Development of the Optimum Technology for the Transportation of Grain Loads Taking Into Account the Existing Trends of the Industry

An algorithm and management procedure for the distribution of grain cargoes at port stations have been developed. A list of necessary conditions has been created under which the introduction of graded routes eliminates the problem of direct distribution of cargo by unloading points in the port infrastructure. The proposed technology for the distribution of bulk cargo allows to attract a larger number of participants in the transportation process and create conditions for the attraction of other accompanying cargo.The above problems of railway transport, a significant reduction in the volume of transportation against the background of the existence of a fairly wide network of railways form a trend for route shipments, the vast majority of which, in turn, go to the port.The introduction of staged loads as a compromise in the conditions of the trends acquired by the industry requires the creation of the necessary conditions along the entire route of the cargo.Market conditions as the main driver of the transportation process require a proactive response to variability. It is this approach with the use of transitional phases in the view of port stations that gives the technology such qualities that it becomes especially relevant when the operator of port stations becomes effective.Areas of concentration of freight work, potential infrastructure facilities and port stations, where the formation of groups of wagons for unloading at the ports will take place, were determined by systematizing the collected information and identifying patterns that can be introduced taking into account the existing system of restrictions.Looking directly at the composition of the transport sector for the above-mentioned period, it turns out that the share of cargo processed in Ukrainian ports is 159 million tons. For comparison, in the same period, rail transport was 314.3 million tons, road 222.6 million tons. The above problems of railway transport, a significant reduction in the volume of transportation against the background of the existence of a fairly wide network of railways form a trend for route shipments, the vast majority of which, in turn, go to the port. Analyzing the above in the existing conditions, it is the ports that should set the vector for both the formation of sending and step routes based on the principles of resource conservation.
