Simulation of cargo delivery by road carrier: case study of the transportation company

Purpose. To develop a method of simulation the process execution random orders, which would allow substantiating set decisions transport company Trans-Service Ltd. The concern use their own rolling stock, or involvement leased vehicles, as well rational sequence orders. Methodology. A model cycles with discrete time is developed. smallest indivisible duration cycle one working shift. incoming flow orders reflected by coordinates point departure and destination goods. potential are formed number generator. Each order its characteristics, include: delivery point, volume, average time, group size, window. At each step route planning, known, characterized compatibility. Rules for selecting distributing them among existing vehicles have been An algorithm computer program Findings. Simulation was performed 30 calendar days, when flows stationary. steps appropriate. 20 repetitions. results presented value dependences received, executed, rejected carrier, used enterprise obtained. We also received that not fulfilled Companys transport, but accepted help fleet. allowable compatibility ratio varied series experiments. corresponding indicators cooperation under conditions different intensity input were perform experiments initial data, observed in Ltd, Ukraine, an array data formed. Originality. For first indicator organizational technological to select be serviced during simulation, made it possible from stochastic form execution. Practical value. obtained useful developing freight plan based on status capabilities partners.
