Indicators of interaction between Russian Railways, shippers and operator companies
The features of the transportation process participants functioning and interaction on the railway transport are considered. Scientific and applied tasks of the transportation process participant interaction in modern conditions are determined. The criteria and methods of their definition are proposed to assess the process of interaction between the transportation process participants and the rationale for the management solutions in the distribution of the freight car park. The main indicators reflecting the features of the railway transport market players (carrier, shipper and operator companies) are analyzed. An integrated indicator has been derived, taking into account the time and cost of freight car delivery, to select the optimal variant of the car distribution. For the polygon under consideration, possible options for car delivery routes were identified, calculations were made and a histogram of the comprehensive indicator values was built when the train along the routes. According to the results of the calculations, graphs of the complex indicator depending on the cost of operations performed with freight cars on the route and on time to promote cars are constructed. The use of the proposed comprehensive indicator allows you to quickly select a route that meets the requirements of the transportation process participants.
