FORMING EMISSION-EXCESSIVE DELIVERY SYSTEMS

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop a concept for taking emissions into account when forming and optimizing cargo delivery systems. The main idea is that when choosing a delivery system option, it is proposed to consider an additional criterion - the "total emissions" indicator, which would allow evaluating alternative delivery system options that correspond to certain export (import) deliveries that involve different combinations of transport modes. Each level of the delivery system and each of its components affects the amount of emissions. That is, we are talking about an assessment of transportation systems that ensure the delivery of goods within a certain period of time and are a relatively constant structure. A concept for taking emissions into account when forming and optimizing cargo delivery systems has been developed. According to this concept, varying transportation technology, geography of transfer points (ports), composition of transport and transshipment vehicles will allow varying the total amount of emissions when transporting a certain batch of cargo during a certain period. This will allow to form decisions on delivery in the conditions of achieving a balance of "costs - emissions", which corresponds to modern ideologies of green logistics and sustainable development. The proposed concept should be further applied in mathematical modelling of the processes of formation and optimization of cargo delivery systems, forming an appropriate theoretical basis. Based on forecasts of supply volumes for a given transportation system, estimates can be made for a certain period, which will allow to see the prospects of using a specific transportation option from the point of view of environmental impact and to analyse options for its minimization
