MODEL OF OPTIMIZATION OF THE PARAMETERS OF THE DELIVERY PROCESS IN INTERNATIONAL TRAFFIC

Abstract

The efficiency of border crossing services depends on a number of parameters, including the scope of control activities, the number of vehicles to be serviced and the human resources involved. The paper presents the mathematical model allowing the optimization of service parameters at the border crossing point. The queuing theory was implemented due to unbalanced nature of processes. Scientific interest of the model relates to the optimization of the parameters in international goods delivery under the conditions of random nature of vehicles arrival, and with the uneven intensity of servicing vehicles by state administrative services at the crossing border. The model takes into account the trade-off between the number of border staff and vehicle handling time. As a result of the application of the model, the handling process at the border crossing can be optimized, which will lead to a reduction of delivery costs in international traffic.
