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.
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.
Annotation. This paper examines the challenge of ensuring the sustainable development of regional aviation in Russia in the current context. It analyzes the strategic role of air transport in providing accessibility to hard-to-reach regions of the country. An analysis of the current state of regional aviation reveals systemic problems and the ineffectiveness of government subsidies, demonstrating funding growth outpacing passenger traffic.
Annotation. The article discusses the issues of ensuring spatial connectivity and increasing transport mobility of the Russian population in the context of changing directions of passenger traffic, their intensity, as well as partial closure of airspace in the using the example of the regions of the Southern Federal District.
Key words. Transport system, rail transport, spatial connectivity, population mobility, multimodal transportation, southern region.
Annotation. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the transformation of Russian civil aviation from 2015 to 2024. Particular attention is paid to changes that occurred after 2022 due to sanctions, the disruption of international relations, and reduced access to imported aircraft. The study examines the dynamics of passenger and cargo transportation, the evolution of the fleet structure, the development of the route network, as well as government support measures and import substitution programs.
Annotation. This article examines the role of digitalization in optimizing logistics business processes in the Arctic. Conclusions are drawn regarding the effective impact of modern technologies on reducing delivery times, transport risks, and logistics costs in the Far North.
Key words. Digitalization, Arctic logistics, optimization methods, transportation, logistics business processes.
Annotation. The article discusses the implementation of multimodal principles within the North-South corridor to meet the projected cargo flow. The goal of the study is to meet the growing volume of transportation and achieve efficiency in operational work.
Key words. Transport corridor, capacity, parallel route, transportation costs, economic effect.
Annotation. This paper examines the issue of aircraft import substitution in the Russian market under sanctions. It presents a rationale for the relevance of import substitution in Russia and analyzes statistics on domestic and foreign aircraft owned by Russian companies. Research on import substitution in Russia is reviewed. The experience of other countries in aircraft import substitution under sanctions is explored.
Annotation. The article highlights modern methods of managing transport activities in the North African air transportation system. It examines the importance of using digital tools for planning and monitoring the transportation process, implementing intelligent logistics, and managing passenger flows.
Key words. Air transportation, North Africa, management technologies, logistics, digitalization.
