Building of the knowledge base for the elaboration of processes of food raw materials and food product transportation by means of tractors and road vehicles

Abstract

Food raw materials and food products represent one of the most important and at the same time challenging cargoes, and this specifies the variety of technological processes and technical facilities used in transportation. In Russia and abroad, intense research and development are taking place, that are aimed at improvement of technological processes and technical facilities for food raw material and/or food products transportation by means of tractor, road, rail and water transport. Of special importance are tractor and road transports, which require the development of patentable technological and technical solutions in order to increase their competitiveness. This resulted in the knowledge base building for the elaboration of processes of tractor and road transportation of food raw materials and food products on the basis of scientific and technical and patent search. Based on the analysis and knowledge building, the areas of improvement of food raw materials and food product transportation processes by means of tractor and road transport were identified.
