In this article the issues of determination of optimal parameters of transport and storage facilities are overviewed. It is stated that in some cases the incoming to the storage production volumes and the volumes of transportation vehicles are stochastic. That means that the problem of determination of facilities’ parameters by analysis is impossible without correctness’ losses. In similar cases it is proposed to use the so called “Monte-Carlo” method. In case of impossibility to describe analytically the internal processes, the range of the main phases of complex-system functioning modeling is given. To confirm the advisability of use statistical tests’ method for modeling of transport and storage facilities functioning, the results of coal mines loading facilities functioning researches.
Keywords: transport and storage facilities, optimal parameters, nondeterministic economic and mathematical model, “Monte-Carlo” method, modeling phases, coal mines loading facilities, process’ mathematical model, modeling algorithm
