Abstract

Optimizing the selection of transport technology for transport tasks is of particular importance while the improper technology can lead to significant reduction in safety of transported cargoes or in extreme cases to loss of cargo and reduces transport efficiency. This issue is particularly important for perishable products and cargoes. Up until now, there have not been developed any optimization tasks of the selection of multimodal transport technologies for perishable products that would adequately address the transportability of cargo. This paper presents the optimization task for the selection of multimodal transport technologies for perishable products on the example of non-climacteric fruits and vegetables carried in gas, light and liquid impermeable packaging. The task takes into account the criterion of maximizing cargo safety and the criterion of minimizing transport costs. The solution of the exemplary problem of technology selection o with the proposed optimization task is presented.
