• DRIVER HEALTH AND TRAFFIC SAFETY ON THE TOURIST ROUTES

    Trans Motauto World, Vol. 1 (2016), Issue 4, pg(s) 16-18

    Based on the results of studies carried out in the field conditions, there are given some recommendations for drivers of vehicles moving on tourist routes with mountain road conditions, which will reduce likelihood of traffic accidents for them.

    The paper also describes the results of studies carried out in accordance with the methodology of health check of drivers of vehicles moving on the tourist routes. As the evaluation parameters, there have been used several indexes as follows: the harmony of driver’s body structure and his/her physical development was evaluated by Quetelet-2index; death-birth and power indexes were used for evaluation of the power of the apparatus of external respiration and hand muscle strength, accordingly; the nature of nervous vegetal regulation was determined by means of systolic and diastolic pressure and chest compression frequency of hemodynamics indices; for evaluating the adaptation level by Kerdo index and Robinson index there was used the screening procedure.

    Reliability of driver depends not only on his/her qualification and experience, but the state of his/her health and ability to work are of high importance as well.

  • PROSPECTS FOR DEVELOPMENT OF REGIONAL TRANSPORT-TOURIST ROUTES ON THE BASE OF KOPITNARI AIRPORT

    Trans Motauto World, Vol. 1 (2016), Issue 1, pg(s) 50-52

    The King david the Builder Kutaisi (Kopitnari) International Airport is located in the Black Sea region of the South Caucasus. The Airport’s strategic geographic position and further improvement of the infrastructure allow for its transforming into the regional hub for providing transport services to travelers.

    In the 1980s, the flights from this airport were carried out as inside the country (Tbilisi, Sokhumi, Batumi, Mestia), so outside country as well (Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kiev). The Kopitnari Airport was opened after reconstruction in 2012. Its priorities are attraction to attract low-tariff airline companies and create a harmonic environment between the airline companies and airports. As of today, the flights from the Airport are carried out to Eastern Europe, Turkey and Russia.

    The Airport has the capacity to carry out domestic flights for small tourist groups to: highland ski runs in Mestia; well-appointed Black Sea beaches in Batumi; wine tours in Telavi and so on. Proximity to the trunk railroad and motoring highway are the opportune occasions to form the Kopitnari Airport as a synergic transport system.

    Besdies, the Airport’s proximity to the Rioni River can be used for organizing there the short tour of the so-called “Travel of Argonauts to Kolkheti”, which was passed by the well-known traveler Tim Severin by his oared boat named “Argo” in 1984, and the place where he finally dropped anchor was near the Kopitnari Airport.

  • DETERMINATION OF OIL SPILL PARAMETERS IN THE PROCESS OF OIL AND OIL PRODUCTS SPREADING ON THE WATER SURFACE

    Machines. Technologies. Materials., Vol. 9 (2015), Issue 9, pg(s) 3-5

    The growing marine pollution by oil strengthens the interest not only in the methods of combating their causes, but in methods of their forecasting as well on the basis of modeling and calculation of spreading oil spreading on the sea for some reason or other.

    The paper dwells on a mathematical model of calculating the area of oil spill spreading. The developed methodology for calculating change in the radius and area of oil spill is represented by function of three arguments: oil product density ρ , spillover volume V and o spreading time t.

    The proposed model allows forecasting the initial stages of oil spreading. The given methodology enables to determine transit time of the process of oil spill spreading from the first phase to the second one, and from the second to the third one, and the radius and area of oil spill spreading.

  • A ROLE OF INTERNATIONAL TOURIZM IN REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF GEORGIA

    Machines. Technologies. Materials., Vol. 8 (2014), Issue 8, pg(s) 8-10

    The role of international tourism in economic development of Georgia and its regions is very large, which involves such significant tourism objects as customer-travel agents-tour operators- tourist transport services providers. With account for interests and demands of customers, the key things here are correct planning and operative management of such complex material-information processes, as tour formation and realization. International Tourism is a highly effective basis for foreign currency inflows to the country. An advantageous form of tourism export is capable of solving a number of social and economic problems for those countries, which actively develop tourism sector

  • A MATHEMATICAL MODEL OF OIL SPILL DIFFUSION IN NEAR-SHORE ZONE OF GEORGIA

    Machines. Technologies. Materials., Vol. 8 (2014), Issue 7, pg(s) 20-22

    The oil products remain the main contaminant of the Black Sea, as well as of the entire world’s oceans. A main amount of oil is transported by tankers and reloaded in port terminals. 12 per cent of overall marine pollution is the share of transportation, oil congestion and accidents losses. At the Caspian-Black Sea-Mediterranean area there are actively used the Black Sea ports of Batumi, Poti and Kulevi.
    A huge damage to the nature is doing by oil spills on the surface of the oceans and seas owing to transportation oil by tankers. These spills are associated with loading and unloading operations as well as with tankers accidents. In this case, the oil spreads as a spot on the surface of the sea.

    Problems associated with environmental pollution from the oil spill in the sea, made necessity to develop mathematical models that describe the transportation and transformation processes of oil spills. The proposed mathematical model can be used for prediction of the spread of an oil spill during the process of spreading of oil products on the water surface, and it also enables to take into account the reduction of the area of spill due to the action of sea-surface winds and turbulence of the water surface.
