Abstract
The rail transport participates in shipping the most part of export traffic volume in Russia. Currently, there is a systemic problem in trains’ retirement in a route, coming to the port railways stations. One of the ways to solve this problem is to implement logistics centers close to the port railway stations. However, nowadays, the operators of these logistics centers have to receive the information manually. Hence, it is limited the increase in operation’s efficiency. First part of the paper presents the analysis of causes when trains are going to be abandoned, which are coming to the port railways stations. Moreover, this paper gives the understanding what kind of goals should be considered in implementation of the logistics center close to port railway stations. Second part of the paper reflects the proposed functional opportunities of automatic control system of the logistics center. This system increases the efficiency of operators’ operation in logistics center because of transition from manual control of traffic flows to the information decision support system.
