Abstract

In the article, there is presented the description of the algorithm of the operating process of the simulation model characteristics’ determination realized in the transport system. The simulation model of the means of transport’s operating process has been developed based on the that process’s mathematical model (semi-Markov model). Due of the assumed principles, the constructed model can be applied for the purposes of assessment and control of the operating process because of criterion of different types. Analysis of performance’s assessment of the operating means of transport is one of the ways of the possibilities of correct realization of the assigned transportation tasks in the transport systems. The simulation model of the operating process presented in the work, makes it possible to assess performance of the transport system’s operation from the point of view of the selected assessment criteria: availability of the means of transport and the unit income generated in the process’s modelling conditions. Based on the results of the tests conducted in the real system of the means of transport operating system, the model’s input data have been developed and simulation experiments have been conducted. As an effect, there have been determined the exemplary values of the analyzed characteristics of the transport system’s operation performance analyses.
