Abstract
AbstractNew information products and services are needed to develop the logistics capabilities of Russian Railways, increase the competitiveness of the Holding Company on the freight market in the context of digitalisation, and meet customers’ needs for comprehensive services. Efficient wagon fleet management is a priority in rail transport. The market for operator companies was studied for this purpose. Private wagon fleet management issues in the current environment are explored. A shortage of wagons at loading stations is currently observed, while there is a general surplus of wagons. The conditions of interaction between loading stations and the coordinated supply of empty wagon traffic for a given time interval are considered. As a result, the condition of ensuring that empty rolling stock arrives at the loading stations within a given time period can be highlighted. An optimality criterion for wagon control is formulated. A method for operational management of empty wagon traffic is used, with the ability to predict the operational situation, as well as the selection of the best option for moving loaded and empty wagons, with a minimum operating fleet of wagons. The need to improve wagon fleet management is indicated. Conditions for ensuring an agreed supply of wagons for loading are described. A calculated formula for the optimality criterion for wagon control is established. A methodology for determining the optimality criterion for the operator company's wagon fleet management when feeding empty wagons for loading is presented.KeywordsOperator companyWagon fleet managementEmpty wagon traffic supplySupply consistency conditionWagon fleet management optimality criterionDigital railroadDigitalization
