ТРАНСПОРТ ЯПОНИИ В СОВРЕМЕННОМ МИРЕ

Abstract

: Relying on the experience of the “lost decade”, Japan emerged from the world economic crisis of 2008–2009. faster compared to other developed countries. But full-scale national anti-crisis programs, the main of which in the real sector of the economy were transport infrastructure projects, inevitably put a heavy burden on the country’s budget. Since 2010, the economy has shown signs of recovery. However, the Great East Japan Earthquake of 2011 caused huge damage to the entire Japanese economy and transport in the Tohoku region. It entailed significant costs for the restoration of transport. Since 1990, the share of transport in GDP and the structure of goods transported by individual modes of transport have remained the same: road and sea coastal transport played a major role in domestic transportation, while maritime transport played a major role in international transport. The importance of rail transport in passenger transportation has been preserved and even increased. Transport fully met the needs of the economy and was one of the means of bringing the economy out of the crisis. The ocean of economic and natural shocks that befell Japan made the inhabitants of this country look in a new way at the prospects for the development of transport. The new strategy for innovative development provides not so much an increase in speed, but rather the reliability, safety and environmental friendliness of transport. Implementation of the achievements of the 4.0 revolution has become an urgent need. The entire economy of the country and its place in the world economy to a large extent depend on the pace of transition to a new model of transport.
