The article considers the actuality of crewless shipping. The development of technical means in the marine shipbuilding industry has been pointed out. The statistical data on accidents at sea are given; as a result of the data analysis, there have been identified the main causes of the accidents: non-compliance with generally accepted methods of controlling a vessel, ignoring the specific hydrometeorological parameters of the navigation and mooring areas, non-compliance with safety and technical operation rules, navigation errors, etc. The human factor has been stated to remain the main and most frequent cause of accidents at sea. The types of accidents at sea are considered in detail (damage to ship devices and mechanisms, ship's hull, loss of life, bulk, explosion, fire, loss of a towed object, winding on a screw, grounding, serious bodily harm, collision, loss of stability, buoyancy, collision with a submerged object). The advantages of using a crewless vessel are substantiated, as well as the prospects associated with the introduction of such vessels: reduction in accident rate due to the exclusion of the human factor, lower negative and harmful effects on the environment, increased reliability of transportation due to changes in the structure of vessels, increased economic efficiency due to the uselessness of crew support, etc. There has been given an example of creating a project for the e-Navigation test area executed by Kronstadt in 2016. The test water area includes all e-Navigation coverage areas, combines 13 ports, training centers, over 300 sea vessels, several ship traffic control systems into a single electronic space. Within the framework of the project, developers introduce and test new equipment, conduct training for the crews. The conclusions have been made about possibility for the Russian Federation of accelerating the introduction of new technologies in the global market of shipping companies, increasing competitiveness and reducing dependence on foreign technologies
The paper highlights the key factors for the development of the transport and logistics industry in the context of the digital transformation of society. The simulation model is shown as a digital twin of the transport and logistics system. A definition of a transport and logistics project is given, and its main (production / delivery of packages to a warehouse / terminal, loading and unloading operations with packages, storage of packages, transportation of packages) and additional (processing/reconstruction of packages; money movement) processes are separated. The technological process of planning and realizing the transport and logistics operations is considered in detail. There have been singled out the specific features of the transport and logistics process, including many stochastic factors, necessitating the use of simulation modeling methods. In terms of the theory of organizational systems, the structure of the management system for a transport and logistics project is proposed. The managed entities - the processes of the transport and logistics project - are described and structured in detail. The control actions, parameters of the external environment and the state of the transport and logistics process are highlighted. A model of decision-making by controlled subjects has been built. It is noted that the value of management efficiency is determined by the chosen strategy for the development of the transport and logistics process. A simulation model of a transport and logistics project for the delivery of equipment for a wind power plant is considered using the system analysis of processes. The description of the submodels of the simulation model is given in accordance with the developed generalized structure of the transport and logistics process management. The experiments have been carried out, the optimal production rates have been identified for a transport and logistics project of delivery of equipment for a wind power plant
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
