Currently, there is a radical restructuring of secondary vocational education in all spheres of industry production of the Russian Federation, in particular, in the railway transport industry, where special attention is paid to the development of highly qualified personnel potential. On September 1, 2022, the program of the Ministry of Education of Russia “Professionalitet” was launched, which included the railway industry. The main goal of the program is to organically connect the system of training highly qualified middle-level personnel with production industries, as well as to make training in vocational education programs less costly for the state budget.Nine leading educational institutions of the country, including the Perm Institute of Railway Transport, a branch of the Ural State Transport University, became the navigator of the federal project “Professionalitet” in the railway industry.At the Institute, “Professionalitet” included three specialties: 08.02.10 “Construction of railways, track and track facilities”; February 23, 2006 “Technical operation of rolling stock of railways (specialization locomotives)”; 27.02.03 “Automation and telemechanics in transport (railway transport)”. Equipment standards have been developed for each of the specialties.

Full textAbstract:
Changes in the Russian and global economies have been affecting all sectors. Neither the transport industry nor the construction one is an exception. These industries are budget-forming, and all participants in business processes should be interested in their strategic development. In order for the federal projects developed by the Ministry of Transport to be effective, a new project funding approach is required. Industries and companies have limited financial resources. The Russian Railways company is no exception due to its limited budgetary funds and own financial capabilities. It is necessary to develop effective mechanisms for funding railway infrastructure projects. Project funding mechanisms can be innovative ways of funding large-scale infrastructure projects, since they are based on a combination of banking, commercial and public resources. Project funding can unite financial resources and competences of project participants. In addition, qualified financial institutions will be involved in project funding transactions, which ensures the timely project implantation. Project funding mechanisms allow for a comprehensive project assessment, since the lender confirms the economic feasibility of the project. Project effectiveness evaluation has become relevant after the adoption of a strategy for the development of railway transport in the Russian Federation until 2030. Polygon technologies are promising for Russian Railways and used by the Trans-Siberian Railways.

The article deals with the study of the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the world economy. The impact on industrial production and particularly on machine-building industry of Ukraine is considered. The figures of freight and passenger cars manufactured by plants of Ukraine are given. The issue of importing old-aged freight wagons to the territory of Ukraine, which caused an overbalance of life-expired wagons, was considered. This has become a huge problem at such challenging times for domestic freight wagons manufacturers. The activities aimed at bringing the current technical condition of wagons with expired service life to normative condition, reducing the risks of man-made disasters, increasing the competitiveness of rail transportation and engaging the operators of freight cars in the purchase of new freight wagons manufactured by Ukrainian producers are proposed. The paper presents the results of the impact of quarantine restrictions on railway transport. The data on the drop in railway transportation caused by the pandemic in Ukraine and in the countries of the European Union, and the results of the comparative analysis are given. The volumes of the downfall in the production of freight cars and their reasons are analyzed, suggestions on the overcoming the crisis in machine building industry are defined, which will allow to resume the work of rail transport and related industries. This provides a real vision of the possible course of economic processes that will have an immediate effect on the standards of the social life. Key words: economic crisis, COVID-19, economic recession, industry, machine-building industry, railway transport, railcar-building industry, freight transportation, passenger transportation, EU railways.

Full textAbstract:
Alternative energy sources, mostly related to “green” energy, are one of the promising trends in the development of energy generation, including for the global railway sector. This is due, firstly, to its desire to preserve its environmental advantages by reducing carbon dioxide emissions into the environment and increasing energy efficiency, and secondly, to a reduction in the use of such sources as oil and coal as fuel resources in the coming decades.In a world where 95 % of motorized vehicles use oil as fuel, the greenhouse gas emissions per passenger-kilometer for rail transport are five times less than for road transport and 20 times less than for air transport. Therefore, one of the key tasks in the development of railway transport is the creation of high-speed highways that will serve as an alternative to road and air communications over short distances.In addition to the well-known alternative energy technologies, the railway transport traditionally conducts scientific research to improve energy-saving technologies, which include the use of excess recuperation energy when rolling stock braking.Also, projects for the use of renewable energy sources — heat pump installations — have proved their effectiveness in railway transport: heating switches from the ground, use of heat from compressors of hill complexes to heat electrical centralization posts and heat transformers of traction substations for its own needs.The role of alternative energy sources in railway transport is constantly growing. The efficiency of using alternative energy sources at the Russian Railways is largely determined by a scientific approach that allows, based on own experience or experience in introducing innovations in related industries, to determine the place, time and degree of their implementation, taking into account technical and technological features of production processes inherent in a particular structural unit companies. Among the innovative technical solutions in railway transport, the most priority ones are solutions aimed at the development of high-speed lines, recuperation systems, as well as heat pump technologies.

