Methodology for Determining the Optimal Location of Transport Logistics Centres

Abstract

The Transport Logistics Centre is a key element of the infrastructure of the transit logistics corridor. Their quantity and efficient functioning largely determine the level of competitiveness of the transit corridor.The paper discusses the key areas of operation of the Transport Logistics Center (TLC), including its modern forms of organisation, classification criteria, and the tasks it aims to address. A multi-criteria expert approach for determining the location of the Transport Logistics Center (TLC) is proposed, based on a system of qualitative and quantitative evaluation indicators and the features of fuzzy set theory. The paper outlines the procedures for determining the agreed-upon activities of experts, as well as the algorithm for analysing and ranking alternative outcomes.
