Eco-green transport and logistics terminal with the suspended cable car

Abstract

The volume of cargo turnover increases annually, while new large companies appear on the market, which, unlike transport companies, can boast of having their own transport and logistics centers, which gives independence and the opportunity for independent improvement. But at the same time, a sharp increase in the number of vehicles and low road capacity leads to delays in deliveries, which is especially important when transporting food and other goods with a limited shelf life. The situation is aggravated by the workload of logistics centers, the presence of toll booths and crossings on transportation routes, as well as increased taxes and fuel costs. All this is reflected in the added value and competitiveness of the company as a whole. Meanwhile, all these factors have a negative impact on the environment, the amount of waste and harmful emissions increases, which should not be left without due attention. Therefore, at the moment there are prerequisites for a wider use of rope transport for the transportation of goods, namely for the transportation of consumer goods at the level of transport and logistics centers. In the course of the study, the main conditions of application and possible ways of combined use of rope transport were determined. As a result, a mathematical model of the feasibility study was obtained and the optimization function of the transport and logistics terminal with the use of an overhead cable car was determined according to the criterion of total unitcosts.
