Conjugations of transport networks between southern regions of the Russian Far East and neighbouring countries

Abstract

All modes of transport are developed in the Far East region of Russia, namely: the railway, road, river, maritime, aviation and pipeline ones. The following groups of functions performed by regional transport are distinguished like provision of the intra-district, inter-district, foreign economic and transit links as well as the joints of various modes of transport, including those between land and maritime transports. The various types and spatial structures of conjugations of railway transport in the southern regions of the Russian Far East with neighbouring countries, PRC and DPRK are determined. The main connecting role in such conjugations is played by the trans-boundary links of the transport network and the pairs of cross-border transport nodes. Generalized assessments of conjugations between the different modes of transport in the Far Eastern region of Russia as well as the presence of conjugations of different modes of transport in the region with transport networks of neighbouring foreign countries, PRC, DPRK, USA and Japan, are given.
