Abstract

This paper highlights the feature of determining cargo capacity for vehicle fleet using system assessment during perishable agricultural product supplying. The proposed approach can increase the sustainability level of the supply chain function, especially during agricultural cargo transportation over long distances. The unique approach is based on the fact that current delivery options were grouped for considered goods categories using the main technological criteria. This, in turn, made it possible to distinguish the average cargo capacity parameter for truck fleet used in transportation. Such logistics solution allows carriers to find a rational value of average truck tonnages for a particular type of supply chain. Firstly, rationalizing such a technological parameter as average load capacity allows for reducing unjustified operating costs that arise during perishable agricultural product transportation. The study determined quantitative values of average carrying capacities for vehicle fleets for each supply chain. This aspect is planned to be used for designing models that simultaneously consider the interests of carriers and customers of perishable agricultural products.
