In the last three years, in Russia’s transport industry staff training system specialist degrees have been abolished nearly everywhere. Education and Science Ministry ignores employers’ arguments about their need in holders of specialist degrees and not in bachelor or master degrees, which are seen as transitionary. The existing vertically integrated transport education system has not only proved its ability to survive the current crisis situation but also possesses the potential to solve staff issues in moments of economic growth.

The paper considers conditions for creating in Russia a network of motorways, inlcluding high-speed ones, strategy of their development and chief limiting factors. Direct economic losses from discrepancy between the level of development of motorways and economic requirements amount to as much as two to three per cent of the GDP annually, which demonstrates urgent need in creating such a motorway network.


Keywords: motorways, high-speed motorways.

Rapid development of transport infrastucture in the Arctic was set as a priority which would allow to integrate constituent parts of the Russian Federation in the Arctic zone into the country’s single transport system and economic space. The paper shows dependency of the possibilities for customs control of the transport flow passing through the Arctic zone on the quality of infrastructure of crossing points and adjacent territories.

The paper looks at the new strategy for development of civil aviation approved by the European Commission in December 2015. The strategy aims at development of EU economy, consolidation of its leading position in global markets and strengthening of industrial base. Strategy realisation will also contribute to lowering ticket prices which will positively affect population mobility.

Altai Territory has become the first pilot region following the Russian Federation State Council decision to switch transportation of heavy and oversized cargoes from motor transport to inland water transport. The paper discusses an agreement on co-operation in development of the region’s water transport infrastructure between the local administration, Ob basin inland waterways managers, and water-transport and extracting industries, which was enacted in March 2015.

The paper considers the issues of creating a mobile offshore airfield complex as an alternative to the land-based maritime and air transport systems. It is a conceptually new type of structure which can simultaneously fulfill the functions of base, air field and energy complex, significantly expanding possibilities for solving tasks listed in main programmes for development of the Arctic.

Logistics can be presented as a technology of managing network co-operation under the new economic growth model which corresponds to the 21st century demands of mobility of people and goods. The paper provides an analysis of air transportation as an important infrastructural asset ensuring new quality of global supply chains. Main trends in development of global and domestic freight air transportation market were considered, and conclusion of the need for development of airports as complex industrial and logistical clusters with shared translogistical platform was reached.

The paper considers the issues of managing aircraft flight safety from the position of theory of ultrareliable technical systems with discrete states defined in fuzzy subsets of an initial universal set of elements. It is proposed to evaluate risks of occurrence of critical conditions under which aircraft can get into catastrophic scenarios depending on combination of dangerous factors.

Creating a flight operations safety management system (FO SMS) is a mandatory condition for airline certicifation but FO SMS regulatory documents, including ICAO recommendations, only inlcude general requirements. The paper outlines a methodology for managing flight operations safety in an airline which takes into account values of forecast estimates of risks of fight accidents occurring.

At the moment, in Russian Federation’s civil aviation often occur disagreements caused by application of quality management and flight safety systems. The paper proposes an example of balanced system of flight quality and safety indices, and considers the dependency of the quality management system on the risk level at the air carrier.
