Methodology for determining the optimal territorial location of transport and logistics terminals on river transport
Abstract
The article discusses the problem of determining the optimal location of cargo terminals in the cargo delivery system. The methods and approaches by which this task is traditionally solved are considered. Based on the analysis of scientific publications, it was concluded that it is advisable to use the center of gravity method of cargo flows to solve the indicated problem. Proposals have been made to finalize this approach, taking into account a number of additional criteria that are important for interested participants in the transport and logistics delivery system. The methodology for determining the optimal location of the terminal in the system of cargo transportation along the international transport corridor with the participation of river transport has been developed and presented. The results of testing of the methodology on the reference example on grain transportation within the framework of the international transport corridor "North-South" are given. Conclusions were drawn on the possibility of using the proposed methodology in the formation of a reference network of terminals in transport and logistics systems for the delivery of goods in international and regional traffic, as well as possible directions for its development.
