Computer modeling and simulation of discrete transport system with dispatcher for reliability and economic analysis

Abstract

A method of reliability and economic analysis related to discrete transport systems with dispatcher is presented. The proposed analysis is based on modeling and simulating of the system behavior. The position of dispatcher is to mimic a function of real transport logistic. The Monte Carlo simulation is used for proper reliability and economic parameters calculation. No restriction on the system structure and on a kind of distribution is the main advantage of the method. The paper presents some exemplar system modeling. The author stress the problem of influence of the reliability parameters for final system economic measures (i.e. costs). The presented problem is practically essential for defining an organization of vehicle maintenance and transport system logistics.
