Organization of work of transportation means in combined transport

The paper deals with an analysis of selected scheduling methods in a view of their use in planning the work of transportation means. The implementation plans for specific transport processes, for which duration of the project procedure is aimed at creating the optimal is the criterion. The authors will attempt to develop a coherent procedure for the combined transport, i.e. transport processes carried out by means of transportation means in more than one mode of transport. It may be also applied for the use of a number transportation means from the same transport branch, when there is a necessity to perform the handling works. Optimization of the execution time for the transport project, that is a modified version of classical transportation problem and scheduling method were applied for creating the method. The procedure can also be used to capture solutions resulting in an excessive use of transportation means, e.g. in case, when too many sets of transport are used. The method is a very useful tool for creating the scheduling of transportation means work. it lets on to fitting an appropriate response to the existing situation resulting from potential delays. It provides valuable information in terms of dispatchers, other managers handling with loads, as well as those involved in the determination of parameters related to contracts for transport projects
