The study on selecting the parameters of the transport packs with fruit products shipping

Uzbekistan has high agricultural resource potential. The produced amounts of fruit and vegetable products allow to provide not only internal requirements, but also to deliver products on the Russian markets. The operating current system of the organization of transportation in Uzbekistan is often integrated with manual work that, in turn, leads to increase in idle times of refrigerated railcars. One of the main directions of increasing the efficiency of fruit and vegetable products' shipping is delivery by its integrated unit loads. However, the complexity of this task consists in need of consideration of a set of possible options for stacking the unit loads on flat pallets. All this causes practical and theoretical relevance of study on selection process of rational parameters of transport packets. Comparison of various methods of stacking the unit loads on standard pallets is presented. The algorithm of determination of rational placement variant of cargo units in refrigerated railcars with condition for ensuring its rational loading is developed. Application of the proposed algorithm allows to analyze effectively various options of unit loads' placement in refrigerated railcars depending on a set of the parameters influenced on conditions of transportation of goods. Implementation of results of the research will allow to increase the mass of transfer quantities of fruit and vegetable products and also to use load-carrying capacity of refrigerated railcars more effectively.
