The applicability of foreign experience of organizing suburban rail transport in Russia

Filichev Grigoriy Andreevich

The article is devoted to the analysis of the applicability of foreign experience in the organization of suburban rail transportation in Russia. The author noted that in modern conditions of the functioning of the market and the development of public processes, railroad suburban transport has better performance than competitors, which makes it the most socially oriented and safe. In this regard, the industry should reorganize its work in a certain volume of transportation with the simultaneous implementation of measures that reduce the negative impact on society and the environment, which is typical for sustainable development. The author also focuses on the fact that the reorganization concerns, first of all, the administrative structure of the Russian railway. To implement the management functions in rail transport, foreign countries use various organizational models (organizational structures) of management or the form of distribution of functions between the links and the management structure, indicating the composition and mutual subordination of these links, which are studied in this paper. Taking into account the results of the analysis of the possibilities of continuity of the experience of foreign countries in reforming and developing mechanisms, methodologies and strategies for organizing suburban rail transportation in Russia, the author determined that the improvement of the existing system of domestic passenger traffic control in suburban communication can be implemented by: - development of scientific principles and research concepts for building management models; - theoretical and methodological approach to comparing different organizational models of passenger transportation management.
