Intensification of the use of transport fleets of grain production complex

Abstract

Possibilities of intensification of the use of transport parks of grain products complex by increasing their technological adaptability have been studied. As a factor, in relation to which the level of technical adaptivity of trucks was considered, a variable factor of volumetric capacity of agricultural cargo was chosen. Transportation process of grain subcomplex has its own specifics and requires optimal formation and rational use of vehicles. Given short periods, seasonality and high volume of transported cargo, as well as the fact that agriculture is mainly engaged in small and medium-sized farms that can not afford to allocate a separate rolling stock of cars only for transportation of grain crops it makes sense to explore ways of increasing technological adaptability of existing cargo vehicles in the economy to variable factors of cargo volume weight. One of the most effective and economical ways of influencing the adaptation coefficient of the vehicle to the variable volume weight factor of the cargo can be considered as changing the height of the sides of the cargo body.
