High-speed rail lines are amongst some of the most discussed infrastructural innovations in Russia. In the last two years, we have turned from arguments on the need for undertaking such projects to detailed discussions of practical aspects of building and operating infrastructure and rolling stock of high-speed railways.

Keywords: high-speed rail lines, transport system.

The paper analyses the influence of high-speed rail and air transportation on forming passenger flows. International experience and model simulation indicate that despite competition between these means of transport on directions connected by high-speed rail lines, high-speed rail and aviation efficiently augment each other in organisation of intermodal business.

As a result of joint work by specialists of industry-based higher education institutions, Russia’s leading scientific-research and design institutes and international companies, project-specific technical specifications for all high-speed rail line’s infrastructure objects were developed. Basic requirements include project-specific technical specifications for designing the Moscow to Kazan section of the Moscow–Kazan–Yekaterinburg high-speed railway line with train speed of up to 400 km/h.

Development of domestic methods and documents to regulate calculation of noise levels produced by trains capable of running at over 250 km/h is particularly urgent as plans are under way for launching Russia’s first high-speed railway line from Moscow to Kazan by 2018. The paper looks at basic engineering solutions which set out integral requirements for organisation of noise control measures for high-speed train movement.

Keywords: noise level, noise control measures, high-speed railway lines.

The paper presents supporting materials for passing norms and requirements for electrical power supply for high-speed railway lines being designed in Russia to facilitate train movement at the speed of up to 400 km/h. These materials were used in development of the project-specific technical specifications for the electrical power supply of the Moscow to Kazan section of the Moscow – Kazan – Yekaterinburg high-speed railway line.

Keywords: railway electrical power supply, high-speed rail line, electric traction network, traction substations, overhead contact system.

The paper outlines the justifications for Russian Railways JSC’s new strategy developed for reclaiming its market positions on the St Petersburg to Moscow line. The strategy is based on combining classic technologies for organising passenger services. Commercial viability of the St Petersburg to Moscow line, taking into account all the passengers’ needs for transportation and quality of services provided, is taken as the target parameter.

Keywords: clock-face scheduling, high-speed trains, passenger traffic.
