MODELING OF PROCESSES OF INTERACTION OF TRANSPORT MODES FOR OPTIMIZATION OF LOGISTICS CHAINS

Abstract

This article is devoted to the modeling of interaction processes of various types of transport with the aim of optimizing logistics chains. The work examines the key aspects and methods of integration of transport systems to ensure the efficient and uninterrupted functioning of logistics chains. Ensuring effective interaction between different modes of transport is critical for optimizing logistics chains. This problem has become especially relevant in connection with globalization and growing requirements for speed and reliability of goods delivery. A high level of coordination between road, rail, water and air transport is a necessary condition for achieving optimal logistics. The purpose of this study was to model the processes of interaction of different types of transport to identify and overcome bottlenecks in logistics chains. An important task was to develop an effective model that would allow for seamless and cost-effective integration of transport systems. In the course of the research, several models were created that take into account different scenarios of interaction between modes of transport. The impact of various factors such as delivery time, transportation cost, infrastructure availability and environmental performance were analyzed. In particular, it was established that the combined use of rail and road transport significantly reduces delivery time compared to the use of only one mode of transport. In addition, simulations have shown that route optimization and efficient use of logistics hubs can significantly reduce overall transportation costs. The obtained results demonstrate that the integration of different types of transport is a key element for the optimization of logistics chains. The developed models can be used as a basis for further research and practical implementation in the field of logistics. The application of the proposed approaches will help increase the efficiency of transport systems and ensure competitiveness on the global market. The results of the research can be useful for a wide range of specialists and organizations, in particular, enterprises engaged in the organization of transportation and logistics services, government structures responsible for the regulation of transport policy and infrastructure development, scientists and students working on the study of logistics systems and transport processes.
