IMPLEMENTATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL STRATEGIES IN THE FIELD OF MONITORING STATIONARY RAILWAY INFRASTRUCTURE FACILITIES: COMPARISON OF THE EXPERIENCE OF RUSSIA AND CHINA

Eryemina Olga Y., Lyubskaya Olga G.

The relevance of the topic is connected with the increasing intensity of cargo and passenger flows and the volumes of negative impact on the environment are growing. Railway transport is actively used in many countries of the world, while Russia and China are among the leading states with the most extensive network of railways. During the operation of railway transport, the air and water environment, as well as the soil cover, are polluted. At the same time, environmental monitoring is an important component of the environmental protection management system both at the state level and at the level of environmental strategies of specific companies. A comparative analysis of the approaches of Russia and China in the organization of environmental monitoring of stationary railway infrastructure facilities is carried out by the authors on the basis of: analysis of legal bases; characteristics of transport infrastructure facilities and parameters that are controlled; the main procedures in the environmental monitoring system are analyzed, which parameters are controlled, and the structural and functional monitoring scheme at stationary railway infrastructure facilities in Russia and China is analyzed.

Keywords:environmental monitoring, stationary railway transport infrastructure facilities, China, structural and functional monitoring scheme
