Making Optimal Intelligent Solutions with Risks in Transportations Networks for Haulage of Agricultural Products

The paper proposes a method for making optimal decisions with risks in the very important task of transporting agricultural products on a network of arbitrary configuration. The method takes into account both the specific network properties and the probability of adverse events and the risks to the individual sections of the network in the implementation of these services. The proposed method minimizes not only the total cost of transporting agricultural produce but also the insurance costs to cover the risks. A complete numerical modeling of decision-making and transportation of agro-products on a network of arbitrary configuration is implemented, whereby both the cost of transport and the coverage of emerging risks are minimized by the proposed method.The possibilities for practical application of the proposed method for transportation of agro-production as well as for solving other applied problems are pointed out.