Background: The object of the study is regional and global cargo transportation. In order for cargo transportation to link the national economy into a single whole, and also allow it to realize its export opportunities, the level of organization of railway transport should be significantly higher than that of other market participants (primarily shippers and consignees).
Aim: to study the prospects for increasing the role of railway transport with the help of digital technologies.
Methods: To model the role of railway transport at the national and global levels, the article uses the concept of general organizational science by A. A. Bogdanov (Tectology). The Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ) is used to model the role of railway transport at the micro level.
Results: Railway transport is considered as a system consisting of subsystems: "working body", "transmission", "engine" and "computer". Each of these subsystems corresponds to separate divisions of railway transport. Digitalization involves the transfer from a person to automated systems, first of all, the functions of such a subsystem as a "working body", which functions according to the same algorithm and, therefore, is extremely routine. This simplifies and makes more predictable the production activities of the relevant departments of railway transport, which in turn creates the opportunity to increase the complexity of other subsystems.
Conclusion: Railway transport was originally created as a complex macro system based on the most advanced technologies and significantly ahead of other industries in its development. Because of this, he was able to dramatically increase the level of complexity of the territories that he reached. However, today railway transport is experiencing increasing competition from other modes of transport, and therefore qualitatively new measures are required from railway transport to ensure advanced development. To do this, it is proposed to apply digitalization to the process of physical movement of goods as a whole: from fixing the need for transportation from shippers to delivering goods directly to the production sites of consignees. In this case, the main competitive advantage of railway transport becomes the "computer".

Full textAbstract:
The article emphasizes that the study of economic history of individual regions, such as Siberia, is necessary to create a full-fledged understanding of regional social and economic processes thus providing a more complete perception of the country’s development as a whole. It addresses wage differentiation among three groups of workers in the Siberian Krai who were employed in mining and manufacturing industries, construction and railway transport in 1925–1929. The main sources of the study were two related statistical publications — “Byulleten’ statistiki truda Sibirskogo kraya” and “Byulleten’ statistiki truda i promyshlennosti” published in Novosibirsk in 1926–1929. Based on the construction of time series and their processing, the authors consider the inter-branch differences in the size of the average wages of industrial workers and discuss the relationship between the most and the least paid industries and the tendencies of its change. The difference in daily wages between unskilled (blue-collar workers) and skilled construction workers is also discussed. The differentiation of wages in railway transport is shown both by professional groups and in accordance with qualifications and field of activity. The authors discuss the salary of the railway administration employees and its correlation with other professional groups as well as the issue (in a cross-sectoral and intra-sectoral context) of whether there was a tendency towards equalization of wages in the second half of the 1920s.

Full textAbstract:
Transportation is one of the major energy consumption and carbon emission industries. Railway transport is a typical low-carbon transport. To accelerate the green low-carbon transportation development and improve the railway market share, this paper defines the concept of carbon saving profit to study the price of railway freight after the government functions were separated from railway enterprise management. First, taking full account of market factors and on the principle of utility maximization and maximum likelihood method, the sharing ratio model of transportation modes is established. Then consideration is given to both the profit of railway enterprises and social benefits, and income maximization model of railway freight based on low-carbon economy is established. The model can scientifically guide the transportation users who prefer to use resource-saving and environmental-friendly transportation modes, optimize transportation structure, and comprehensively improve the efficiency of transportation system. Finally, case analysis is conducted to verify the rationality and validity of the model, and reference for the rail freight pricing is provided.

