Abstract: The analysis of technological procedures in transport and logistics aimed at innovating established procedures is an ongoing process not only in the present. Constant innovation can significantly reduce the operating costs and dramatically increase transport speeds. Continuous modernization reflecting customer needs keeps the rail sector competitive with other modes of transport. The research explores the use of augmented reality in procedures for processing sets of wagons in freight trains. The analysis involves technological procedures in rail freight transport at the marshalling yard, revealing characteristics of augmented reality. We assessed the feasibility of implementing options separately for the carrier, the railway infrastructure manager and the combination of both. The implementation of augmented reality is always rational, representing a simplification, acceleration or reduction of costs in the usual technological procedures. Incorrectly implemented augmented reality may cause serious complications to the technological process, including undue delays, overpricing and safety threats to employees operating in the track.
