Abstract

The article is focused on assessing the possibility of adapting the world experience of managing the transport corridor, including international ones, to the process of organizing and managing the Eastern railway polygon. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of the possibilities of implementing the corridor management principle on the basis of the Trans-Siberian railway in terms of competitive interactability with the railways of Europe, East and Central Asia in the framework of international transport construction projects. Conditions and prerequisites for achieving commercial return of transport construction projects and integration in terms of priority areas, types of cargo, types of rolling stock and the role of international transport integration in achieving the goals of socio-economic development of the regions have been revealed. It has been determined that the orientation to long-distance transport of bulk cargo hinders the implementation of the principle of corridor management on the Trans-Siberian Railway. It has also been proven that a vertically integrated structure with a network of unequal functional and territorial branches with fundamentally different goals hinders the possibility of ensuring non-discriminatory access to the railway transport infrastructure and specifically for intermodal transport operators. As a summary, the paper presents the key directions of improving the Trans-Siberian railway management and organization system to ensure competitiveness, obtain positive effects from the implementation of projects for organizing railway polygons, as well as effective integration into projects for the development of international transport corridors.

Highlights

Effective management of transport infrastructure means solving two main tasks in parallel: optimal resource allocation in terms of global value chains, as well as productivity growth that can be translated into all related sectors of the economy
We believe that the optimization mechanisms laid down in the structural reform in the railway transport industry have a limited impact on the multiplier effect and the growth of multifactorial productivity in the economy as a whole due to the wrong priorities between ensuring production and labor intensity in the task of productivity growth
The main purpose of this study is to identify the conditions for successful implementation of foreign projects to the experience of managing international transport corridors involving the Trans-Siberian railway

Summary

Introduction

Effective management of transport infrastructure means solving two main tasks in parallel: optimal resource allocation in terms of global value chains, as well as productivity growth that can be translated into all related sectors of the economy. To solve these problems, reformation pressure on the organization of transport operations and the principles of transport infrastructure management increases from time to time. The transport labor productivity growth is theoretically multiplied in related industries, which creates prerequisites for state interference in large transport infrastructure projects. We believe that the optimization mechanisms laid down in the structural reform in the railway transport industry have a limited impact on the multiplier effect and the growth of multifactorial productivity in the economy as a whole due to the wrong priorities between ensuring production and labor intensity in the task of productivity growth
