Justification of required number of vehicles when combined cabbage cleaning

During combine harvesting of cabbage, products are transported from the field to the vegetable store mainly in the body of the vehicle in bulk or in containers. In the first case in the place where vegetable vehicles are unloaded manually, and in the second case - using a forklift. At the same time, vehicles are significantly idle while unloading vegetables, especially in the first case. In this regard, in order to assess the quality of service of vehicles, the process of unloading them is modeled using the queuing theory. The essence of the occurring phenomena is described and the indicators of the quality of functioning of the vehicle maintenance system in the vegetable storehouse during the delivery of products in bulk and in containers are calculated, and recommendations on its rational organization are formulated. Taking into account the rational organization of the vehicle servicing system on unloading, their required quantity in the considered cases is justified.
