Under the conditions of stagnation of world economy and limitations related to the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic, transport serves as a major factor of network interaction in economic space. Entrepreneurial approach to platform business models increases the role of transport in structuring the economy and forming inter-industry spatial connectedness of the country. The paper demonstrates that business model of management becomes the primary long-term competitive advantage in transport management.

The paper justifies economic feasibility and efficiency of introduction of digital customer relationship management systems in transport organisations. An analysis of degree of penetration of CRM systems in the Russian economy, including in the transport system, was carried out; sources of economic effect from introduction of CRM technologies in the activity of Russian Railways were systematised. The correlation between the growth indices of added value and penetration of digital customer relationship management systems is established; sources and directions of intensification of transport services added value from introduction of these systems were justified.

The paper proposes a method for evaluation of economic effect from cutting operational expenses for railway track maintenance as a result of detecting and removing from operation of cargo wagons with increased level of impact on railway track. Digital software and hardware platform Rubezh is considered as a means for detection of defects of faulty cargo wagons.

Mikhail V. Fedotov, head of diagnostics laboratory, Scientific Research and Design Technology Institute of Rolling Stock Vladimir V. Grachev, Cand. Sc. Eng., senior lecturer of the Locomotives and Locomotive Facilities department, Emperor Alexander I St. Petersburg State Transport University

The paper proposes a system for building a predictive system for diagnostics of self-contained locomotives using three types of models, analytical, diagnostic and forecasting. The possibilities for applying machine learning methods (intelligent classifiers) for building diagnostic models are considered. A method for increasing accuracy of diagnostics for the case of using multi-class classifiers and in condition of redundancy of basic data is proposed.

The paper provides a brief overview of application of segmentation neural networks for unmanned railway transport. Primary stages of optimisation of operation of a neural network model are presented on the example of U-HarDNet-70 architecture. Advantages of using this architecture in automated vision systems working in real time are explained. Main specific features of training this neural network are described. The paper provides data from results of an experiment in performance optimisation of U-HarDNet-70 model using Nvidia TensorRT accelerator.

Under the conditions of implementation of the projects of Moscow Central Diameters and high-speed mainlines, problems with passage of long-distance passenger trains may occur in the Moscow railway junction. This can be prevented by forming united rail terminals with strict specialisation of directions they service. The paper proposes a concept for organisation of the United Southern rail terminal on the basis of Moscow-Passazhirskaia-Paveletskaia station where the Kurskii, Paveletskii and partially Riazanskii directions’ trains can be rerouted.

The paper proposes a model allowing predicting the changes in the processes of business aviation flights’ ground handling operations under indefinite conditions of internal and external factors. Sampling analysis of these factors was carried out, their role in forming a prediction model for changes in the processes of ground handling of business aviation flights is justified. Internal and external factors involved in forming of model for predicting changes to the processes of ground handling of business aviation flights were analysed under conditions of their variable changes. Recommendations for enterprises providing ground handling operations for business aviation aircraft were formulated.
