Transport is one of the most important logistical subsystem. It occurs at every stage of the logistic chain. Efficiency of transport utilization is an important element determining the financial results of an enterprise. In addition to the use of transport systems, organizational and management issues also play an important role in this matter. Traditional approach sometimes seems to be insufficient, especially in the case of complicated transportation tasks. The solution in this case is the use of modeling and optimization of the transport system used by the company, that has been presented in the paper, on the basis of the selected example. Optimal use of transport provides tangible benefits and allows to achieve competitive advantage in the market.
The organization of public transport greatly contributes to the proper traffic management policy of vehicles. They are an active element cooperating with the infrastructure. However, the organization of transport is not an easy task. The constantly changing demand on lines characterized by various length and intensity of use makes it difficult to decide on the choice of vehicle. Vehicles with various technical and functional parameters along with a specific frequency of running create an offer for users which is not always adapted to their needs. All the changes affecting the functioning of the rolling stock are reflected in the costs of the communication company. Analysis of the company's operations allows to identify some areas that can be optimized. The savings concern lower fuel consumption by adjusting the capacity and type of vehicle used.
Oprogramowanie typu SIP (Systemy Informcji Przestrzennej) w logistyce wykorzystywane jest od niedawna. Początkowo wykorzystane w rozwiązaniach geodezyjnych, geograficznych, kartograficznych coraz częściej znajduje zastosowanie w różnych dziedzinach, w których kojarzymy lokalizację obiektu z atrybutami opisowymi i możliwościami analitycznymi, w tym również w logistyce. Zastosowanie aplikacji SIP do zarządzania flotą pojazdów w przedsiębiorstwie przynosi wymierne korzyści przyczyniając się do poprawy efektywności przedsiębiorstwa oraz podniesienia jakości usług transportowych. Dzięki możliwościom w obszarze analiz i modelowania przestrzennego w znacznym stopniu możemy wiele operacji decyzyjnych wykonywać automatycznie oszczędzając czas i eliminując błędy czynnika ludzkiego.
