Optimisation Algorithm for the Profit from Operation of a Barge Train versus Settings of the Main Engine During Inland Navigation in Varying Water Resistance Conditions (Part 1)
Journal Title: Archives of Transport - Year 2011, Vol 23, Issue 3
Abstract
The presented paper refers to economical aspects of inland waterway transport means operation. Specifications of profit and cost areas were a basis of an economic estimation of the transport means operation. Within this framework a decision should be taken concerning the methods and scope of an economical analysis of transport means. The profit optimisation algorithm of inland waterway transport means operation was elaborated considering a division of the waterway into sectors (representing different characteristics specified by different, and temporary changing, navigation parameters). The main engine speed was established as a decision variable.
