Directions of seaport technological rules development

Abstract

The article highlights the design process aimed to develop a non-existing object, which should correspond to all the requirements. As far as the physical creation of an object is started only after finishing the design process, the whole procedure includes discussing different models and information. The result of sea terminals design is the documentation which consists of not only the necessary for construction and exploitation information, but also almost all physical, operational, exploitation and financial parameters of the object. The elements of behavior research, i.e. exploration of the output parameters reaction to the change of input ones and the data that were calculated on the previous steps of the design process, is a necessary part of each next step. The variation of requirements to the precision, sustainability and specification of data on different steps of design require to use different in complexity and precision models to analyze them. The capitalization of infrastructural objects of sea transport, the acceptance of liquidity and the scale of social-economic impact on the society define the special requirements to this branch of activity, which are applied in strict regulation and formulation of rules of all design processes. It has been stated that the active rules define the methods of sea terminals design, but this definition has been unchanged for a long time. The great evolution of nature, structure and volumes of data bring a conflict with the documental requirements to the calculations. There are developed the general rules of mathematical modelling used as an instrument of design on different steps of sea terminals design. There is carried out a brief content analysis of the typical steps of a design process, which allows to correspond the consequence of technological design stages with using the statistical modelling and queueing theory design methods. It also includes the description of a new concept of simulation modelling, which allows to connect gnoseological advantages of this approach with universality of traditional methods. Saving the universality and objective process of consequent adequacy provement of all the described models allow to put a question of utilization of this instrument into the general rules and recommendations of sea terminal design.
