Analysis of the potential of contrailer transport (on the example of the Kaliningrad transport hub)

The subject of the research is study potential piggyback transportation on basis multimodal terminal and warehouse infrastructure Kaliningrad railway. relevance topic determined by intensification international trade, which requires simplification receiving dispatching transfer operations in a complex logistics system for delivery goods use intermodal transport modules to speed up listed operations, and, as result, reduce time goods. One types piggyback, can be transported both rail road transport, processed at specialized cargo terminals. As rule, terminals are located large hubs with significant volumes transit traffic. conditions hub considered formation framework development transportation. Methods used: analytical, design, evolutionary-functional, forecasting. With help forecasting analysis methods, market railway has been investigated, taking into account statistical data over past few years. features functioning servicing using technologies considered. performance indicators have studied, several alternative scenarios dynamics means contrailers predicted. A general assessment region prospective volume foreign trade piggyback.
