The efficiency of modern logistics is largely determined by the resilience of all components and links within the supply chain. Logistic centers play a critical role in ensuring this stability. The current study presents an approach to optimizing the service area of a logistics center for both urban and suburban regions. Key decisions for suppliers include selecting the mode of delivery – either direct or via a logistics center – and determining their optimal location. Based on expert surveys, delivery cost was identified as the primary decision-making criterion. A mathematical model was developed, incorporating such factors as the size of the service area, delivery density, cargo volume, vehicle capacity, and technical speed. Statistical analysis revealed strong nonlinear correlations between the parameters (r > 0.85). Newton’s method was employed for optimization. The analysis showed that the most significant factors affecting delivery cost are the service area, cargo volume, and vehicle capacity, while technical speed and delivery point density have less influence. The principal advantage of the proposed approach lies in the development of a simple and intui

The article presents the methodology of the logistic system simulation into the Petri Nets environment on the example of agro-products delivery from Ukraine to the Netherlands, as well as a set of case-studies that can be used as didactic means for course “The modeling of transport processes” to teach the future transport industry specialists. The content, features and capabilities of the Petri Nets in the logistics systems simulation have been analyzed. A structural logistic system model of agro-products delivery, which takes into account the operation sequence, the combination peculiarities and the use resources in each subsystem, has been constructed into the Petri Nets. A time criterion has been proposed to determine the effective option for agro-products delivery. According to the results of the logistics system simulation into the Petri Nets environment, a statistical analysis of the parameters has been carried out. It has been made a choice of a suitable option of the delivery scheme allowing for the time spent and the magnitude of the possible costs associated with the use of certain transport modes. It has been made conclusion about feasibility of creating the case-study set, which is based on real facts and being solved into the Petri Nets environment, in order to organize the future transport industry specialists’ study and research activities.
