Assessment of Postal Traffic Flows by Means of Measurement System for Transportation Services Transit Times

Abstract

The paper is focused on usage of methods for assessment of test postal items flows used for measurement of the transit time of end-to-end transportation services for single piece priority mail. The results come out from modelling of measurement of postal transport system efficiency on the basis of real postal traffic flows with particular discriminant characteristics. Measurement of transit time is realized by flow of test postal items in proportion to real postal traffic flows. The result of on-time performance is represented by estimate of on-time probability. The main objective of this paper is assessment of measurement system efficiency by calculation of key parameters for assessment of measurement results from viewpoint of next modelling.
