We strove to improve the quality of passenger service by leveraging our own resources and capabilities. Through our efforts undertaken as part of the Year of the Passenger Programme, we succeeded in reversing the negative trend in passenger transportation, carrying 1.37 billion people by rail, a 1.6% increase over 2015. Domestic travel has gained popularity with passengers, including leisure travel, which was particularly visible in strong passenger numbers during the summer holiday period. To make our services even more convenient for our passengers, we started selling tickets for all long-distance trains 60 days before departure. We plan to increase this period to 120 days, to enable customers to plan their travel well in advance. We remained fully aware of passengers with restricted mobility or other special needs, focusing on providing greater comfort to these customer groups aboard trains and at stations.

  • Container and Multimodal Railway Transportations in Russia Commissioned By
    Ruslan Aliev CONTAINER AND MULTIMODAL RAILWAY TRANSPORTATIONS IN RUSSIA Bachelor’s thesis Degree Programme in Business Logistics 2020 Author Degree Time Ruslan Aliev Degree Programme April 2020 in Business Logistics Thesis title 67 pages Container and multimodal railway transportations in Russia Commissioned by Kouvola Innovation Oy Supervisor Jouni Ropponen Abstract Railway container transportation is one of the fastest-growing areas of the transport industry in Russia. Even though Russia is not a leading country in terms of the share of container transport by rail today, it gives them very important strategic importance. With its vast geographical area, Russia has very good opportunities for becoming a transport giant. Container and multimodal rail transportation in Russia and the prospects for their further development were studied in this thesis including current situation of rail container transportation in Russia, positions of the transport system of Russia in the world, current trends of the Russian transport market, role of the state in modernizing railway infrastructure and the technologies that are used in railway container transportation. In addition, the Kouvola-Xi'an route was analyzed in detail. In the study, both qualitative and quantitative methods of analysis were used. Quantitative methods were used to formalize statistics for a clear understanding of the topic and qualitative methods were employed in the form of interviews found on the Internet and annual reports of companies. The paper showed that Russia has great potential for increasing freight traffic, especially in transit. The continuous work to modernize the infrastructure will most likely lead to an increase in freight traffic. Innovation is an important component for development.

  • Typological Features of Water Structures of the Railway in West Siberian Urban Territories
    MATEC Web of Conferences 193, 02021 (2018) https://doi.org/10.1051/matecconf/201819302021 ESCI 2018 Typological features of water structures of the Railway in West Siberian Urban territories Eugenia Ketova 1,* and Juliya Nizhegorodskaya1 1 Novosibirsk State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering, 630099 Novosibirsk, Russia Abstract. The railway construction was a new phenomenon for Russia and was not sufficiently studied from a technological point of view. Primarily, climatic and geographical factors were the main problems in the process of the Trans-Siberian Railway construction. Severe winter, permafrost, mountainous, abundant forest terrain created certain difficulties during the construction phase. Therefore, the builders were forced to violate the nature integrity and lay the railway lines along the most profitable routes. The railway line was naturally chosen, first it should pass through large settlements, and secondly, the important factor was the location of the station near the water source for the uninterrupted operation of locomotives. But together with technological progress, this system was evolved into a complex organism, which parts were modernized, and some of them turned into inefficient structures that are collapsing and polluting the environment. 1 Introduction One of the main ecological relationship types between a person and water is his water use through the implementation of individual or centralized water supply. Long-term development of water supply technology is allowed to improve methods of water intake and transportation, which led to some elements inefficiency in the water supply system. Each year, an unprotected object comes to decay, collapsing enclosing structures, facade elements, roofing, and foundation; damage not only environment, but also a danger to humans.

Failure in the network of the Krasnoyarsk Railway, its structure, the topology data transfer network operation can make absolutely senseless of data transmission and the routing protocol, which supports its operation of the automation application in case, if there is no operation, as well as the specifics of data transmission possibility to transfer the information, processed by networking. The combination of the railway automation automation application, on operation of the company servicing applications and the data transmission network make up the the rail road, station or directorate. The data transfer can be automation systems, making it possible to improve performance, sufficiently delayed when transferring large data volumes increase the freight traffic volume, and improve the quality of using voice communication or low speed mobile data transfer passenger service. The objective of this paper is to study the network. When functionality of the data transfer network is existing data transmission network of the Krasnoyarsk Railway recovered, the importance of collected information can be and to develop ways of its modernization, in order to improve the reliability of the network and the automated systems that use this already lost.

  • Efficiency Indicators of the Eastern Polygon and Its Development Prospects
    SHS Web of Conferences 112, 00030 (2021) https://doi.org/10.1051/shsconf/202111200030 Northern Sustainable Development Forum 2020 Efficiency indicators of the eastern polygon and its development prospects Natalya N. Grigoryeva1,*, and Tatyana A. Bulokhova1 1 Irkutsk State Transport University, 15, Chernyshevsky Str., Irkutsk, Russia Abstract. The development strategy of "Russian Railways" OAO provides for increasing competitiveness and strengthening the company's market position. Due to the increase in Russia's foreign trade turnover with the countries of the Asia-Pacific region, the growth of transit freight traffic between Europe and Asia, and the need to implement the country's transit potential in the context of the globalization of the transport service market the railway industry faces the task of handling the growing volumes of traffic in the direction of the Far Eastern ports. One of the essential goals until 2030 is to increase the country's transit capacity. Its implementation is a priority in the field of international standing of our country. Along with the Baikal- Amur Mainline, the Eastern polygon is pivotal in solving this problem. Its development will ensure the connection of transport flows from West to East, will make changes in the routes of world trade, thereby increasing the share of Russia in Eurasian transit. The degree of efficient railway transport operation depends on the creation of favorable conditions for modernization, transition to the innovative development path and sustainable growth of the national economy. This generally contributes to the conditioning of Russia's leadership in the world economic system, as there is a new geopolitical landscape globally evolving at present, whose contours should be considered in the foreseeable future.
