Russia’s railways remain a key of cross-subsidisation: to passenger operations condition, with high demands from energy strategic focus for the nation. from freight revenues, and to coal shipments from other freight. The majority of Russia’s rail network uses the 1,520mm Russian gauge, which includes all metro systems and the majority of tram networks in the country. The Sakhalin Railway, on Sakhalin Island used 1,067mm Cape gauge, however tracks on island are now undergoing conversion to Russian gauge. A section from the Poland–Russia border to Kaliningrad, uses the 1,435mm Standard gauge. Kaliningrad’s tram network also uses metre-gauge tracks at 1,000mm, as does Stavropol krai’s Pyatigorsk network.

China has shown its interest in taking part in the project as part of the construction of the high-speed rail network between Moscow and Beijing. One of the main conditions from the Chinese side was to use their technology and equipment for construction. Due to underdeveloped local capability and lack of access to Western technologies, the Russian counterparts agreed to these conditions. Russian Railways plans to operate 300m-long bullet trains on the route. The trains will have an operating speed of 360km/h and a maximum speed of 440km/h.

These notes are based upon 14 meetings between 6th-9th October 2015, plus one further meeting in January 2016.

    Alexander Y. Ryzkov, Pavel V. Zyuzin URBAN PUBLIC TRANSPORT DEVELOPMENT IN RUSSIA: TRENDS AND REFORMS BASIC RESEARCH PROGRAM WORKING PAPERS SERIES: URBAN AND TRANSPORTATION STUDIES WP BRP 05/URB/2016 This Working Paper is an output of a research project implemented at the National Research University Higher School of Economics (HSE). Any opinions or claims contained in this Working Paper do not necessarily reflect the views of HSE. Alexander Y. Ryzkov1,1 Pavel V. Zyuzin2 URBAN PUBLIC TRANSPORT DEVELOPMENT IN RUSSIA: TRENDS AND REFORMS The aim of the article is to present the ways of urban public transport development in Russia within the context of the transition towards the market economy. The article consists of two blocks: the trends of urban public transport development in the Russian Federation and the problems of urban public transport management. The first block presents the survey of urban public transport development trends by transport mode with the attention to the mass transit. The quantitative and qualitative analysis of urban public transport in Russian cities since 1991 is provided. The positive and negative cases of urban public transport development are revealed. The most important features of urban public transport functioning connected to the urban planning and transport planning practice are discussed. The second part presents an overview of the main decisions made by public authorities in the field of urban public transport management. The key questions are: the general logic of administration, the role of private transport operators, funding and risks of the market participants. The general conclusions are made which reveals the place of the Russian Federation within the context of world urban transport development trends.

  • Station Facilities Survey Form
    Station Facilities Campaigning for a bigger, better Railway Survey Form www.railfuture.org.uk This form has been produced by Railfuture’s Passenger Group in 2020. Railfuture has produced various station survey forms over the years, and several are on the Railfuture website, as rail user groups (RUGs) and others may prefer different formats. However, this form has the latest set of questions and is the only form currently being used by Railfuture’s volunteers. How to use this form This form is intended to be downloaded by members of Railfuture branches, affiliated user groups, Community Rail Partnerships or others who wish to carry out surveys of the facilities at their local station(s) for the purposes of their campaign work. This could include allowing branches and user groups to collect and analyse data on station facilities in their area, campaigning for improvements to facilities at particular stations; or to highlight examples of good practice or innovative ways of delivering improvements to station facilities. For ease of use this form has been broken down into separate sections covering different areas of the station and types of facility (e.g. access to the station; parking; buying a ticket; information and wayfinding; interchange with other public transport; etc.) provided. Obviously, not all of these sections will be applicable to every station as the facilities will vary according to the size, level of usage and location of individual stations, so the layout of this form is designed to enable users to skip those sections that are not applicable: this is also why the sections relating to interchange with trams and metro services as they apply to comparatively few stations.

Экономика. 2019. № 48 МИРОВАЯ ЭКОНОМИКА UDC 330.5, 338.4 DOI: 10.17223/19988648/48/20 V.S. Chsherbakov, O.A. Gerasimov AIR TRANSPORT IN RUSSIA AND ITS IMPACT ON THE ECONOMY The study aims to collect and analyse statistics of Russian air transport, show the in- fluence of air transport on the national economy over the period from 2007 to 2016, compare the sector’s role in Russia with the one in other countries. The study reveals the significance of air transport for Russian economy by comparing airlines’ and air- ports’ monetary output to the gross domestic product. On the basis of the research, the policies in the aviation sector can be adjusted by government authorities. Ключевые слова: Russia, aviation, GDP, economic impact, air transport, statistics. Introduction According to Air Transport Action Group, the air transport industry supports 62.7 million jobs globally and aviation’s total global economic impact is $2.7 trillion (approximately 3.5% of the Gross World Product) [1]. Aviation transported 4 billion passengers in 2017, which is more than a half of world population, according to the International Civil Aviation Organization [2]. It makes the industry one of the most important ones in the world. It has a consid- erable effect on national economies by providing a huge number of employment opportunities both directly and indirectly in such spheres as tourism, retail, manufacturing, agriculture, and so on. Air transport is a driving force behind economic connection between different regions because it may entail economic, political, and social effects.

  • Innovative Doubly-Fed Freight Electric Locomotive 2EV120 “Knyaz' Vladimir”
    MATEC Web of Conferences 239, 01001(2018) https://doi.org/10.1051/matecconf /201823901001 TransSiberia 2018 Innovative doubly-fed freight electric locomotive 2EV120 “Knyaz' Vladimir” Kirill Domanov1,* 1Omsk State Transport University, 644046, Marx av., 35, Omsk, Russia Abstract. The paper considers a new doubly-fed freight electric locomotive taking into account the world experience of locomotive construction, the regulatory base and operating conditions on the railways of Russia. Its parameters are presented: the main technical characteristics in comparison with currently used electric locomotives of new series, standard traction characteristics, and the characteristic of electric braking. Features of the design of the units and parts of the undercarriage and brake equipment are given. The studied doubly-fed freight electric locomotive is designed taking into account the optimal combination of equipment backup capabilities and increased operational reliability with minimization of the failure flow causing the withdrawal of two or more traction axles due to the faults. It has promising possibilities for replacing outdated locomotives with alternating and direct current, operated on sections with changing and adjacent stations, electrified on a constant and single-phase alternating current in the places where such sections are joined to the extent of the organization of traffic control according to the principles of working domain technologies. In this case, the joints between the two types of the train current can pass nearly without stopping, their running time is shortened, and the performance indicators are improved. 1 Introduction The development of rail transport in Russia is a strategic task. In the conditions of a dynamically changing economic situation and an active desire to fill a niche of leadership among other modes of transport, modernization, improvement of rolling stock and infrastructure is required, which is impossible without scientific research taking into account global socio-economic changes and innovations.
