FREIGHT TRANSPORTATION: CALCULATION OF POWER INTENSITY OF TRANSPORT OPERATION
Abstract
In addressing the issue of energy saving in transport there is a dilemma: either to increase speed of motion (delivery), and to reduce time when the goods are in the process of product distribution, or to reduce power intensity of transport services. The article analyzes the use of a measuring instrument of transport work - «tran».
Calculations are provided, proving its inadequacy to evaluate energy consumption, especially in the presence of logistics systems and the established order of supply chains service. In the context of logistics neither tonne-kilometres, nor «tran» are critical, as in the background of maximum possible reduction of total cost of product distribution, rather synchronization of operations to ensure continuity and effective technical support (including power intensity) of the transport process becomes determining.
