Development of Transport in Eastern Regions of Russia

Abstract

This article considers the issues on forming the Russian transport system, and the impact of distance and climate on the transport development. Special attention is paid to the role of railway transport in the country's transport system, the state and development of rolling stock, and the development of track equipment. Considerable attention is paid to the development of transport and the railway network in the Far East and Siberia. Keywords: transport system of Russia, railway transport, development of railway transport, transport in eastern regions of Russia. International Journal of Engineering & Technology 7 Railway turnover bln. t-km 2,011 2,306 2,344 8 Highway turnover bln. t-km 199 232 234The data of the table show that in 2010-2016 the development of the transport system slowed down. Thus, the volume of the freights transported by railway increased by 0.99%, and the that of the goods transported by road decreased by 1.88%. It follows from the table [15] that railway remains the main means of transport in the country, although the volume of freights transported by road is constantly growing, but the role of railway in the freight turnover is more significant because this type of transport is used to transport freights for long distance [37], the freight turnover of railway increased [in 2010-2016] by 16.55%, which, if the railway network does not develop, inevitably causes the overloading of transport and results in the disruption of the traffic schedule and an increase in the number of accidents [9,17,18,20]. The two most important elements of the transport system are the communication routes and vehicles [3,12,33,44]. Table 2 shows the results of considering the issue on the development of the communication system in Russia in 2010-2016 (Table 2).
