Efficient use of railway rolling stock is an important aspect of the transportation industry. The presence of wagons on access roads plays a significant role in the overall performance of logistics chains. The article discusses the main approaches to rationing the time spent by wagons, analyzes existing problems and suggests optimization techniques based on modern technological solutions. The purpose of this work is to develop a methodology for rationing the time spent by wagons on access roads, aimed at reducing downtime and increasing the speed of cargo turnover without compromising the quality of cargo handling. The research method includes an analysis of the current state of operation of access roads, identification of the main problems and limitations, as well as the application of the principles of queuing theory. The technological and interoperable components of the time spent by wagons on access roads, including unproductive downtime, are considered. Special attention is paid to the complexity of applying the analytical method due to the difficulties of classifying access roads, the need for accurate data collection and the approximation of the formulas used. The scope of the results includes planning and optimizing the operation of access roads of industrial enterprises, terminals and warehouse complexes integrated into multimodal supply chains. The proposed methodology makes it possible to take into account the specifics of technological operations, the technical characteristics of rolling stock and infrastructural constraints. The practical significance of the work lies in the possibility of reducing the downtime of wagons, improving the use of rolling stock and increasing the overall efficiency of the transport system. The implementation of the proposed approaches contributes to the adaptation of access roads to changes in external and internal conditions, as well as the integration of advanced technologies into logistics process management.
