Heading:TRANSPORT. TRANSPORTATION

New solutions for the city’s transportation system in the expanding Nizhny Novgorod metropolitan area (in the order of discussion)

Annotation. The article examines theoretical options for new solutions to the passenger transport system in the upland area of Nizhny Novgorod within the context of an expanding urban agglomeration. The proposed layouts for new transit lines and transit hubs take into account the future development potential of ground rail transit, rail transport, the metro, urban and regional bus routes, as well as plans for the construction of new cable car lines.
Key words. Transport systems hubs, Nizhny Novgorod, city transport, transport hubs, regional development.

Economic efficiency of the formation and operation of high-speed container trains with operating speeds exceeding 90 km/h

Annotation. The article deals with topical issues of organizing high-speed container transportation on the railway network of the Russian Federation. The purpose of the study is to assess the economic feasibility of introducing a service of permanent-formation container trains with an operating speed of up to 140 km/h.
Key words. High-speed container trains, economic efficiency, feasibility study, route speed, net present value, tariff setting, railway transport, logistics, containerization.

Unmanned cargo delivery technologies in storage areas and in populated areas: current status

Annotation. The current stage of the evolution of logistics and transport systems is characterized by intensive intellectualization, one of the most notable manifestations of which is the use of various types of unmanned vehicles. The article examines the current state of the use of autonomous vehicles inside closed areas with limited access. The experience of door-to-door delivery to end consumers on the last mile by Yandex rovers and copters in an urban environment is considered.

Theoretical and analytical approaches to assessing aviation mobility of the population

Annotation. Four theoretical and analytical approaches to assessing the aviation mobility of the Russian population, differing in their data source and object of measurement, are summarized and described. The information reserves of the approaches to assessing aviation mobility are identified. A differentiated system of aviation-mobility indicators is proposed, enabling each group of information users to rely on a relevant estimate in management without expanding the data sources.

Analysis of the technical and economic efficiency and operational reliability of electric buses in the route passenger transport system

Annotation. The article presents a comprehensive study of the deployment and operation of electric route vehicles in a large urban agglomeration, using Minsk as a case study, in the context of transport decarbonization and the selection of onboard energy storage and replenishment concepts.
Key words. Transport system, electric bus, energy efficiency, charging infrastructure, Opportunity Charging, OverNight Charging, supercapacitors.

Intelligent logistics system for control of freight train traffic

Annotation. The study presents a hybrid artificial intelligence architecture for predicting the remaining travel time of freight trains, taking into account multiple factors. Experiments on a sample of 12 000 trains showed that the mean absolute error is 21–26% more accurate than existing methods.
Key words. Time prediction; artificial intelligence; hybrid models.

Increasing last mile efficiency by changing traffic patterns on city roads

Annotation. The development of freight delivery services in urban areas requires extremely high speeds, minimal mileage, safety, and cargo security. This challenge can be addressed by converting the traditional two-way traffic system to a one-way system under the same road conditions.
Key words. List mile, oneway trafic, time on route, velosity, mileage, efficientcy.

Impact of time features and high-cardinality categorical feature processing methods on the quality of arrival time prediction models

Annotation. The article considers the task of predicting the duration of a taxi ride and the time of order delivery as a special case of the task of calculating the estimated arrival time of ETA, which is of practical importance for taxi services, courier delivery and e-commerce.
Key words. Arrival time prediction, order delivery time, time features, high-cardinality categorical features, target encoding, frequency encoding, machine learning.

Intelligent logistics model for predictive railway maintenance

Annotation. This article examines the problem of increasing the reliability and safety of railway tracks by integrating artificial intelligence technologies into their maintenance systems.
Key words. Railway track, predictive maintenance, artificial intelligence, machine learning, defect prediction, infrastructure diagnostics, intelligent logistics model.

Fleet-as-a-Service concept in the age of autonomous technology

Annotation. The article reveals the essence of the Fleet-as-a-Service concept in the context of autonomous freight transportation, establishes its difference from leasing and freight forwarding contracts, and identifies its prerequisites. The components providing FaaS and advantages for the client and the service provider are systematized, and the result of the analysis is a business scheme of interaction between participants, revealing the architecture of interaction between the parties within the framework of the service model.
