Efficiency and main advantages and disadvantages of international transport corridors have to be understood for well-founded formulation of transport policies on Russia-wide and regional level. The paper presents characteristics of the most important international transport corridors which can form a basis for successful global economic integration of Russia, and will allow to efficiently convert transit functions of the state.

Keywords: international transport corridors, transport policy.

The paper is dedicated to the problem of integrated development of infrastructural frame of Western Siberian macro-region under the conditions of Russia’s globalisation. Special attention is paid to the co-ordinated development of the main pipeline system tied in to development of supporting transport infrastructure. An analysis of existing system of main pipelines, oil pipelines and product pipelines in the macro-region is provided, and directions for development of infrastructure, which ensure forming a network of international transport corridors and raw material export, are considered.

Keywords: gas pipelines, oil pipelines, infrastructure, strategy, export, development perspectives, Western Siberia.

The paper continues with the subject of developing a new technology for transportation of non-weighty freight in quick light-weight freight train sets (see: Transport of the Russian Federation. 2014. №2 (51). P. 47-49). Possible scenarios for modernisation of existing railway lines with the purpose of increasing their throughput capacity are considered. One of the directions for modernisation should be specialisation of lines by type of predominant motion: freight and accelerated (fast, high-speed) passenger transportation, as they are hardly compatible.

Keywords: specialisation of railway lines, throughput capacity.

In the course of research work, an urgent need for integration of local automated control systems for road traffic in St Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast was established, caused by the need to increase efficiency of their functioning on the borders of their areas of responsibility as regards developing justified and co-ordinated influences on traffic flow.

Keywords: automated control system for road traffic management, subsystems of automated control system for road traffic management, software, inter-centre interaction protocol.

Transportation process technology is based on co-ordinated interaction between train control departments, infrastructure and traction units, which ensures fulfillment of train movement schedule at the minimum amount of expenses. On line level, schedule fulfillment is to a large extent ensured by timely provision of locomotives and locomotive crews. On the other hand, glitches in station operation cause locomotives and locomotive crews to waste time on idleness. The paper is dedicated to a study of these questions and development of improvements.

Keywords: movement management, locomotive crews, depot.

The paper considers a system for managing a motorcar life cycle which allows for planning its useful economic life with consideration of factors such as safety, including environmental safety, and economic efficiency. Determining the expiration moment of a motorcar’s life cycle will grant an opportunity to estimate the overall number of motorcars due to be decommissioned and scrapped with a sufficient degree of accuracy.

Keywords: management system, life cycle, motorcar operation, quality, multiobjective systems, economic efficiency.

The paper studies statistically stable repetitveness over time (month, year) of parameters of circumstances of traffic accidents occurring. Tyumen traffic accident statistics for 2005-2012 are provided, processed by month parameter. Studies into auto-correlation of range levels allowed to come to conclusion in principle that such a stability exists indeed.

Keywords: road traffic accident, traffic accident circumstances, stability, seasonality, traffic safety management.
