Research objective: studies of economic and transport infrastructure development in the Arctic and Northern Territories of Russia. Research methodology: analysis of transport infrastructure in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) and the types of railways used in Russia. Results: economic development of any region is proportional to the development of the road transport infrastructure and logistics. When a conventional railway is operated in the Arctic conditions, it is not always possible to maintain a cargo turnover that would ensure its efficient use, and transshipment from one mode of transport to another is very problematic. A new type of railway is proposed, i.e. a light railway. Conclusions: the proposed new type of transport offers all the main advantages of narrow gauge railroads (high speed of construction, efficiency, etc.) and helps to eliminate their main disadvantage, i.e. the need for transloading when moving from a narrow gauge to the conventional one with the width of 1520 mm, along with a significant reduction in capital costs.

Auto Regression

Infrastructure development is considered a key factor in promoting economic growth and attracting foreign investors for sustainable production and productivity. Conversely, inadequate levels of infrastructure constrain economic growth, a situation developing countries find themselves in. This requires the government to invest in infrastructure supplemented by external financing. This chapter, therefore, discusses how levels of infrastructure development affect economic growth in Ghana, since 1986 to date. The focus is on road transport infrastructure and its impact on economic growth under successive Ghanaian governments. Using the Cobb-Douglas production function and Vector Auto-regression (VAR) approach our analysis shows a positive relationship between infrastructure development and economic growth. This explains governments' improved allocation and expenditure on infrastructure development and maintenance in the 2000s. Ghana governments' attempts to plan and prioritize development of infrastructure, roads in particular, and create a culture of maintenance are targeted at raising the country's competitiveness and attractiveness to foster growth of all sectors of the economy.

Performance Based Contracts

The level of transport infrastructure development directly affects the rate of economic growth. In 2018, in Russia, 67.1 % of the total volume of transported goods were delivered by road transport. However, we cannot talk about the full realization of the road transportation system since 57.6 % of public roads do not meet regulatory requirements. The available statistics indicate that, first of all, attention should be paid to the condition of the roads. The article analyzes the system for road maintenance in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, considers the main regulatory documents governing the activities of road work suppliers and executive authorities in the field of road maintenance. The article examines and analyzes the advanced foreign experience in the field of technologies for servicing roads in the winter. As the result of analysis, the authors propose introducing performance-based contracts into the field of the road sector. The creation of an economically feasible form of performance-based contracts can lead to a decrease in the cost of road maintenance by 10-40 %.

Determinants Of Economic Growth

The level of transport infrastructure development is one of the key determinants of economic growth. In 2018, 67.1% of all transported goods in Russia were delivered via road transport. However, Russia’s motor transport system has yet to come close to fulfilling its full potential – 57.6% of public roads do not meet regulatory maintenance requirements. The prevailing statistics highlights the task of ensuring the safety of roads. This issue is especially relevant during winter months, when the roads experience maximum climatic and physico-chemical effects. This article analyzes the road safety system of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, considers the main regulatory documents governing the activities of road work suppliers and executive authorities in the field of road maintenance. The authors analyzed the best foreign practices in road maintenance policy. The main result of the study is the proposal to introduce a mechanism for servicing roads using a performance based contract to replace to cost based road maintenance contracts, which are the most widely applied in Russia.

One of the goals of developing a transport corridor is to promote socio-economic development by improving connectivity and sustainable transport operations, which largely depends on the operational strategy. Trade-off policies can be important tools for gaining the competitive advantage of road transport corridors, and thus, help facilitate sustainable growth and welfare. This article uses a case-based approach to observe the trade-offs in the first phase of transport infrastructure development, and then, in the second stage, further explores the trade-off variables in the transport operations strategy under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). The results from the three cases of the parallel route system of the CPEC indicate that trade-off is an easily understandable and applicable method, which can foresee the operational gains or compromises for significant welfare of the regions. The implications of the trade-off are two fold, first is the “importance” of the trade-off, which is related to its impact on operational competitiveness. The other is the “sensitivity” of the trade-off, in terms of the change that will be caused to one variable when changing the other. The trade-off concept can be used for several landlocked transport corridors to achieve a competitive edge in transit trade.

