Applying the method of the exhaustive search, the problem of the optimal dislocation is solved by the exhaustive search and assessment of all possible variants of multimodal terminals dislocation. Method of “weight center” provides the determination of one terminal dislocation, taking into account only the demand for the products, without taking into consideration the volume of goods delivery by the supplies and their location. Cluster analysis – is a variant of the multidimensional analysis, one of the directions of its usage is the economic substantiation of the conditions of the transport-logistics cluster formation in the region. Multimodal terminal can be located on its base. Heuristic methods, based on human experience and intuition, are based on Pareto principle, i.e., on the advanced denial from a great number of the obviously inadmissible variants. For the analyzed methods their advantages and disadvantages, which should be taken into consideration in the process of the selection of multimodal terminals dislocation are presented. </em></p>}, number={1}, journal={Scientific Works of Vinnytsia National Technical University}, author={Shyriaeva, Svitlana and Isaenko, Volodymyr and Isaenko, Galyna}, year={2021}, month={Dec.} }