The article analyzes the impact of the consequences of the quarantine measures introduction to counter the pandemic COVID-19 on the economy of Ukraine in general and the domestic transport machine-building sector in particular. It has been established that one of the most affected sectors of the economy is transport and mechanical engineering, in particular the railway transport sector. It is determined that at present a very relevant issue for the further development of domestic enterprises of transport machine-building and railway industry is the assessment of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the activities and financial and economic performance of these enterprises. The financial and economic indicators of such domestic enterprises of transport machine-building and railway industry, such as JSC "Ukrzaliznytsia", PJSC "KVBZ", SE "UkrNDIV", LLC "LEMTRANS" and LLC "KERNEL-TRADE", TDV "Popasnyansky Car Repair Plant" are analyzed. It was determined that the most affected of the studied domestic enterprises under the conditions of quarantine measures were JSC "Ukrzaliznytsia", PJSC "KVBZ", TDV "Popasnyansky Car Repair Plant". The main reasons for the decrease in technical and economic indicators at domestic enterprises of transport machine-building and the railway industry are studied by the method of expert evaluation. According to the analysis of expert evaluation data, the most important reason for the deterioration of technical and economic indicators of enterprises is the lack of state support and incentives for the development of transport machine-building and the railway industry in the country (19.6%). Experts estimate the impact of the consequences of the introduction of quarantine measures to counter the COVID-19 pandemic at 8.1%. Measures are proposed to improve the technical and economic performance of the most affected domestic enterprises of the transport machine-building and railway industries in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Full textAbstract:
Railway transport is the leader of the Russian transport market and one of the largest companies in the global transport sector. This powerful tool not only serves as a driving force for the development of many industries in the Russian Federation, but is also one of the criteria for assessing well-being and welfare of its citizens, which dictates the need for a detailed study of all aspects of the functioning of railway production. When considering the quality of the implementation of railway services, special attention must be paid to the internal quality system, namely, corporate culture, working conditions, quality of service, and a multi-level team management system. In modern rapidly changing socio-technological conditions of development of the transport industry, the efficiency and competitiveness of a railway transport specialist is determined not only by the quality of knowledge and skills in the structure of professional competencies, but also by a set of personal qualities that allow optimal ergonomic passage through the stages of socio-technological adaptation and further professionalization. A multifactorial analysis of “social competence” as a pedagogical category, from the standpoint of activity-based, personal, subjective, axiological, competence-based approaches, the study of regulatory documentation and conditions for the implementation of professional activities in transport, made it possible to determine the essence and structure of the social competence of railway specialists as an integrative quality of personality, the structure of which can be represented by a set of motivational, value, emotional, and communicative components. The choice of indicators (social initiative and activity, the ability to transmit generally accepted and intra-industry social values, empathy, tolerance, self-esteem, ability for effective communication, social mobility) in the structure of social competence is substantiated and the levels of their formation are determined. Situational and functional approaches to identifying the content of the main stages of socialization in the professional training of railway transport specialists made it possible to specify the psychological and pedagogical conditions for the targeted formation of indicators of social competence: incessancy and continuity in the development of a block of socially oriented disciplines; practice-oriented educational process; active learning methods; design technologies; formation of an active subject position of students

Full textAbstract:
The Swedish bus and railway sectors have been recognised as important early cases of regulatory reforms that led to both vertical and horizontal disintegration as well as market-opening. This thesis investigates the origin and evolution of these reforms from 1979 to 2009, focussing on the markets for passenger services. The aim is to improve our understanding of the background, resulting nature, and consequences of these regulatory reforms. A combination of qualitative and quantitative analyses has been applied; e.g. the thesis makes use of a unique database of longitudinal industry statistics. This thesis shows that the origins of the Swedish reform process were internal and largely unrelated to any objectives of deregulated market-opening. However, a combination of the nature of the initial reforms, the behaviour of market actors, and certain key events accidentally sparked a trend towards deregulation, which has had profound effects on market structure and performance. The step-by-step evolution, in particular the introduction and expansion of competitive tendering, is shown to have had path-dependent characteristics. Swedish competitive tendering of bus and railway services has had important effects on costs and subsidies, but has also generated the problematic behaviour of strategic bidding. Included within are detailed articles which make additional contributions to relevant theories and offer normative advice concerning the design and implementation of regulatory reforms in these as well as other sectors.

