Features of formation of car-traffic in a regional transportation system in conditions the multi-agents organization of a railway transportation

As a result of structural reform of Russian railways, a host of agents those provide customers with loading resources. These processes reduce in efficiency of the car fleet, increasing transportation costs, shortage of cars for many customers, an increase of empty runs and, as a result, a depletion of a number of sections of the network carrying capacity at a reduced total volume of rail traffic. According to the authors, the reason for this situation is the mismatch occurred heterogeneity of rolling stock to existing planning conditions and tariffs. It is established that the inefficiency of decentralized car fleet contributes to the predominance of tree-type network, and the importance of this factor in the new environment has increased substantially. To ensure the efficient operation of rail transport as a systemic industry, providing mass-haul transport, it is proposed for integration into a regional logistics. It is also shown that freight terminals regional logistics transportation and distribution system (RLTRS) is appropriate to create on the basis of major freight railway stations.
