AB  - The problem dealt with in this article is the methodology of the key performance indicators (KPI) evaluation of shunting locomotives operation when performing hauling and shunting work. The main parameters affecting the efficiency of rolling stock operation are described, including performance, fuel efficiency and locomotive utilization rate. The algorithm of KPI calculation is proposed, based on the analysis of operational data and statistical methods is proposed. According to the analysis of the trend in cargo transportation over the past 3 years, the need to develop a methodology for evaluating the key performance indicators of shunting work is justified. A comparative analysis of various approaches to assessing the operational performance of locomotives is carried out, their advantages and disadvantages are revealed. Practical recommendations for improving the operational performance of rolling stock are described.