Esta dissertação pretende contribuir para um melhor conhecimento da complexidade das
redes de transferência de conhecimentos e técnicas, no domínio da engenharia civil e
mais concretamente através dos caminhos-de-ferro, nos séculos XIX e XX.
Em Portugal, os caminhos-de-ferro estiveram no cerne de um vasto debate, sobretudo
político, concomitante com uma instabilidade crescente no cenário político e uma
fase de fragilidade económica.
É neste contexto que a Linha do Sul e Sueste vai ser construída (seguida pela sua
extensão até Vila Real de Santo António e pela construção do ramal de Portimão, que
chegará a Lagos).
Este empreendimento é uma clara ilustração da realidade portuguesa de então, no que
concerne ao desenvolvimento desta rede de transportes, que nos permite, igualmente,
conhecer e compreender quem interveio no processo de construção da linha (os
engenheiros, as empresas, entre outros aspectos) e assim determinar quais as
influências e transferências técnicas que tiveram lugar; RESUMEE: Cette mémoire attire à la contribution pour une meilleure connaissance de la complexité
des réseaux de transfert de techniques et connaissances qui ont eu lieu dans le

Au Portugal, les chemins de fer sont été le cerne d’un très vaste débat, coïncidant avec
une croissante instabilité dans le scenario politique et aussi une phase économique
fragile. C’est dans ce contexte que la Ligne du Sud et Sud-est va être bâti (suivi par
l’extension jusqu’à Vila Real de Santo António et la construction de
l’embranchement ferroviaire Portimão).
Cette entreprise c’est une illustration claire de la réalité portugaise, en concernant
l’implémentation de cette réseau de transport, que nous permettre de comprendre et
également bien connaitre qui a intervenu dans le processus de construction de la
ligne (les ingénieurs, entreprises, etcetera), ainsi que déterminer les influences et les

the complex network of technique’s and knowledge transfers, that took place within
the field of civil engineering, in the 19th and 20th centuries, namely on the railways.
In Portugal, railways take-up was a wide and ample debate, coinciding with an uprising
turmoil on the Portuguese political outskirt and a phase of economic frailty. It’s in
this context that the construction of the South and Southeast Line took place
(followed, later on, by its extension until Vila Real de Santo António and by the
construction of the Portimão’s branch).
This enterprise is, as we pretend to prove in this master’s thesis, a clear example of the
Portuguese reality, enabling us to understand and to get to know those who
intervened in the construction’s process (the engineers and the companies) as well as

Full textAbstract:
La première partie de ce travail concerne la production cyclique pour l'optimisation du taux de production dans les flowshops robotisés, où un robot est chargé du transport des pièces. Les cellules robotisées peuvent être disposées de façon linéaire ou circulaire. Les principaux résultats théoriques concernant la disposition linéaire ne peuvent être étendus à la configuration circulaire. En particulier, trouver le meilleur cycle de production de une pièce (1-cycle) est un problème polynomial dans le cas des cellules linéaires additives, mais NP-difficile pour la configuration correspondante circulaire.Nous nous concentrons principalement sur le cas des cellules circulaires équilibrées, où le temps d'usinage est identique sur toutes les machines. Après avoir présentés des outils pour l'analyse cyclique dans les cellules circulaires, nous établissons des propriétés nécessaires des 1-cycles performants, ce qui permet de conclure sur le problème du meilleur 1-cycle jusqu'à 8 machines. Toutefois, nous fournissons un contre-exemple pour 6 machines à la conjecture classique des 1-cycles, toujours ouverte dans cette configuration.Ensuite, nous étudions la structure des 1-cycles performants pour des cellules circulaires équilibrées arbitrairement grandes. Nous définissons et étudions les propriétés d'une nouvelle famille de cycles basée sur cette structure et formulons une conjecture sur sa dominance sur les 1-cycles qui conduirait à un algorithme polynomial pour le problème du meilleur 1-cycle dans ce cas. Cette structure permet de déterminer le meilleur 1-cycle jusqu'à 11 machines.Dans la deuxième partie, nous présentons le travail réalisé sur un problème industriel proposé par la SNCF dans le cadre du challenge ROADEF/EURO. Nous proposons un algorithme glouton pour ce problème combinant divers aspects de la gestion des trains au sein d'une gareThe first part of this work deals with cyclic production for throughput optimization in robotic flow-shops, where a robot is in charge of the material handling of parts. Robotic cells may have a linear or a circular layout. Most theoretical results for the linear layout do not hold for the circular layout. In particular, the problem of finding the best one part production cycle (1-cycle), which is a polynomial problem for linear additive cells, has been proved NP-hard for the corresponding circular configuration.We mainly focus on a special case of circular balanced cells, where the processing times are identical for all machines. After presenting tools for cyclic analysis in circular cells, we study necessary properties of efficient 1-cycles. These results allow to conclude on the best one part production cycle for any parameters in circular balanced cells up to 8 machines. However, we provide a counter-example to the classical 1-cycle conjecture, still open for this configuration.Then, we study the structure of efficient one part production cycles in arbitrarily large circular balanced cells. We introduce and study a new family of cycles based on this structure, and formulate a conjecture on its dominance over one part-production cycles, which would lead to a polynomial algorithm for finding the best 1-cycle for circular balanced cells. This structure allows to settle the best one part production cycle for cells with up to 11 machines.In a second part, we present work on an industrial problem of railway stock scheduling proposed by the French railway company in the context of the ROADEF/EURO competition. We propose a greedy algorithm for this problem combining the various aspects of trains handling inside a station

