Abstract
A multi-agent approach is proposed in the complex researches time and cost indicators of multimodal freight transportation on the railway loop, carried out in the direction of the port unloading stations. Along with the traditional subjects of the transportation process, such as the infrastructure owner, the carrier, the operator company (the rolling stock owner), the logistics company and clients (consignors and cargo’s owners), a “green logistics” agent is introduced. This agent is a concept that accumulates forms of manifestation of a conscious attitude of society to the environment in transport and logistics activities. Based on the assessment of the transport and technological railway loop infrastructure and the cost of transport services, a mathematical model of the freight transportation process is built, which is a multi-criteria transport problem. The choice of objective functions and constraints in the task is aimed at, first of all, taking into account the diverse interests of the agent “green logistics”. The algorithm for solving the problem, presented in the form of an integer programming problem, is based on the fundamental principles of the egalitarian and utilitarian approaches in the welfare theory. The implementation of the corresponding calculations for the grain transportation is performed in the environment of the computer mathematics system.
Highlights
“green logistics” can be presented as a synthetic scientific direction, the purpose of the research in which is the development of innovative logistics technologies that minimize harmful emissions and the resulting pollution into the environment at all supply chain stages
It’s means multimodality of transportation, as well as the desire to take into account the interests of such an agent as “green logistics”
This research develops an approach to the organization of multimodal freight transportation on the near-port part of the railway loop, which is based on two concepts in the welfare theory
Summary
“green logistics” can be presented as a synthetic scientific direction, the purpose of the research in which is the development of innovative logistics technologies that minimize harmful emissions and the resulting pollution into the environment at all supply chain stages.Modern research is devoted to various “green logistics” aspects. “green logistics” can be presented as a synthetic scientific direction, the purpose of the research in which is the development of innovative logistics technologies that minimize harmful emissions and the resulting pollution into the environment at all supply chain stages. “Green” supply chain management methods are discussed in [2,3,4,5]. The “green logistics” concept in relation to various modes of transport is presented in [6,7,8]. Transport is one of the main environmental pollutants. The most common air pollutants from mobile sources are carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds [9]
