Software and technical solution for the spur track to a large-capacity production facility: on the way to multi-agent technologies (Part I)

Most major corporations of the Russian Federation consider railway logistics as non-core function. As a consequence, the development of this function is hindered, investments are made, mainly to repair wagons, locomotives and railways or to purchase new wagons instead of worn out to maintain economic security of business. However, there are organizational and software-technical solutions that could make a breakthrough in this area in terms of increasing the productivity of logistics assets and reducing specific logistics costs.
