Abstract
Recently, the demand for cargo transportation in insulated equipment has increased. The main competitors in this traffic can be considered road and rail transport modes. The results of the expert survey of the freight market, allow the statement that the demand for freight transportation in insulated cars of different types is increasing. Existing methods of identifying areas of management do not conform to the concepts of logistics. One of the options to determine the scope of the rational use of means of transport is to find an equivalent distance of transportation. Existing studies of the equivalent distance are based on motion and initial-end operations, not taking into account a number of factors that influence the choice of transport mode. A mathematical model of changing of economic profit of logistics system when transporting freight by road and rail was worked out. The use of the economic profit as a performance criterion allows taking into account implicit benefits and costs of the logistics system. Based on the data obtained during the modeling, the regularities between the technological and economic parameters of transportation and the equivalent distance with or without local railways were determined. The use of these laws will improve the efficiency of the logistics system by optimization of the transport process.
