Abstract

The article discusses approaches to assessing the effectiveness of the use of heavy vehicles on the example of equipment for the transportation of bulk cargo. The modernization of the existing methods for assessing the effectiveness of its application and the choice of specific operating conditions in the presence of uncertainties and existing restrictions in the environment is pro-posed, a methodological approach to solving this problem based on the classical theory of linear programming is proposed. As a result, within the framework of the indicated practical problem, the range of optimal solutions for the value of the load-carrying capacity utilization factor has been determined. The modernization of the existing methods for assessing vehicles based on determining the efficiency of their operation, thus, can be recommended for use by the engineer-ing and technical personnel of motor transport enterprises.

Highlights

  • In nowadays the issues of optimizing the costs of enterprises of all forms of ownership and types of economic activity have been and continue to be a priority

  • It is obvious that the issues of choosing a truck and assessing at the selection stage are the way and foundation for solving such a problem, since they largely determine the values of future operating costs at all stages of the life cycle

  • It is necessary to calculate the ratio of the “beneficial effect from operation” to the costs of achieving it over the entire life cycle of the truck's operation within the framework of the economic activity of a particular operator [12,13,14]

Summary

Introduction

In nowadays the issues of optimizing the costs of enterprises of all forms of ownership and types of economic activity have been and continue to be a priority. This is especially true for organizations in the construction and mining industries, because the constant rise in prices for building materials, metals, fuels and lubricants and spare parts puts many transport enterprises or divisions on the brink of profitability of transportation. It is obvious that the issues of choosing a truck and assessing at the selection stage are the way and foundation for solving such a problem, since they largely determine the values of future operating costs at all stages of the life cycle. Researched and solved [1,2,3], on the other hand, the existing uncertainty in terms of both the current operating environment conditions and possible changes in the current legislation in the field of heavy-duty transport and fiscal restrictions operation, raises many questions about its solution in the modern world.
