Analysis of existing train lines and international railway transport corridors of Ukraine
Santrauka
In this paper, the characteristics of international transport corridors (ITC) with common technical parameters and ensuring the application of a unified transportation technology as the basis for the integration of national transport systems into the world transport system are given. The development of ITC and transit traffic may become a very inspiring factor for Ukraine to revitalize its position in the global economy. The question is to reach the required level of cooperation, at the appropriate time, which, apparently, has already come. The concept of the international transport corridor is one of the key determinants and requires definition, as in various works, this term refers to somewhat different concepts. The scenarios having different impact on infrastructure, networks, rolling stock, and financial problems are overviewed. Examples of high-speed rail network (HSR) routes for private traffic are presented. Due to the dramatic reduction in travel time compared to the current duration, the travel time of the HSR will be very competitive. This paper presents the duration of trips from Kiev, Kharkov, Odessa, Lviv and the Dnieper.
