MODEL OF RIVER COORDINATION MULTIMODAL LOGISTICS CENTER
MODEL OF RIVER COORDINATION MULTIMODAL LOGISTICS CENTER

Summary/Abstract: The advantages of inland water transport in terms of environmental impact, transport efficiency make it very attractive for the main segments of multimodal/intermodal transport, but at the same time significant efforts are needed to ensure its good interaction with other modes of transport for the remaining modal shares of the transports. The work proposes a concept for the construction of Coordination Logistics Centers on the basis of river ports, which can provide good solutions for a more complete use of the capacity of inland water transport, ensuring interaction with rail and road transport. The centers need the development of specific models for the organization of work, including in terms of forecasting hydrological conditions that directly affect navigation conditions and cargo turnover in river ports. The proposed ARIMA method is suitable for forecasting hydrological conditions. On the basis of statistical data, a forecast of these conditions was made using the method for a specific port on the Danube River in Bulgaria.
