Annotation. The issues of determining the composition of the fleet of insulated vehicles for the transportation of perishable goods by rail are closely related to trends in the markets of transported goods. The choice of different types of insulated vehicles and their quantity should be predetermined based on the volume of goods offered for shipment and their temperature ranges during storage and transportation, regulated by relevant regulatory documents. Based on the fact that the seasonality factor has a significant impact on the functioning of all markets for the transportation of perishable goods, the article suggests using a database of the use of insulated rolling stock over the past years in the form of an weekly seasonal loading map (WSLM).
Key words. Perishable cargo, tuple, WSLM, fish products, seasonality, container, insulated rolling stock, railway transportation, temperature regime.
