The Concept of a Logistics Centre Model as a Nodal Point of a Transport and Logistics Network
Journal Title: Archives of Transport - Year 2012, Vol 24, Issue 2
Abstract
The paper presents a concept of a logistics centre model. The model is based on defined output/input flows of goods. Therefore it is possible to determine and estimate the load of elements of the centre infrastructure being at the disposal of individual service providers operating within the centre. Input and output flows are defined on the basis of the balance of flows directed to the centre from the whole logistics and transport network and are considered split into: product groups, types of transport, various transport forms of cargo. The seasonal nature of these flows has been taken into consideration. The calculations of infrastructure load assume that every service provider operating within the centre can also use elements of infrastructure owned by other centre users. The proposed model can serve various purposes. An emphasis is put herein on the possibility of estimating the degree of the transport and logistics infrastructure load of the centre on the basis of historical data as well as on the basis of forecasts. As a result, the needs related to the access to the infrastructure can be specified and used to determine and verify investment plans.
