Abstract

he article examines the process of designing and calculating main parameters of the terminal network from the standpoint of terminalistics — the logistics of the terminal networks and infrastructure — as a scientific and methodological directionA allocated from logistics.

In the course of the work, the characterization of various directions of terminal network design will be carried out from the standpoint of terminal studies as a new scientific and methodological direction. Main areas of design and operation of the terminal network, which are solved by terminalistics, are defined. Terminalistics is characterized as infrastructure logistics — logistics of terminal networks. It is noted that there is no integrated methodological direction, within the framework of which a comprehensive calculation of the parameters of the terminal network can be carried out (including the parallel selection of the number and location of logistics centers (LCs), the type of transport; determination of the economic effect when using direct and terminal transportation), therefore objective need to allocate an independent direction of logistics, namely infrastructure logistics emerged. Method of complex calculation of parameters of the terminal network is proposed, the distinguishing feature of which is the complexity of determining the spatial and quantitative parameters by the number and location of LCs in it and the choice of a rational type (combination of types) of transport. The groups of scientific and practical tasks that are solved by terminalistics are presented. Graphic representations of the method of parameter calculation and formation of the terminal network are given.
