Abstract

In modern conditions, one of the key factors in the economic growth of any territory is an efficiently functioning infrastructure that determines the quality of life of the population and business activity in all sectors of the economy. Transport, which is the most important element of infrastructure, implies the need to constantly improve the quality of services provided to the population in order to form a single economic space on the territory of the country. The article discusses the methods of assessment and selection of transport infrastructure development projects currently used in Russia and abroad. The problems of applying the existing methods have been identified, which requires their refinement and improvement. The article proposes a method for multi-criteria assessment and selection of transport infrastructure development projects. It will contribute to the fastest and most effective achievement of the transport infrastructure development project goals in the regions and in the country as a whole. In addition, a mechanism for calculating the effects of project implementation on related industries has been determined. Methods for assessing the risk of project implementation are proposed. The scheme of the proposed method is presented, which allows monitoring the implementation of the project by checkpoints. The paper also presents an algorithm for multi-criteria assessment and selection of projects, demonstrating the possibility of practical application of the presented developments. The research on the basis of taking into account the interests of all potentially interested parties, solving systemic management problems (the absence of “manual guidance” and the introduction of a well-functioning selection mechanism), the clarity and transparency of the mechanisms developed allowed obtaining an adequate method and make the considered and selected project demanded and cost-effective on the market of transport services.

Highlights

  • An extensive transport network connecting regions located both at small and significant distances from each other helps to ensure the smooth functioning of all interconnected economic systems, and plays one of the main roles in the development of modern infrastructure potential

  • Regions that are in a more advantageous position in relation to the availability of resources and sales markets, as a rule, have a higher level of economic and, as a result, infrastructure development, which is confirmed by the main priorities of the Transport Strategy of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2030 that include the increase of the competitiveness of national transport, the development of freight and passenger traffic, as well as strengthening of the innovative, social and environmental focus of the transport industry development

  • On the basis of the developed method and the presented algorithm, the authors have tested the procedure for selecting projects planned for implementation on the territory of St

Summary

Introduction

An extensive transport network connecting regions located both at small and significant distances from each other helps to ensure the smooth functioning of all interconnected economic systems, and plays one of the main roles in the development of modern infrastructure potential. The lack of a single method for assessing and selecting transport infrastructure projects leads to the spontaneity of their creation in the absence of consistency in terms of the development of transport infrastructure in the country. These problems give rise to an increasing number of refusals to create projects at various stages due to lack of funding, change of political courses, re-qualification of projects into image-building ones and vice versa, etc
