The article reveals the problem issues of development of transport communication links in the system of European integration policy of Ukraine.  In today's conditions of integration development, the role of transport is constantly growing not only as a means of transportation but also as a necessary condition for the development of social, in particular, economic, relations. Ukraine is in the system of transport networks connecting Western, Central Europe with the Eastern part of it, and also historically important in the conjunctions of the Baltic Sea and the Black Sea basin. Therefore, considering Ukraine in the system of European integration policy, it becomes clear that one of the important directions of development is the transport sphere itself. It is worth agreeing with the opinion of domestic experts that the sphere of transport itself plays a significant role in the economy of the country, mediating the process of exchange of goods both on the domestic and foreign markets. Modern trends in the development of vehicles, transport technologies, transport management provide an opportunity to significantly expand the geography of transportation, increase the volume of transport services and innovate approach to the development of own transport infrastructure. Innovative technologies in the field of transport contribute to radical changes not only in the views of trends in the development of advanced technologies, but also the real creation of new vehicles, or the embodiment of the ancient dreams of humanity to move on land for long distances at high speeds. One of these trends is Hyperloop - a draft of a kind of vacuum traction that was proposed by American engineers at the beginning of the 21st century. The project has already gained its commitment in many countries around the world: the USA, China, India, OAU, France, Germany, South Korea, Ukraine and other countries. On the one hand, such a project seems utopian, and on the other - its implementation will encourage new approaches in the transport system and the links between different regions and cities of the European continent in particular. It will also contribute to further deepening integration ties in Europe and the world by means of transport.

The article considers modern condition and development perspectives of transport at whole and the transport infrastructure of Ukraine. The basis of the country transport complex makes up its infrastructure, it joins manufacturing, users, suppliers and partners. Developed infrastructure affects not only effective and timely delivery of the products, but provides for decreased transport expenses. The beneficial geographical position of Ukraine, crossing the main transit ways between Europe and Asia, presence of active Black Sea ports, developed network of railroads, car roads and pipelines throughout the latitudinal and meridian directions create all predispositions for the transport branch development. The studies of the Ukrainian transport infrastructure and transport condition during last years evidence about non-stable dynamics, which is mainly related to economical and geopolitical crisis in the country as well as the COVID 19 consequences. Analysis of the freight transport by transport kinds shows increased volumes of car transport with decreased railway transport. The rise of the car transport share is connected to its advantages: mobility, possibility of delivery exactly to the destination, high speed of delivery, flexibility of the route choice, wide range of the shipment as well as provision of logistic services by cars. Exacerbation in the East has considerably decreased number of contracts between Ukrainian shipping companies and international partners related to the international transportation. First of all, the situation provides for decreased transportation volumes on the territory of Ukraine. The level of transport services to economic system and population of Ukraine is significantly lower than that one in the developed countries of the world. According to the car road characteristics, Ukraine has long been behind not only the countries of Western Europe, but many post-Soviet countries. A necessary condition of the effective development and managing crisis in the transport branch, particularly that caused by the COVID 19 pandemics, is development and modernizing transport infrastructure of Ukraine according to the modern technological requirements. This will provide for uniform development of all regions of Ukraine, improved population life quality, development of trade and tourism as well as creation of new economic opportunities by attracting foreign investment.

One of the key problems when ensuring the quality of life of residents of large cities of the world is to raise the transport services standards. Among the main aspects of solving this problem is the search for the optimal distribution of flows of personal and ground public municipal passenger transport. In this regard the planning, design, and localization of multifunctional transport interchange hubs (hereinafter – TIH) take on great significance. The experience of their arrangement has received wide acceptance in many countries of the world. In recent years Moscow has also been actively working on the design and construction of TIH; large-scale projects of transport infrastructure facilities construction are being developed. The TIH system should be capable of flexible response to changing transport needs of the population and to their realistic transformation to effectively ensure transport mobility of the population.The objective of the study is to test the passenger flow analysis methods and their application for simulation of the organization and planning of the transport interchange hub in a large district of the city, planning of the route network of municipal passenger transport.The route network of suburban and intercity transport of Northern Administrative District of Moscow has been reviewed. The passenger traffic within the TIHs Rechnoy vokzal and Khovrino has been analyzed.Based on the study, the authors propose to change the route network of ground urban passenger transport. The implementation of route network changing proposals can shorten the time spent on passenger travel and transfer. It is the authors’ opinion that the developed route network is more effective than the existing one and meets the design standards and requirements approved by local city regulations.

Transport is considered one of the key sectors in terms of economic development. The quality of transport services and transport infrastructure is essential for the growth of the economy, the regular production operations in other sectors of the economy, and the satisfaction of people’s needs. As a full member of the European Union (EU), Bulgaria is committed to adopt and implement all of its internal policies and regulations, including those in the field of transport. Over the last two decades, the Community's efforts have been directed at building a well-functioning single European transport area, a transport system that is competitive and at the same time satisfies the contemporary social and environmental requirements. Therefore, a number of legislative changes concerning all modes of transport (rail, air, road and water) have been made. They all have a certain effect for the sector on a pan-European and national scale as well as for its contribution to economic development.The main objective of this paper is to analyze the contribution of transport services to the economic development of Bulgaria. The analysis is based on statistical data from various sources, such as the World Trade Organization (WTO), the World Bank, Eurostat and the National Statistical Institute of Bulgaria. These statistics include the number of persons employed in the sector, the national GDP level, and the volumes of export and import of goods and services. The analysis covers the period 2005-2017, which includes years from Bulgaria’s pre-accession and post-accession period.The results from the analysis show that transport services are a substantial part of the services sector in the country. During the investigated period the actual volumes of both exports and imports of transport services are increasing, while in relative terms the trend is different. A substantial part of the employed persons In Bulgaria are engaged in the sector of transport services – in 2017 they were 210.6 thousand, or 6.7% of all employed persons. Comparatively, according to data from Eurostat, this sector in the European Union provided employment for about 11 million people in 2016, which is more than 5% of the total employment in the Union. The paper also discusses the European regulations concerning the transport sector and the benefits from its development.

The current state of logistic sector development in Ukraine, features of its formation and development, focusing on export and import of transport services according to their types are considered in this paper. The preconditions for the need to form an efficient logistics system of the national economy, which is be able to ensure the transport capacity of export-import and transit flows, are outlined. Factors that significantly affect the quality of the logistics market in Ukraine, including the imperfection of certain provisions of customs legislation, lack of transparency and openness of customs, deteriorating quality of transport infrastructure and the lack of simplified rules for determining the origin of goods are highlighted. The need for systematic analysis of strengths and weaknesses of the domestic business environment in determining the impact of various factors on the level and dynamics of competitiveness of the national logistics structure are substantiated, the effective strategy for its operation in the global competitive environment is developed. The volume of exports of services and imports of transport services of Ukraine is investigated by geographical structure and the models of trend indicators confirming the possibility of forecasting the volumes of transport services are built. It is proved that Ukraine’s disposition in the global economic dimension and ability to provide efficient logistics can be traced by its place among other countries in international ratings assessed by world organizations, analytical institutions and experts from the world using general statistics based on special social, economic and political indices. The share of export-import logistics services in foreign trade is investigated by types, structure and dynamics. The positions of Ukraine in the rating of Logistic Performance Index, which determines the state of trade logistics at the national and international levels, are analyzed, the main trends of its change are determined and the factors that cause such changes are identified. Problems of international transport and logistics systems functioning are revealed and the ways to improve the market of logistics services in Ukraine are proposed.

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.
