Abstract
Multimodal transport terminals are the elements of transport systems that ensure the interaction of enterprises of various modes of transport. The effective functioning of transport terminals significantly affects the efficiency of the material flow servicing in a supply chain and the sustainability of the whole transport system. The paper proposes an approach to determine the optimal parameters of production resources in multimodal transport terminals, based on numerical computer simulations of technological operations in a transport terminal for the given parameters of incoming and outgoing material flows. The practical use of the proposed approach is shown on the example of the Amur Harbor cargo area of the Dnipro River Port.
Highlights
Terminals are locations where freight either originate, terminate, or are handled in the transportation process [1]
The goal of this paper is to present an approach toward optimizing the production resources of a multimodal transport terminal by using numerical computer simulations of the servicing technological process
The paper has the following structure: the second part contains the list of problems related to transport hub logistics management and presents the efficiency criterion for solving the listed problems; the third part depicts the design and results of the simulation experiment performed in order to define the functional dependence of the efficiency criterion on the numerical characteristics of the terminal’s production resources and parameters of the demand for the transport hub services; in the fourth part, the case study of the proposed approach for the Amur-Harbor cargo area of the Dnipro River Port is presented; the last part contains short conclusions and directions for further research
