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 2)
Journal Title: Archives of Transport - Year 2011, Vol 23, Issue 3
Abstract
The test calculations were carried out according to the profit optimisation algorithm of inland waterway transport means operation considering a division of the waterway into sectors detailed described in the first part of this work. The push barge train consists of Bizon push boat and two OBP-500W barges were used to the calculations. Before a practical application for specified economical analysis it is required to collect a huge number of data to obtain an appropriate result. The main input data consists of (i) structure of the costs and their variation in relation to engine speed, and (ii) propulsionresistance characteristics for wide spectrum of train’ draughts and waterway depths. The results of optimisation calculations confirmed correctness and usefulness of the developed algorithm.