Introduction. The development of transport infrastructure plays a key role in the implementation of the state strategy to stimulate the economic development of the eastern regions of Ukraine. Among other things, the most important component is the network of state roads. Some of the roads damaged by the armed conflict in eastern Ukraine remain in poor condition. Problems. The armed conflict in eastern Ukraine in Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts has damaged and destroyed road infrastructure. This in turn has complicated and made road transport more expensive. As a result of the movement of large and heavy military equipment, most often moving in columns, on highways of state and local importance there are potholes, subsidence, destruction of the edges of the pavement, ruts. To improve the situation and bring performance to the relevant standards, a number of State target programs and projects were introduced. But some roads still remain destroyed and need funding for repairs and reconstruction. Purpose. The purpose of the article is to highlight the state and prospects of road infrastructure development in the regions that have been negatively affected by the armed conflict in eastern Ukraine. Materials and methods. During the writing of the article, dialectical methods of scientific knowledge were used to form a list of highways of state importance in the eastern regions of Ukraine, primarily analysis and synthesis. Empirical methods of cognition, such as description, measurement and comparison, are also used. Results. The paper highlights and characterizes the state of road infrastructure in the regions affected by the armed conflict in eastern Ukraine and reveals the prospects for its development. Conclusions. The need to finance the repair and restoration of roads that have not been included in the list of already approved and funded programs, and the formation of clear strategic directions may be provided by the Program of measures for restoration and development of public roads in Donetsk and Luhansk regions. Armed conflict in eastern Ukraine, taking into account the priorities of restoring and building peace, realizing the industrial potential of the eastern regions of Ukraine and the principles of development of the entire network of public roads of state importance of Ukraine. Critical for the implementation of this plan is the adoption by the government of a program for the restoration and development of public roads of state importance in the regions that have been negatively affected by the armed conflict in eastern Ukraine.

Classification Of Regions

The transport system is an important part of the infrastructure of the Russian Federation, the development of which contributes to economic growth and stability, guarantees the integrity of the state, national security and defense of the country, improves the life of the population, and brings the Russian state closer to the world economic level. The article examines the factors that influence the development of transport infrastructure in the region. Specific regional features and their significance in the development of transport infrastructure are identified, and a classification of regions and transport infrastructures is proposed. The relevance of the research topic is related to the fact that transport infrastructure is directly connected with the life support systems of the region, has a direct impact on the production sectors, and contributes to the effective functioning and development of the production sector. The purpose of the article is to study approaches and factors affecting the development of transport systems in the regions of Russia. Research methods: system, situational approaches, analysis and description of theoretical and methodological factors that determine the prospects for socio-economic development of the region based on the coordination of strategic goals of regional policy with the goals of transport infrastructure development. Results. The article considers different approaches, classifies the transport infrastructure of the region, and identifies specific factors that influence the development of the transport system. The analysis of the transport system of the Krasnodar territory was carried out and strategic directions for its improvement were determined. Conclusions. The results of the analysis have shown that despite the diversification of transport routes in the Krasnodar territory (water, rail transport), a significant share is accounted for by road transport. Digitalization is one of the most relevant and promising areas of development of the transport system. Intelligent systems will allow to provide innovative integrated transport services, depending on the constantly changing needs of the client. To improve the regional transport system, it is necessary to improve the types of road networks and develop a modern regulatory framework for the transport sector

Subject. Service infrastructure of road transport in the region. Research topic. Methodological approach to determine the target values of road transport service infrastructure’ development indicators in the regions of the North Caucasian Federal District. Purpose. To analyze and provide target values of development indicators of the road transport service infrastructure (RTSI) of the region, to propose possible measures to influence the factors of development of RTSI. Methodology. Logical, comparative, economic and statistical analysis. Results. The author has developed the algorithm and the methodology of the estimation of the indicators of regional RTSI. Possible remedies to influence the factors of RTSI development, which were specified and finalized, based on the analysis of programs and measures, conducted in the region, have been offered. Scope. Economic policy of regional authorities in the sphere of road transport infrastructure’ management. Conclusion. The proposed methodology and algorithm for assessing target performance indicators for the regions of the North Caucasian Federal District were tested. The regions of the North Caucasian Federal District were divided into three groups. For each group of regions were obtained target indicators to assess the effectiveness and control the development of RTSI in the North Caucasian Federal District, which ensure the preservation of the effectiveness of RTSI enterprises in the further development of the region. For the group of regions (Republic of Dagestan, Karachay-Cherkessia Republic, Chechen Republic), a lag in the values of the indicators of the sufficiency of the RTSI enterprises compared to the average forecast values for the federal district as a whole was revealed; the priority is to increase the «Number of RTSI enterprises per 1,000 vehicles». For another group of regions (Stavropol Krai, Republic of Ingushetia), the priority objective is to increase the «Total volume of paid domestic RTSI services to the population. For the group of regions - the Kabardino-Balkar Republic, the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania - a proportional increase in the values of all target indicators of RTSI development is required. The conclusion was made that the development of RTSI enterprises in the North Caucasian Federal District is not provided with a unified set of measures, RTSI cannot effectively develop within the framework of regional programs to stimulate small and medium-sized enterprises, and compete with enterprises of other activities, due to their organizational and economic peculiarities. It is needed to give more priority to the development of RTSI, the creation and implementation of regional target programs for the RTSI development.
