“…With export orientation of both trade partners and resulting globalisation around the world, the interdependencies between countries and companies has increased. This development is expected to continue, and countries inevitably will need to transform themselves into service-driven economies with great logistics involvement (Li, 2015;Sawadogo et al, 2012). In this regard, the Sino-Russian transportation logistics will face growth in the future.…”

“…Nowadays, the consideration on the international transport corridor and its proposed development for the facilitation of the international trade requires the allowance of the existing trends in management and measurement of the green practices (Green et al, 2012;Kugaevskii, 2013;Pynnöniemi, 2008;Schaltegger and Burritt, 2014). The local managers, city planners, national authorities, the transport and health sectors and business community need to make decisions that confirm the sustainability aspects, which should be estimated at all phases of global supply chains (Green et al, 2012;Sawadogo et al, 2012;Schaltegger and Burritt, 2014;WHO, 2014). Apparently, for the growth of the market share of intermodal traffic via international transport corridors, business models should be reviewed (Bortolini et al, 2016;Flodén and Williamsson, 2016;Varsei and Polyakovskiy, 2016).…”

Purpose This research examines factors that determine the improvement of the Russian supply chain sustainability. The strategic business model incorporates ecological, social and economic aspects. Design/methodology/approach Considering Trans-Siberian Railway as a typical case, the study selected several cases or the parts of the primary rail connection with the affiliation of important neighbouring countries. The study uses quantitative analyses of a variety of size parameters (e.g. volumes of traffic, logistics costs, delivery distance and air pollutants). Findings The empirical findings stress that supply chains should favour in the future railway (or intermodal) connections for piggyback and containerised cargo. Herein lays the reason for the examination of all traditional factors affecting the modal choice and their complementation by the parameters to measure sustainability throughout the supply chains. The inclusion of the green practices positively affected the environmental, social and economic performance of the new approach. Research limitations/implications This research focuses on the delivery of cargo in containers and semi-trailers within wagons through the overland corridors. Despite the restrictive empirical findings within the national transport system, some elements can be representative of the international supply chains, provided that intermodal services are the most appropriate for the transportation over long distances. Practical implications Clients, media and regulatory bodies stress the consideration of environmental aspects at all stages of a global supply chain. Therefore, their adoption into strategic imperatives of local supply chains becomes inevitable. Originality/value An assessment of supply chains for longer distance transportation in Russia has not taken sustainability into account within cost analyses.

“…All the above-mentioned articles take minimization of cost as their optimization objective. Even in many multiobjective optimizations for intermodal routing, cost objective plays an important role in evaluating the quality of the routes [2,20,[23][24][25]. Such an objective setting results from the fact that the transportation-related costs account for 5-7% of the total revenue [4] and reducing logistics cost has been widely acknowledged to be an effective way for companies to make profit and maintain competition in international trade [20].…”

In this study, a freight routing problem considering both soft delivery time windows and demand and capacity uncertainty in a road-rail intermodal transportation system is investigated. According to fuzzy set theory, uncertain demands and capacities are formulated as trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. Soft delivery time windows under a fuzzy environment is established, in which fuzzy periods caused by early and late deliveries that lead to penalty are modeled based on maximum functions. To solve the routing problem yielding the above characteristics, this study designs a fuzzy mixed-integer nonlinear programming model whose objective is to minimize the total costs created in the road-rail intermodal transportation activities. After using the fuzzy expected value method to address the fuzzy objective, two fuzzy approaches, i.e., fuzzy chance-constrained programming method and fuzzy ranking method, are separately adopted to undertake the defuzzification of the fuzzy constraints. Improved linear formulations of the model are then produced to make it easier to solve. A simulation-based reliability modeling is developed to quantify the reliability of the optimization results given by different fuzzy approaches under different parameter settings in a simulation environment. Finally, an empirical case is presented to verify the feasibility of the proposed methods. The effects of demand and capacity fuzziness on the routing optimization are revealed, and an optimization procedure that helps decision-makers to select a more suitable fuzzy approach and determine the best parameter setting for a given case is demonstrated. Some insights that are helpful for organizing a reliable transportation are also drawn.

“…The Russian environmental legislation contains a standard for the permissible anthropogenic pressure on the environment, but the way how to determine the anthropogenic pressure has not been established yet. In the scientific community, there are different approaches to assessing the anthropogenic pressure, including both complex studies [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] and component-wise analysis of pollution of the environment [9][10][11][12][13][14][15], as well as the study of the ecological state of the territory of the Rostov region [16]. However, a generally accepted method for its determination has not been developed.…”

Improvement of the methodology for determining the anthropogenic pressure on the region's environment, assessment of individual components and the total anthropogenic pressure, analysis of its formation and distribution in Rostov region. The main factors of anthropogenic impact on the environment are divided into four groups and presented in the form of demographic, industrial, agricultural and transport pressure, which, when summed up, give the total anthropogenic pressure. When determining certain types of anthropogenic pressure in the calculations, materials of statistical yearbooks and official data of regional reports on the state of the environment were used. For each type of anthropogenic pressure, indicators of anthropogenic impact and their numerical values were determined. The total anthropogenic pressure was determined by the sum of points. The features of the formation of anthropogenic pressure in Rostov region have been established. In cities with an industrial type of nature management, an increased and average anthropogenic pressure prevails. In rural areas of suburban urbanized zones and the development of mineral raw materials with an agrarian-industrial type of natural resource use, maximum indicators of environmental impact for agrarian areas, increased and average values of industrial, demographic and agricultural pressure have been established. Rural areas with an agrarian type, remote from industrial centers, are characterized by an increased agricultural pressure, lower and low values of the total pressure.
