    Georgia Transport Sector Assessment, Strategy, and Road Map

    Georgia Transport Sector Assessment, Strategy, and Road Map The Asian Development Bank (ADB) is preparing sector assessments and road maps to help align future ADB support with the needs and strategies of developing member countries and other development partners. The transport sector assessment of Georgia is a working document that helps inform the development of country partnership strategy. It highlights the development issues, needs and strategic assistance priorities of the transport sector in Georgia. The knowledge product serves as a basis for further dialogue on how ADB and the government can work together to tackle the challenges of managing transport sector development in Georgia in the coming years. About the Asian Development Bank ADB’s vision is an Asia and Pacific region free of poverty. Its mission is to help its developing member countries reduce poverty and improve the quality of life of their people. Despite the region’s many successes, it remains home to two-thirds of the world’s poor: 1.7 billion people who live on less than $2 a day, with 828 million struggling on less than $1.25 a day. Georgia Transport Sector ADB is committed to reducing poverty through inclusive economic growth, environmentally sustainable growth, and regional integration. Based in Manila, ADB is owned by 67 members, including 48 from the region. Its main Assessment, Strategy, instruments for helping its developing member countries are policy dialogue, loans, equity investments, guarantees, grants, and technical assistance. and Road Map TRANSPORT AND COMMUNICATIONS.

To the best of my knowledge this thesis contains no material previously published by any other person except where due acknowledgement has been made. This thesis contains no material which has been accepted as part of the requirements of any other academic degree or non-degree program, in English or in any other language. This is a true copy of the thesis, including final revisions. Date: ……………………………………………………… Name (printed letters): ……………………………………………………… Signature: ……………………………………………………… CEU eTD Collection ii Abstract The existing discourse on leftist movements in post-Soviet countries characterizes them as weak and isolated. This research analyzes the case of Lithuania, which has had parliamentary left parties since the democratic transition. Despite this, a new leftist movement recently began to emerge. Therefore, I answer the question, why has the political opportunity emerged for new leftist political groups despite the presence of the “old” left in the Lithuanian government? I analyze the case on several levels. Macro level analysis is based on European Value Study (EVS) 3rd pre-release of 2017 data, while for mezzo/micro level analysis I conducted 8 interviews with the members of the new leftist movement. The research reveals that a precarious society was formed by the losers of democratic transition and globalization.

This report presents the results of an analysis of the impact that international freight traffic barriers have on logistics, transit potential, and development of transport corridors traversing EAEU member states. The authors of EDB Centre for Integration Studies Report No. 49 maintain that, if current railway freight rates and Chinese railway subsidies remain in place, by 2020 container traffic along the China-EAEU-EU axis may reach 250,000 FEU. At the same time, long-term freight traffic growth is restricted by a number of internal and external factors. The question is: What can be done to fully realise the existing trans-Eurasian transit potential? Removal of non-tariff and technical barriers is one of the key target areas. Restrictions discussed in this report include infrastructural (transport and logistical infrastructure), border/customs-related, and administrative/legal restrictions. The findings of a survey conducted among European consignors is a valuable source of information on these subjects. The authors present their recommendations regarding what can be done to remove the barriers that hamper international freight traffic along the China-EAEU-EU axis.
  • Usage of Intelligent Technologies in Choosing the Strategy of Technical Maintenance of Locomotives

    Usage of Intelligent Technologies in Choosing the Strategy of Technical Maintenance of Locomotives

    Technologijos ir menas, 2017 (8), ISSN 2029-400X USAGE OF INTELLIGENT TECHNOLOGIES IN CHOOSING THE STRATEGY OF TECHNICAL MAINTENANCE OF LOCOMOTIVES O. Ochkasov, O. Shvets, L. Černiauskaitė Dnipropetrovsk National University of Railway Transport named after Academician V. Lazaryan, Lazaryana St., 2, Dnipropetrovsk, Ukraine. Department “Locomotives”, [email protected] ORCID 0000-0002-7719-7214 Abstract. The paper substantiates the need to improve the existing strategy in organization of maintenance and repair of locomotives. Many railway companies continue to use the preventive maintenance system for railway engines repairs. This system of maintenance requires considerable funds for repair work, and the amount of repair work not always corresponds to the actual technical condition of the locomotive. The usage of this approach in the organization of maintenance can be considered as morally obsolete. Especially this approach is not effective for locomotives equipped with on-board diagnostic systems. The analysis of maintenance and repair system for locomotives used on Ukrainian and Lithuanian railways is car- ried out. Alternative approaches to the organization of the locomotive maintenance system and experience of their use in the world are considered. Approaches and methods for the development of an intelligent strategy of maintenance and repairs are proposed. Requirements to the structure and contents of the baseline data for the development of intelligent systems are formulated. A technology for the collection and processing the information of the diagnostic systems for the intellectual strategies development of technical content is proposed. The transition to more advanced strategy of hauling equipment maintenance will lead to a reduction in the cost of repairs while achieving a high level of reliability.
