Robno transportni centri predstavljaju najveći stupanj integracije logističkih aktivnosti, logističkih sustava te korisnika i nositelja logističkih usluga. Prilikom planiranja robno transportnog centra (RTC-a) potrebno je napraviti detaljnu analizu elemenata koji utječu na izgradnju, a nakon toga i na samu eksploataciju njegovoga rada. U ovom radu teorijski se objašnjavaju elementi robno transportnog centra. U te elemente ulaze lokacija, površine namjenjene za rad RTC-a, kapacitet, manipulacijska i prijevozna sredstva. Nakon toga, prikazane su matematičke metode i programski alati za određivanje i proračune pojedinih elemenata. Na kraju rada definirana je i prikazana analiza ekonomske opravdanosti na stvarnom primjeru izgradnje robno transportnog centra.

Cargo transportion centers represent the highest degree of integration of logistics activities, logistic systems and users together with logistics service providers. During planning a cargo transportion center (RTC), it is necessary to make a detailed analysis of the elements that affect the construction and the exploitation of its work after construction. In this final paper the elements of cargo transportion center are theoretically explained. These elements include locations, areas intended for RTC operation, capacity, manipulation and transportation resources. Subsequently, mathematical methods and program tools for the determination and calculation of individual elements are presented. At the end of this paper, feasibility analysis for the construction of a cargo transportation center was defined and presented.
