Abstract
The results obtained in the investigation aimed to improve the transportation of commercial freight for short hauls in the city are presented. The performed tasks included the statistical analysis of freight flows; the forecast of the freight flows; a synthesis of a topological stmcture of the urban system of freight transportation and the description of the optimal structure of the truck stock. The conclusions have also been drawn and some recommendations provided.
Highlights
It seems that the improvement of transportation may be achieved by merely replacing the available transport facilities with the new ones
The total number of trucks may be expressed in this way: of lots of goods according to their size and to know the average number of truck hauls in 24 hours
A number of hauls perfonned by the trucks of the stock during the planned period may be obtained from the fommla (19), ne = 26 600, while the same parameter according to truck tonnage nel = I0 600; ne2 = 3110 ; ne3 = 12 890
Summary
It seems that the improvement of transportation may be achieved by merely replacing the available transport facilities with the new ones. Transportation technology as a whole should be improved. This requires a thorough analysis of the problems associated with freight flows, their updating and forecasting, optimization of the road network and traffic, freight distribution, etc. The description of the problems referring to improving freight transportation over long distances and carriage of freight reaching 20-40 tons may be found in [1,2,3,4]. The following tasks were performed: 1) the statistical analysis of the flows of freight was made; 2) forecasting of freight flows was carried out; 3) the structure of the stock of trucks of optimal tonnage was outlined; 4) freight consignments and the ways of transportation were determined
