minor improvements are necessary; major works are required; the problem cannot be rationally resolved. The optimal solution is selected by examining all values with respective solutions
