Abstract

The geographical location of the Baikal region has an important strategic role in the socioeconomic development of the country. Transport infrastructure is an integral part of the efficient functioning of all sectors of the economy. Of greater importance to transport is the fact that the main highways of the region are part of the transport corridors between Asia and Europe. Mapping of transport in Baikal-Mongolian Asia is intended to help in researching the problems of optimal economically balanced development of the region. The semantic classification of the cartographic signs of the transport systems of the region was created to streamline the display of all objects, processes, phenomena and interactions of the transport complex. Using this classification, a database of transport indicators of the regions was formed, which were included in the cartographic information system of the Baikal region. On the basis of this database, a transport map of Baikal-Mongolian Asia was created, which covers the Baikal region and the territory of Mongolia within the basin of Lake Baikal. Using the created maps, as well as other literary and statistical sources, an analysis of the transport of Baikal-Mongolian Asia was carried out. This analysis led to the conclusion that the southern most developed and populated areas of the Baikal region and the central part of Mongolia have a developed transport network. The northern regions of the Baikal region and the western part of Mongolia are poorly developed, with a low density of roads. In the future, transport mapping is intended to assist in solving the problems of the socio-economic development of the region.
