In this study, I develop and estimate a model of spatial competition between grain elevators. Grain elevators compete over space for products, which they in turn supply to the market and form the demand for transportation. I model these supply and corresponding transportation demands as as a function of prices, transportation rates and a variety of control variables. These control variables cap...

Abstract—Presented article outlines a rationale, why it is necessary to develop competence about infrastructure risk in water transport. Climate changes are evident and require special attention and global monitoring. Current risk assessment methods for Inland waterway transport just consider some dramatic events. We present a new method for the assessment of risk and vulnerability of inland wa...

The article presents the results of a study on prospects for formation single infrastructure complex inland waterway transport. purpose is to identify prerequisites development container transportation by waterways Russia and substantiate characteristics framework objectives were analysis provisions draft Transport Strategy until 2035, foreign experience in problems functioning water transport ...

In the second half of XX century, Russian river transport was actively developing, and by 1990 volume cargo transportation reached 580 million tons. Now in 20s XXI traffic has decreased almost fivefold. There been a redistribution between modes transport: shares rail have decreased, road pipeline increased. From point view public interests, existing distribution is not rational. The production ...

This paper proposed a scheme design for Sydney’s frontport check-in system, which completes and baggage drop-off at Circular Quay, transports the to Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport by waterway, provided strengths, weaknesses, opportunities threats (SWOT) analysis of system. Using process method quality management, was divided into three sub-processes: consignment, packing transportation, airport...

Ships, which are the essential elements of maritime transportation, have an indispensable role in world freight and passenger transportation. Besides sea routes, played by ships inland water transport is also very important. In addition to these important economic effects, a major pollutant source. These emissions negative effects on human health, cities, environment, as well causing atmospheri...

The necessity of making standard decisions in the organization transport processes and systems is substantiated. use them allows you to reduce time for their development avoid mistakes during implementation operational activities shipping companies. In addition, it necessary monitor progress task, since there a certain period which changes production conditions can occur. Situations, dynamism s...
