Improvement of transportation process management effectiveness: Assessment and analysis of network topologies

Abstract

The article focuses on such a concept as “network topology”, which plays an important role in increasing the efficiency of managing the transportation process on the railway. The authors carry out detailed analysis of such network topologies as star, ring, bus, tree and others, and also explore their potential for improvement of the efficiency of railway transportation management. The work examines the advantages and disadvantages of each topology, and also evaluates their capabilities for optimizing the transportation process. Evaluation and comparative analysis of varieties of different network topologies is a relevant and interesting area of research. The results of the study confirm that the choice of a specific network topology can significantly affect the efficiency of transportation process management. Some network topologies can significantly reduce shipping costs and improve the overall delivery record, while other topologies can have the opposite effect.
