Solutions for transport and technological systems of regular container transportation

Abstract

The limitations that hinder the effective organization of logistics of cargo transportation by container trains have been identified. The developed technical and technological models of container terminals are presented: a container storage and distribution center (container marshaling yard) and a rack-type container terminal, within the framework of transport and technological systems of regular container traffic. A key distinctive feature of the developed functional models of container terminals is to provide the possibility of end-to-end reception of full-component container trains to the container terminal and performing in-line processing of container trains, eliminating sorting and shunting operations associated with their preliminary reformulation, as well as replacing station sorting work with wagons with container sorting by destination using loading and unloading mechanisms. The technological aspects of their application in transport and technological systems of regular container traffic are considered. The requirements for the provision of container service using the proposed functional models of container terminals as the main elements in the logistics chain are formulated. A SWOT analysis of transport and technological systems of regular container traffic was performed based on the organization of end-to-end in-line processing of container trains in the conditions of terminal technology.
