Construction of a simulation model for the transportation of perishable goods along variable routes

The object of research is the system organization transportation perishable goods. study subject technological process goods by small shipments. problem solved was a multicriteria optimization delivery results are built simulation model for distribution consignments and according to criterion minimizing time while limiting rational use available vehicles. To construct model, discrete-event agent-based principles were used. combines solution transport traveling salesman simultaneously with taking into account stochastic duration operations. When forming route, algorithm takes minimum allowable batch size i-th destination, which allows each build new unique route vehicle. Unlike existing ones, constructed peculiarities network, consignment cargo, dynamically changing in accordance cargo. Each cargo mass arrives at logistics terminal, condition sufficient quantity intended points sale checked. If shipment equal capacity car body, information message generated on availability ready shipment. Scope conditions practical obtained include companies, retail chains,
