Economic assessment of the introduction of landfill technologies for railway transportation management

Aim. To formulate conceptual directions for the introduction of landfill technologies for managing transportation processes on the railway network; to systematize the economic effects generated during the transition to the landfill model of railway transportation management. Methods. Analysis of planned strategic documents for the development of the railway network, technical and economic analysis and modeling of supply chains, comparative analysis of projects of innovative solutions for the development of railway transportation, synthesis of provisions of the theory of transport and cyberphysical systems, theories of dynamic systems management, spatial macroeconomic planning. Results. The reference directions for the formation of polygons on the railway network as separate organizational units are identified, allocated according to the principle of implementing priority projects for the development of the mainline railway infrastructure; the economic effects of the introduction of polygon traffic management technologies on the railway network are systematized. Conclusion. The economic assessment of the introduction of landfill technologies for railway transportation management should affect the calculation of the values of the following types of effects: growth of the cargo base while ensuring the movement of cargo over long distances; acceleration of cargo delivery along the railway network; reduction of differences between operational and tariff cargo turnover; improvement of the quality of railway transportation planning; reduction of train downtime at technical and intermediate stations; rationalization of the use of traction resources in freight traffic; minimization of fines and losses of the carrier in case of violation of the terms of cargo delivery; the macroeconomic effect of rapid development of a large volume of cargo flows in the context of structural shifts in the cargo base by regions of the country and drastic changes in the geography of shipment of products.
