ANALYSIS OF THE MAIN PROBLEMS AND MALFUNCTIONS OF TRUCKS AND WAYS OF IMPROVING THE EFFICIENCY OF GRAIN TRANSPORTATION

Abstract

The article indicates the main problems associated with technical and technological losses during the harvesting of grain products, namely, the problematic issues of the transport process and the technological and structural malfunctions that lead to this are considered, directing the harvesting process to significant costs of time, labor, and at the same time and on crop losses. When searching for possible options for optimizing the collection and transportation process and possible options for avoiding overloading of trucks, the occurrence of vehicle breakdowns and cargo losses, a comprehensive solution is needed. An important aspect of the transport process should be the so-called “human factor”, that is, proper operation, qualification of drivers and compliance with the requirements of regulatory work permits. Therefore, increasing the efficiency of the transport process can be achieved by finding ways to avoid downtime of trucks when loading grain, weighing and drawing up the necessary documentation; overloading, which will reduce a number of possible breakdowns; insufficient qualification and emergencies on the road. The conducted analysis of the main problems and ways to increase the performance of trucks using the proposed technologies and systems shows that during their use in transport processes during the collection of grain products, positive results will be obtained, high productivity and reliability of work, and at the same time an increase in profit due to the avoidance of emergency stops, the reduction of emergencies and the prevention of fines due to the discrepancy of dimensions and weight control.
