ECOLOGICAL OPTIMIZATION OF CARGO TRANSPORTATION OF AN ENTERPRISE USING INFORMATION SYSTEMS

Abstract

Abstract. The aim of the article is to systematize the existing ways to decrease the environmental load at the enterprise, in the country and in the world, to identify ways of greening the enterprise by using transportation means to transport goods from enterprises to customers using information systems and technologies. In the process of preparing the article we used the method of theoretical generalization (to determine the theoretical and logical substantiation of the method of transport at the enterprise), the method of systematization (to build algorithms for determining the optimal route of transport to specialized centers), graphical method (to build a histogram of emission costs for different kinds of transport in the world), mathematical modeling (to determine the optimal route for the transportation of goods by the enterprise, which goes into solving the transport problem and the travelling salesman problem). The means by which the recovery of the ecological situation is stimulated are determined, namely, ecological supply chains are considered as competitive advantages of the enterprise, methods of solving the problem of routing in the enterprise, energy saving in transport, possibility of automobile sharing by different companies, expediency of introduction of innovative types of transport, supply optimization of products from the enterprise to consumers. The latter is considered more carefully using a mathematical apparatus, namely, by solving the transport problem using the method of the smallest element in the column and the method of potentials, and solving the travelling salesman problem using the branch and bound method. The scientific novelty of the work is the systematization of methods of greening the environment, identifying the capabilities of information systems used to achieve this goal, and applying the method of the smallest element in the column and the method of potentials to solve the transport problem, and the branch and bound method to solve the travelling salesman problem to achieve the ecological effect. The practical significance of the study is that the studied methods are used by processing enterprises to green their activities in transport operations.
