Container Transport System as a Means of Saving Resources

Abstract

Analysing the transportation of goods as one of the constituent elements of the transport system, it can be argued that container transport today occupies a leading position in the delivery of goods throughout the world. According to statistics, the total volume of container traffic in the first two months of 2018 was approximately 26 million TEU (twenty-foot equivalent unit is a conventional unit of measure for the capacity of freight vehicles, namely, a 20-foot container), which is 6.7% more than the same index last year. Positive growth rates of container traffic indicate the relevance and scale of this type of transport. Also, thanks to the rapid development of intermodal and multimodal transportation, the volumes of cargo delivery in containers are increasing. Resulting from this, the container transport system, the main components of which are containers and container terminals, can be considered and analyzed as a technology for the conservation of resources.

Elaboration of Scenarios for Sustainable Development of the Transport System of Ukraine

“…Проблеми та перспективи розвитку контейнерних перевезень як найекономічнішої та надійної технології доставки вантажів досліджують такі науковці як: Л. Соловйова, О. Стрелко, С. Ісаєнко, А. Церковна, В. Харламова, Д. Малащук, Н. Гринчак та ін. [8]- [11].…”

Defining patterns in the dynamic load and strength of the bearing structure of a covered freight car with a filler in the girder beam

“…7, we determined accelerations in the load-bearing structure of a covered freight car. The obtained accelerations were taken into consideration for verifying the model of the dynamic load on the load-bearing structure of a covered freight car (1) to (3). The calculation results are summarized in Table 2.…”

“…Ensuring the competitiveness of the railroad industry necessitates designing and implementing modern rolling stock structures. When constructing such rolling stock, it is important to take into consideration technical solutions that could contribute to the improvement of its technical and economic [1,2], operational [3,4], as well as environmental indicators [5,6].…”

Ways to Increase Railway Competitiveness

“…Railway transport is one of the most important branches of the economy of Ukraine [13][14][15]. It provides production and non-production needs of material production, non-production sphere, as well as the population in all types of transportation.…”
