Transport infrastructure of Russia: International corridors and transport hubs

Abstract

The article provides an analysis of the state of transport infrastructure in terms of international traffic. It analyses the condition and development projects of transport corridors that run through the territory of Russia, as well as transport hubs that connect commodity flows with other countries. The article uses the methods of comparative analysis, correlation and observation. The article presents Russia's connection to pan-European transport corridors, the problems of the Northern Sea Route, the North-South transport corridor linking Russia with Iran, and possible options for bypassing the Caspian Sea by rail. The problems of the Trans-Siberian and Baikal-Amur Mainlines are presented. The state and prospects of transport hubs: St Petersburg, Vladivostok and Rostov-on-Don. Features of these hubs, as well as projects for their development. The analysis shows that for the Russian Federation, whose economy is based on the export of raw materials, the most important mode of transport is rail, which provides transportation of different types of goods, and has a certain degree of mobility, compared to pipeline transport. Eliminating bottlenecks in transport infrastructure will contribute to lowering the cost of cargo on world markets by covering the supply base.
