The purpose of this article is to study the container terminal as a complex technical system. The object of study is a container terminal. The subject of the study is a functional study of the container terminal at the junction of road and rail transport. The research methodology is based on the Markov random processes scheme. An example of a method for determining the number of reach players is given.

The main reasons of the countries of the former Soviet Union lagging behind economically developed countries in the field of delivery of packaged goods is the lack of feasibility studies and specific organizational measures for the introduction of packaged transportation. Both of these circumstances acquire a special meaning and significance in the conditions of developing a market economy in the country. The purpose of the article is to show that the delivery of packaged goods is influenced by various factors, such as the size of vehicles, type of transport containers, methods of stacking cargo units on transport containers, etc., which are described in the article. The study applies economic criteria and principles of transport logistics and defines the areas of application of transport packaging for the delivery of packaged goods on the basis of specific technical and economic indicators. As a result of the study, the fields of application of transport packaging are determined to depend on the given parameters of packaging cargo. The necessity of a full feasibility study of packaged transportation is shown, as well as the costs of using transport packaging, as well as the cost of forming a transport package should be taken into account.

The research is aimed at finding rational values of container terminal parameters. Lifting and transport machines are compared with each other from the position of storage area capacity. The results allow estimating the terminal throughput capacity depending on the technical equipment of the site and the storage period of containers. The aim of the research is to improve the search for rational values of the container terminal parameters. Due to the given research mathematical models of the interrelation of the fundamental values of parameter sites of the basic storage of the container terminal equipped with reach stacker offered by Kalmar companies. Dependencies of a platform capacity on length of a storage site are resulted. Also in research results of processing ability of the container terminal in a year are resulted.

Recent developments in the 3D printing of metals are attracting many researchers and engineers. Tailoring a porous structure using triply periodic minimum surfaces is becoming an excellent approach for cooling electronic equipment. The availability of metallic 3D printing encourages researchers to study cooling systems using porous media. In the present article, we designed a porous structure using a gyroid model produced using 3D printing. Porous aluminum has a 0.7, 0.8, and 0.9 porosity, respectively. The porous medium is tested experimentally using distilled fluid as the cooling liquid, while the structure is subject to bottom heating with a heat flux of 30,000 W/m². A different inlet velocity from 0.05 m/s to 0.25 m/s is applied. On the numerical side, the porous medium is modeled as a porous structure, and only the Navier–Stokes equations and the energy equation were solved using the finite element technique. In addition, an excellent agreement between the experimental measurement and numerical calculation, an optimum porosity of 0.8 was obtained. The performance evaluation criterion led us to believe that pressure drop plays a significant role in heat enhancement for this type of gyroid structure. As the porosity increases, the boundary layer becomes more noticeable.

Ensuring uniform supply of wagons for loading and unloading of goods is one of the main tasks of the transport process. Existing methods for solving the issues of ensuring the rhythmicity of the supply of wagons for loading grain are not often allowed to identify the causes of the technological shortage of wagons. In this regard, within the framework of this work, the aim of the study is to increase the efficiency of the organization of providing grain storage with wagons using models.
