This article considers the problem of managing the logistics process in railway transport in terms of the interaction of the main agents of the transport process. The relevance and significance of research in this area of transport logistics is indicated. The necessity of creating a mechanism for information management of agents in order to increase the efficiency of interaction between agents at all stages of the transportation is revealed. An algorithm for ranking operator companies has been developed based on the use of a comprehensive indicator of the functioning of rolling stock owners. On the example of a catchment polygon limited by the number of agents, its operation is demonstrated and the main conclusions are made about the effectiveness of this algorithm as one of the tools for building the agent awareness structure and the possibility of using it as a decision support system. The role of the algorithm in the mechanism of information management of agents in railway transport is determined.
