Technology for selecting efficient vehicles with different freightcargo flow
The article is devoted to the selection of optimal modes of vehicles for implementation flows of a given structure. It is given the effective investment in vehicles and competent technology for their use. The model is graph money that goes along arcs. Each unit of cash flows corresponds to two parameters: the transported goods and the resulting income. The model can set transport plans for regions and modes of transport, as well as restrictions on cash and cargo flows. The criterion is the maximum profit when the restrictions are limited. If the plan is not executed it is assigned a penalty. The model is implemented for three regions and three types of relatively interchangeable modes of transport: boxcar, containers and cars (trucks). The obtained results are presented.
