Terminalistics as the study of transport and warehousing systems
An attempt wasmade to characterize terminalistics as a new, evolutionary direction of the transport and logistics of scientific thought. The conceptual apparatus were given, as well as a brief description of its methodology. The conceptual framework of terminalistics was developed to reflect the key position of methodology of management of transport and storage systems. It provides scientific and practical relevance of design knowledge about logistics facilities in an independent scientific direction for the integrated research, as well as for rational design, operation and management transport-warehousing systems of any complexity.
