Some Methods of Increasing the Efficiency of River Transport System

The paper discusses two new methods to increase the efficiency of river transport system. The former method is based on treating the river system as a multiphase queuing system. The basic principles of arrangement and optimization parameters are deter-mined. Mathematical tools for optimization were produced, the solution converting the stochastic input flow into the systematic output one was derived. The latter method includes at its core the need to make the stowage of goods optimized by constructing the corresponding mathematical and information tools. Experimental results of the software performance were on one of the vessels under operation.
