Abstract
This article is devoted to the study of mechanisms for improving the efficiency of logistics activities of operator companies in the context of a surplus of car fleet in the railway network. The necessity of transforming existing models of interaction between participants in the transportation process is substantiated, including through the introduction of technological outsourcing. Technological outsourcing refers to the transfer of logistical assets (in particular, non-public tracks) by industrial enterprises to the management of operator companies, including for the organization of temporary storage of empty rolling stock. A capacity calculation for such tracks is presented, and groups of tracks suitable for purposes of wagon layover are identified. The advantages of this approach for all parties are highlighted: reduced infrastructure load for the carrier, cost optimization for the shipper, and expanded functional capabilities for the operator. The conclusions confirm that technological outsourcing can become a tool for stabilizing the transportation process, increasing the adaptability of the logistics system, and enabling rational resource allocation in the context of volatility of transport demand
