Work deals with the transportation and manipulation of sugar beet from storages to sugar refineries. The aim is evaluation of sugar beet transport organization and further transport suggestion and way of its organization in order to minimize transported material costs per unit. The aim attainment is reached by setting up mathematical model necessary for creating the lines for sugar beet transport and their comparison in term of unit costs is made. Result of this work is model of transportation process according to individual variants and object is vehicles efficiency determination, unit costs per ton of transported sugar beet, number of vehicles, number of cleaning loaders providing the adjustment of sugar beet transportation to sugar refinery absorptive capacity and the traffic situation in sub-region of the relevant sugar refinery.
