Fuzzy modelling of the transportation logistics processes

The relevance of mechanisms and fuzzy modeling methods used in transport and logistics processes is justified. The logic of the transport and logistics chains study by their decomposition into separate economic entities with subsequent synthesis, with taking into account their conflicting interests, is presented. The task of managing transport and logistics processes is set within the framework of the conceptual positions of the fuzzy sets theory: the use of linguistic variables, the concept of a fuzzy set, fuzzy inference, implemented on the basis of fuzzy sets operations. In this study, the fuzzy modeling on the bottom-up conclusions from the premises to the conclusion was used. Various methods of implication and defuzzification have been analyzed. An iterative procedure for managing transport and logistics chains and their links has been proposed, which ensures the adaptation of the process to the specified performance indicators. A calculated example is given for a marshalling yard as a link in the transport and logistics chain.
