Modelling the delivery of special cargo categories as a mandatory component of an intelligent transport system

The intelligentisation of the global economy continues to grow, and this process is only going to deepen and expand in the future. Modelling of the delivery process is becoming one of the priority components of intelligentisation in transport. The methodological basis of the study is the provisions of the theories of transport processes and systems, logistics, management and the concept of sustainable development. Mathematical modelling methods were applied relevant models with discrete and continuous variables and nonlinear functions were designed. The study proposes a mathematical toolkit for modelling the delivery of special categories of cargo, which allows the logistics operator to optimise the delivery process using the principles of transport intelligence. The proposed toolkit is implemented as a result of forming a scheme for modelling the delivery of special cargo categories in the air-road connection and justifying its components, clarifying the subtask of delivering a consignment of special cargo by road, as well as creating mathematical equations for the number of samples of perishable goods by destination, their weight, volume, number of packages by types and destinations, and determining the urgency of shipments with the relevant characteristics. The mathematical toolkit meets the modern requirements and global economy trends, is scientifically substantiated and appropriately tested.
