Выявлены проблемы функционирования железнодорожного транспорта в период пандемии, разработаны направления их решения путем развития мультимодальных перевозок. Основным научным результатом являются рекомендации по развитию мультимодальных перевозок с участием железнодорожного транспорта, сформированные с учетом текущих проблем и глобальных трендов развития транспортных систем. Обосновано, что устойчивое развитие железнодорожного транспорта возможно только при условии его интеграции в бесшовные транспортные системы регионов и городов.
The purpose of the study is to identify the problems of railway transport functioning during the pandemic and develop ways to solve them through the development of multimodal transportation. To achieve the goal, we use methods and instruments of statistics. The information base of the study was the materials of open sources, periodicals, as well as Internet resources, including data from the official websites of transport companies. The main result is the recommendations for the development of multimodal routes on the base of railway transport in concordance with current conditions and global trends in transport mobility. The study proves that sustainable development of railway transport is possible if it is integrated in seamless transport systems of regions and cities. The obtained results and conclusions can be used by the management of transport companies and regulatory authorities in updating the transport policy and strategies.
