The transport system plays an important role in the conditions of dynamic development of the national economy, reliability and regularity of transport provision. The unified transport system is a combination of means of communication of conveyances, all types of transport, industrial enterprises, transport organizations, providing transportation of goods and passengers. This article describes the main advantages, disadvantages and specifics of railway transport. Currently, the majority of transport and economic land connections between the countries of Europe and Central, East and Southeast Asia to the territory of the Russian Federation, to its transport system, due to the peculiarities of the geographical position of the Russian Federation. The characteristic of the main Russian shipping companies is given. The main objects of the infrastructure of the railway industry in Russia. The main problems of the functioning of the railway industry of the Russian Federation listed. A comparative assessment of the railway transport network of Russia, USA, China and India is present. A SWOT analysis conducted to assess the strengths and weaknesses of the Russian rail and road transport.
The increasing integrated nature of logistics systems services and their role in global chains increases the relevance of the development of a multifactorial methodology for the evaluation of transport-warehouse systems. The study is aimed at development of the methodology of the multidisciplinary study of the terminal and warehousing infrastructure (the author's name is "terminalistics"). Approaches of logistics, transport geography and operation of transportation nodes were used when developing the concept of the methodology. The theory of decision making and the systems theory was used to develop standardized indicators. Programming was used for automatation of decision making. A system of indicators was proposed for comprehensive assessment of operation of transportation and warehousing systems. The characteristics of the new integrated section of the transportation and logistics science was given. A system of logistic normalization of logistics facilities activities was described. Some graphical dependencies based on the proposed indicators were obtained by calculation in real conditions.
In today's world, China occupies important, if not leading, positions in its region in various industrial sectors, and therefore the question of the possibilities of delivering a very large amount of Chinese products, including ways and means of delivering goods from China to Europe and back, has now become very serious. The last decade, China has actively proclaimed a policy of openness and carries out a huge number of various reforms. Thanks to this, China was able to sign many documents with European countries on cooperation in various fields - economy, trade, science, technology, culture, and in the field of civil aviation, road, rail, and maritime transport. In addition, directly with the EU - general trade agreements. Such cooperation leads to a change in the structure of trade and economic relations, because of which the customs relations of the PRC with members of the Eurasian Economic Cooperation (EAEU) change. The article is devoted to the Chinese project "New Silk Road". The cargo flows of the project “New Silk Road” investigated. It was determined that sea freight is the most profitable way to deliver goods from China to Europe. The transit channel between Europe and Asia is consider as a way to develop an international logistics system in the territories adjacent to Asia and Europe.
