Organization of transportation of goods and passengers

Transportation of goods by motor transport enterprises is carried out in accordance with the national economic plan under agreements between cargo owners and the motor transport enterprise.

In this case, the motor transport enterprise is entrusted with ensuring the supply of technically sound vehicles corresponding to the type of goods being transported, in quantities and within the time limits stipulated by the contract or preliminary application.

By the nature of transportation, motor transport enterprises can be freight, passenger and mixed, and by affiliation and purpose - general use, serving clientele regardless of departmental affiliation, and departmental, performing transportation only for the organizations of which these enterprises are a part.

The main tasks of a motor transport enterprise are: organization and execution of transportation in accordance with the plan; storage, maintenance and repair of rolling stock; selection, placement and advanced training of personnel, labor organization; planning and accounting of production and financial activities; logistics; maintenance and repair of buildings, structures and equipment.

To perform these tasks, motor transport enterprises have operational, technical and management services.

Key performance indicators of rolling stock. The operation of vehicles is characterized by the following main technical and economic indicators (measurements): coefficient of technical readiness of the fleet, coefficient of output per line (utilization of the fleet), coefficient of working time utilization, speed of movement, utilization coefficient of mileage and load capacity.

When a vehicle is operating on a line, mileage is distinguished: total, loaded, empty and zero.

Total mileage is the distance in kilometers traveled by a vehicle during a working day.

A run with cargo (passengers) is a productive run.

Empty mileage is the mileage of a vehicle without cargo (passengers) between unloading and loading points (drop-off and pick-up).

Zero mileage is the mileage of the vehicle from the depot to the loading (pick-up) point and from the last unloading (drop-off) point to the depot, as well as trips to refuel.

Features of transportation of various cargoes. Loading and unloading operations consist of basic and additional operations. The main operations include: moving cargo from its storage location, loading onto rolling stock, unloading, moving cargo to the place of its delivery and stacking. Additional operations include packaging and labeling, weighing or measuring cargo, lashing and covering cargo, processing documents for acceptance and delivery of cargo.

In order to reduce vehicle downtime during loading and unloading, various devices and mechanisms, stationary (conveyors, bins, cranes, hoists) or mobile, are used. Mobile vehicles include various self-propelled loaders and cranes installed directly on vehicles.

Transportation of agricultural goods can be carried out on conventional trucks, as well as on specialized rolling stock. For example, when transporting grain, grain-carrying road trains are effectively used, consisting of a tractor-trailer and a semi-trailer-dump truck, which has a roof to protect it from precipitation. To transport mixed feed, feed trucks are used, equipped with a special body based on a dump truck. Transportation of vegetables, hay, straw, cotton and other lightweight agricultural cargo is carried out on dump trucks with an increased body height.

In order to carry out the transportation of goods in the shortest possible time, loading and unloading operations are mechanized by using special loaders (beet loaders, grain loaders, conveyors, elevators, mechanical shovels, car dumpers, etc.).

Transportation of construction goods includes transportation of soil, quarry materials, construction trusses and panels, bricks, mortars, etc. To transport the above goods, as a rule, specialized rolling stock is used. Dump trucks transport sand, crushed stone, gravel, rubble stone, asphalt, mortars, and soil from pits. On construction sites and in quarries, when a truck crew constantly works with the same set of loading equipment, the integrated team method gives good results. For example, when transporting from a pit, a complex team of several drivers and excavator operators is created, while the driver-foreman receives an order indicating the volume and duration of work, as well as the amount of salary for the drivers. When a work order is completed, wages are distributed among the brigade drivers in accordance with the actual number of trips with cargo. This method creates personal interest in each team member and helps increase productivity.

Transportation of cement is carried out by cement trucks, on which cement is unloaded using compressed air supplied from a compressor installed on the vehicle. Cement supply range up to 50 m via hose, to a height of up to 25 m.

Construction panels and trusses are transported on special panel carriers and farm trucks towed by tractors. A farm transport train consists of a tractor vehicle and a dismantling semi-trailer. When transporting mortars and asphalt, dump trucks are used, the bodies of which are insulated with mats or heated with exhaust gases in winter. In addition, special mortar trucks are used.

Transportation of food and industrial goods in many cases requires specially equipped rolling stock.

To transport bakery products, special vans and van trailers are used. The van is equipped with special guides for installing trays with bread and forced ventilation. Transportation of perishable products in a chilled or frozen state is carried out in an isothermal body. The outer skin of the body is made of sheet steel, the inner skin is galvanized, the space between them is filled with foam plastic or mipore. Meat carcasses are hung in the truck on special hooks.

Milk is transported in milk tankers. To fill the sections of the tank with milk, a vacuum is created in them from the running engine of the tractor, and the milk is drained by gravity.

Flour is transported in bags on trucks, the bodies of which are equipped with lids, and in special tanks on semi-trailers. The tank is loaded with flour through hatches and unloaded using air pressure of up to 0.2 MPa (2 kgf/cm2) created by the compressor of the tractor vehicle.

Finished clothes are transported in vans equipped with hangers.

Rice. 135. Tankers for transporting milk (a) and flour (b).

Centralized transportation of goods is currently widespread both within a populated area (city) and between cities. They are characterized by the fact that a motor transport company, in addition to representing vehicles, also assumes forwarding functions, relieving shippers and consignees from these responsibilities.

During centralized transportation, the recipient of the cargo does not participate in the transport process and is responsible only for unloading work. Receipt of the cargo at the loading point, its registration and forwarding is carried out by the transport organization, and the role of the forwarder is usually performed by the driver.

Centralized transportation of goods is a progressive form of organizing road transport, which has a number of significant advantages. With centralized transportation, downtime of rolling stock during loading and unloading is reduced, since conditions are created for the mechanization of these works, and downtime while waiting for cargo to be received is reduced. With centralized transportation, a large number of loaders, forwarders and agents are released, which contributes to more efficient use of specialized rolling stock, better routing of transportation, increases the productivity of vehicles and the culture of customer service.

Transportation of passengers. Passengers are transported by buses and taxi cars.

Bus transportation can be urban, suburban, intercity and tourist excursion. Urban, suburban and intercity transportation is carried out by public bus transport according to a schedule.

Taxi transportation is distinguished into two types - according to individual routes assigned by passengers, and route transportation, which carries out transportation according to established routes and schedules. For individual transportation, passenger cars are used, and for route transportation, especially small capacity buses are used.

Business trips in taxi cars by employees of enterprises and institutions are paid for with travel coupons of various denominations according to the kilometer traveled, which are purchased at motor transport enterprises with advance payment by bank transfer at the expense and within the limits established by higher organizations. The customer puts his stamp and the name of the person to whom the coupon was issued on the back of each coupon. At the end of the trip, coupons are given to the driver for the total distance corresponding to the taxi's indication. If there are a shortage of coupons, additional payment is made in cash.
