Influence of Technical and Operational Indicators on the Results of Planning Motor Transport Operation

Mathematical apparatus for calculating the road transport operation volume, existing in the modern theory, corresponds to the only technology of the transport process – functioning of the pendulum route with reverse unloaded mileage. However, modern specifics of freight motor transport enterprises functioning today is, as a rule, a frequent change of the clientele, types of freights and their volumes, distances of transportations, quantity and type of the rolling stock, average sizes of the technical and operational indicators, road congestion, number of drivers, condition of technological infrastructure and material and technical service opportunities. In this regard, studies have been carried out and the results aimed at making informed management decisions and accurate calculation of the planned need for vehicles have been presented. In the course of the research the methods of linear programming; professionallogical approach using the apparatus of mathematical modeling, including algorithm and software implementation of models were used. The analysis of the results of the previously developed methods and models application in the practice of planning the freight motor transport enterprises operation is carried out. It is revealed that the previously developed mathematical models are not implemented as there are significant discrepancy between the planned values and the results of motor transport enterprises work.
