Abstract

The productivity of technological processes in agriculture is determined by the set of transport and technological means used. The article describes the models for the unification of shift performance, taking into account a wide range of agricultural cargoes and a large number of works on their movement in the process of cultivation and harvesting of agricultural crops. A step-by-step modeling of scenarios for the use of transport and technological means was carried out on the basis of the optimality criterion and forecasting the period of agricultural work. They confirmed that the objective function is of theoretical and practical interest, as it helps to determine the optimal values of the power of technical means, depending on the combination of production conditions. The numerical value of power obtained by calculation can serve as a guide for manufacturers of agricultural machinery in the development of promising vehicles for a specific consumer, depending on the availability of resources and production and economic conditions.
