ECONOMIC AND TECHNOLOGICAL BASIS FOR DEVELOPMENT OF ROLLING STOCK AND TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURE FOR TRANSPORTATION OF PERISHABLE GOODS

Abstract

Analysis of dynamics of market of perishable goods transportation by various characteristics, including departure railways, is given to determine the directions for development of rolling stock. Scheme for conducting studies of transport infrastructure for transport of perishable goods is presented. For the time being, problem was in economic and technological planes of research, and it included not only development of terminal complexes of railway infrastructure, but also the formation of a fleet of innovative isothermal rolling stock. Issues of economics of proposed innovative isothermal rolling stock are considered, allowing to implement the car of required configuration with given technical parameters, ensuring maximum degree of compliance of its consumer qualities with requirements of transport services market. Scope of possible use of different types of isothermal cars was analyzed.
