Series: Marine Engineering and Technologies %D 2010 %I Astrakhan State Technical University %X The methods of simulation of transport systems for the identification of key indicators to ensure the quality of cargo traffic are considered. The pro-posed mathematical model allows getting different transportation processes real-ized. Their analysis at the exit of the program makes it possible to determine the simulated system rates. Full-scale tests have confirmed the adequacy of the model. Further research will enhance the object database, specify the parameters and develop a system for management system of freight transport processes. %K river quays %K mathematical modeling %K traffic. %U http://astu.org/content/userimages/file/sea_1_2010/08.pdf
