The article covers the possibility of innovative transportation system development on base of airfoil boats in regions with low density of population and special climate conditions. The place and the role of innovative transportation system in regional development are defined. Innovative projects of transportation development are analyzed. Indicators of innovative modernization of transportation system are proposed. Comparative analysis of operational and economic characteristics of different transportation means has been made. Main economic indicators of the program of development of innovative transportation system in the regions of Siberia and the Far East of Russia and Arctic are presented. [Sandakova N.Y. Innovative transportation system as a regional development condition.

Normative and legal documents that regulate regional Siberia, Far East and arctic area are development, transport and transportation system supposed to become the areas of priority relate to regulation factors. development. Considering the problem of new Among the major challenges of new transportation means capable to solve the problem of transportation means deployment in transportation transportation services provisioning is important side system there is an obsolescence of existing of this work. transportation means and reduction of growth rate of Unlike target demand that satisfies specific demand for these means. River transport is striking requirements demand for new transportation means example of this situation. It is characterized by low will be created by offering innovative transportation speeds (lower than 70 km/hour), low passability and means and technologies. Availability of new seasonal character. Considering existing demand on transportation means will create preconditions for all-the-year-round high speed transportation river production of these means and will promote positive transport can not compete with other transportation demand dynamics. types. On the other hand demand on air transport is Analyzing the place of new transportation limited due to high tariffs on cargo and people means in existing transportation system it is transportation. Railway and motor transport are main important to understand what niche their competitive ways of cargo transportation in the country. Despite a advantages may be better demonstrated in. certain level of demand for these types of services Modern transportation system is comprised there are limitations due to the lack of well developed of air, railway, motor, river and sea transport. railway and motor-road infrastructure especially in Functional specific of air transport is its capability to the regions of Siberia and Far East of Russia. So one organize high speed transportation for long distances. may suppose that functional niche for the new type of High tariffs make this kind of transport mainly (about transportation mean exists and this transportation 90%) passenger transport. Air transportation growth mean is based on the new technologies allowing rate is stable. It reflects the growth of the income of satisfying social and economic demand for high population. No one transportation mean cannot http://www.lifesciencesite.com 660 [email protected] Life Science Journal 2014;11(11s) http://www.lifesciencesite.com compete with air transport in speed (up to 700 - support relatively high speeds; km/hour). Railway transport traffic does not depend - has high penetrability; on weather conditions, its functional specific is also - create the lowest possible environmental acceptable tariffs and well developed infrastructure pressure. (especially in Central Russia). Cargo transportation Development of innovative transportation growth rate tends to grow. But high power system is based on analysis of modern trends in consumption, capital intensity, insufficient level of science and its perspectives logistic chains management has serious effect on [1,3,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13]. It is necessary to study development of this transport in new territories. alternative (innovative) variants of transportation that Motor transport is characterized by well developed may lay the foundation of high effective transportation infrastructure, low dependence of transportation system in regions with specific climate weather conditions and relatively low tariffs on conditions and low density of population. Innovative transportation, but it requires significant investments decisions in transportation should solve the problem in building and maintaining motor-roads and it is also of regional development and increase attractiveness characterized by high fuel costs ratio. River transport of a region for investors and competitiveness. has almost ceased to exist due to high costs of All the mentioned make study of innovative channel dredging, canal track support, low speeds of decisions in transportation pressing problem. A traffic, obsolescence of ships. River transportation number of scientific works [2,3,4,8,9,10], may be ratio to all types of transportation is low and these mentioned that may offer either additional or type of transport is developed usually in regions alternative way of transportation to existing means. where using other types of transportation is limited. Sea transport has also serious problems with Table 1. Innovative development in transportation development due to world trend to high speed technologies (compiled by author) transportations and low demand for a part of fleet. Transportation Possible alternative solutions Introduction of a new type of transportation mean capable to fill the former niche of river and sea Railway - Younitski string transport transport is not expected to make serious disturbances transport - transportation system with in freight traffic in existing types of transportation but vertical track structure and others may be capable to leverage river and sea shipping Air transport - “Dingo” aircraft operations. Existing river transportation network may - “AKIP” aircraft become perspective canal tracks of the new mean of - new generation dirigibles and transportation in case it does not require channel others dredging and building additional infrastructure. River (sea) - second generation air-cushion I think that innovative transportation system transport amphibian ships; is transportation system characterized by quality - airfoil boat and others development based of ecological, technological and In general study of innovative development economic improvement of transportation means, in transportation allows making the following transportation technologies and transportation conclusion: 1) Russian scientists have designed process in general. competitive with traditional transportation means; 2) Or the most perspective and realistic may be considered ITS=(k, s, p, e) deployment of “EKIP” aircraft [9] (that is actually where airfoil boat) and airfoil boats [2,8,10].

Selecting indicators Е – environmental pressure min it is necessary to fully consider regional specifics. In general innovative transportation system Development possibilities of innovative for the regions with low density of population and transportation system depend on strategic choice in a severe climate conditions should satisfy the following region that may vary under the influence of external requirements: and internal factors. - support all-the-year-round transportation Existing transportation system may function and be relatively independent of weather and climate and develop but it will require significant resources conditions; for state support of socially valuable directions and - does not require significant investments in seasonal transport.
