Modeling of processing capacity of terminal and logistics facilities of the Nizhneleninskoye (RF) –Tongjiang (PRC) railway border crossing

Abstract

The workload of terminal and warehouse facilities of the transport and logistics center «Nizhneleninskoye» under construction, accompanying the railway bridge crossing Nizhneleninskoye (RF) - Tongjiang (PRC), is investigated. The transport and terminal logistics infrastructure of the Nizhneleninskoye - Tongjiang border crossing is considered. The paper uses theoretical research methods, including modeling, visualization and comparison. Crossborder infrastructure projects, including railway and automobile bridge crossings, are considered, indicating the existing and prospective capacity. The technical and operational characteristics of the transport and terminal logistics infrastructure of the Nizhneleninskoye - Tongjiang railway border crossing are given. The technical and technological parameters of the warehouse complex of the transport and logistics center Nizhneleninskoe are described. The results of two modeling scenarios are presented - at the first stage of operation of the transport and logistics center «Nizhneleninskoe» and at the second stage of operation with infrastructure development for prospective cargo handling. With the increase in the incoming cargo flow by 2.5 times at the second stage of operation of the warehouse complex, during the simulation, the load of the storage area of the warehouse complex increased by 40%, the load of lifting and transport equipment increased, which affected the reduction in the number of handled and shipped loaded vehicles. In order to speed up intra-warehouse operations, it is proposed to develop options for moving lifting and transport equipment, designate «hot» and «cold» zones of the warehouse, determine the required staff numbers with distribution by working positions, draw up technological maps and daily work schedules of the warehouse.
