The article presents an outline of the law governing railway transport in comparison with the regulations for road transport. The comparison shows that railway entrepreneurs are much more encumbered with legal obligations than road carriers, which in part is due to the specificity of this branch of transport. The essential constraints to the competitiveness of railway transport relate to the cost of access to railway infrastructure and its condition. The article also points out the faulty legislation, disadvantageous to both modes of transport, and attempts to determine the impact of legal solutions for the development of rail transport.

The article discusses the application of intelligent transport systems for railway transport. The purpose of developing intelligent transport systems on railway transport is to strictly comply with the requirements for ensuring transport safety, reducing the level of environmental impact, significantly improving the efficiency of production activities. The software makes automatic accounting, control and analysis of fuel and energy resources consumption on the basis of the obtained data. At the same time, the dynamics of changes in fuel consumption indicators, actual and estimated costs of diesel fuel are visually reflected in real time on the monitor screen. If necessary, the system will help to identify the reasons for non-matching of these parameters and quickly contact the locomotive team to provide qualified assistance in their elimination. It is important that the hardware structure and the structure of the system software expand functionality, providing continuous operation and repair work, increasing the number of measured parameters, creating a closed fuel consumption control system in a locomotive economy. The use of these systems makes it possible to obtain an integrated assessment of the heat engineering condition of a locomotive with further scientifically substantiated correction of overhaul runs, to control its location and solve many other problems, which contributes to an increase in overhaul runs and the operational life of the locomotive.

Urban mobility is a public service provided by a road traffic management entity. The customer receives access to the road infrastructure and a service of travelling in a city by a transport means of their choice. In the case of road traffic incident management, this issue is becoming increasingly important, as every traffic management entity should deliver a product that meets road users' requirements and expectations. A characteristic element of road traffic management is incidents generated by road infrastructure users that occur at each stage of traffic management. The paper presents the results of research carried out in the aspect of use of appropriate algorithms of traffic incident management on selected national roads, supported by research and scientific discourse on aspects related to telematics systems, with particular emphasis on Intelligent Transport Systems, in order to verify the effectiveness of the implementation of telematics solutions. The issues mentioned above are extremely important in view of the need to acknowledge the expected critical infrastructure. Principles and recommendations used in the selection and implementation of ITS applications become an important element in this respect. The research was used to verify the effectiveness of event management algorithms in road traffic, with different traffic volume and meteorological conditions. Empirical findings used in research allow for the analysis of changes in traffic parameters, such as vehicle speed, traffic volume and detector occupancy, on selected national roads, at specific intervals. This has made it possible to determine the prospects for the development of traffic incident management algorithms, which constitute a set of artificial intelligence methods.

Introduction. The paper substantiates the relevance of reducing costs for regular passenger traffic and increasing their reliability in relation to cities with city-forming enterprises. The organizational and technological specificity of the regular route network of urban transport in such cities is disclosed. The authors propose a method for organizing regular transportation routes based on a rational combination of basic routes that require boarding and disembarking passengers only at stopping points and backup routes with boarding and disembarking passengers in any place not prohibited by the rules of road traffic. The authors demonstrate route network optimization of the regular passenger transportation using the proposed economic and mathematical model and taking into account the costs of forming the infrastructure for organizing traffic on backup routes, operating costs of transportation, as well as the cost of eliminating failures in urban transport. The developed mathematical model for assessing the reliability of regular passenger transportation differs from the well-known models, which take into account the availability of backup routes in the regular route network. The research proves the practical implementation of the proposed recommendations by the example of public transport routes in Magnitogorsk.Materials and methods. The authors used the analysis of scientific and regulatory literature; economic and mathematical modeling of transport processes; methods for calculating the reliability of technical and transport systems; the statistical, technical and economic system analysis.Results.

The implementation of the strategy of re-industrialization of national economies is now the main trend in both Europe and Asia. In this context, railways are of great importance, as a mode of transport, capable of carrying large volumes of cargo and passengers with a sufficiently high speed. Special attention is paid to the innovative development of transport corridors connecting Europe and Asia to a single transport network. Mainly this paper is devoted to the financial aspects of the development of Ukrainian railway infrastructure, which has a significant transit potential. It is shown that underfunding of renewal of fixed assets of railways leads not only to the intensification of current problems, but to the formation of problems that will have a decisive influence in the future. The high cost of projects related to the innovative development of the railway infrastructure necessitates the attraction of private capital. The types of public-private partnership models as a mechanism for investment financing are considered. It has been determined that for the railway transport the most feasible are the BOT (build-operate-transfer) and BOOT (built–own–operate–transfer) models, which allow to ensure the innovative development of strategic infrastructure sites and maintain its integrity, by keeping it in state ownership.

The deepening of integration processes between the countries of Europe and Asia, the need for regular and mass passenger and freight traffic contributes to the increasing importance of transport systems. In this context, railway infrastructure, which ensures the uninterrupted operation of industrial complexes in many countries of the world and contributes to the development of international cooperation, acquires particular importance. This is also true for the railway transport of Ukraine, which is a connecting element between the transport systems of the EU, Russia and Asian countries. The paper substantiates that the sustainable functioning of railway transport is one of the necessary conditions for the development of national economies. The system of external and internal determinants of railway transport sustainability is highlighted. These determinants are analyzed on the example of railway transport in Ukraine. It is shown that external determinants form the basis of the functioning of railway companies, which also affects their internal determinants. Management of railway transport sustainability should be comprehensive, which will allow developing an effective set of preventive measures.

Introduction. Significant share of the costs for deep quarries is the cost of rock mass reloading from the “assembly transport” to the main transport make up a considerable proportion in open pit development costs. Portable handling systems with bunkers are used, the parameters of which are determined by several methods. Methodology. In this work, when determining the capacity of the bunker, two approaches have been considered: deterministic – transport systems operate at nominal conditions; probabilistic – transport systems operate with their inherent unevenness. The methodology adopted is based on the geometry of the bunker in the configuration of the “inverted obelisk”, as the most productive system. Formulas to calculate the technological and geometric capacity of the bunker have been proposed. The proposed method parameters design takes into account assembly (automobile) transport arrival rate, which is described by the Poisson distribution and railway transport arrival rate described by the distribution of Erlang. Several numerical examples reveal practical application for bunker parameters determination. 112 "Izvestiya vysshikh uchebnykh zavedenii. Gornyi zhurnal". No. 4. 2020 ISSN 0536-1028 Results. The significance of the required additional bunker volumes has been justified in order to make up for cyclic transport vehicles irregular operation within combined transport complexes.