Full textAbstract:
Les marges de progression pour le système ferroviaire français et européen restent nombreuses tant du point de vue de la gouvernance que de la compétitivité. C’est la conclusion à laquelle tend ce travail. Les résultats du consortium de recherche Enerdata-LET (2014) montrent que dans le respect du facteur 4 à horizon 2050, le report de la demande en transport vers le ferroviaire pourrait être massif. Face à cela, la situation de la LGV Paris-Lyon, déjà à la limite de la saturation, interroge sur la capacité du système à accueillir de nouveaux trafics. Deux écoles s’affrontent sur cette question. D’un côté, les tenants du SNIT proposent un quasi doublement du réseau LGV pour répondre aux futurs besoins tandis que la commission « Mobilité 21 » privilégie la recherche de rendements croissants à partir de l’existant. Sans prétendre résoudre le débat, ce travail tente d’apporter des éléments de compréhension sur l’interaction entre demande et offre dans le ferroviaire.L’étude de la concordance entre augmentation de la demande et offre ferroviaire nous mène à poser la question de la performance. Elle sous-entend d’être en premier lieu capable de définir la capacité d’une infrastructure ferroviaire. En second lieu, la mise en évidence de limites conduit à interroger le phénomène de saturation ou congestion. Enfin, interroger la notion de saturation mène inévitablement à mettre en perspective la relativité des limites et à poser la question de leur dépassement.L’objectif de cette recherche est d’appliquer cette problématique au système ferroviaire en tenant compte de ses spécificités. On tient compte de sa constitution en tant qu’industrie de réseau et de monopole naturel dans le cas de l’infrastructure (gestionnaire d’infrastructure). Sans prétendre trancher le débat sur le mode de gouvernance, on considère que cette particularité peut influencer le comportement des acteurs et indirectement la performance du système. On considère également l’évolution législative du système au niveau européen. On ne peut aborder la question de la performance sans resituer le secteur dans son contexte juridique. Enfin, l’essentiel de l’analyse repose sur l’étude de la saturation de la LGV Paris-Lyon. On considère cette LGV représentative de la performance souhaitée pour le réseau ferroviaire français. Elle concentre à la fois les défis techniques et économiques de la capacité qui constituent le cœur de notre réflexion sur la performance, ses conditions et les marges de progression du réseau françaisThere is still much progress to make concerning the French and the European railway networks, both from governance and competitiveness standpoints. This is the conclusion this work lead to. The results from the Enerdata-LET research consortium (2014) illustrate that, considering factor 4 for horizon 2050, the modal shift of demand in transport towards railway could be massive. Regarding this, the situation of Paris-Lyon high-speed line, already up to its saturation level, addresses the issue of the capacity a system possesses to bear new traffics. Two schools oppose there. On one side, the supporters of the SNIT suggest a quasi-doubling of the high-speed railway network, in order to cope with futures needs, whereas on the other side, the “Mobilité 21” commission gives priority to the search of increasing returns from the existing infrastructure. Without claiming to solve the issue, this work attempts to bring up comprehension elements on the interaction between demand and offer in the railway sector.Studying the accordance between an increase in railway demand and offer leads us to question performance. It means being able to define capacity of the railway infrastructure, first. But it also means questioning its limits, which addresses the phenomenon of saturation, also called congestion. Eventually, this all inevitably leads to put into perspective the relativeness of these limits and to question the ways to overcome them. The objective of this research is to apply this issue to the railway system, accounting its specificities. We consider its constitution as a network industry and as a natural monopoly, when considering the infrastructure (infrastructure manager). Without pretending to conclude the debate on governance, we consider that this particularity might influence actors and, thus, performance. We also consider the legal framework at the European scale. One can’t question performance without framing the railway sector within its legal context. Then, the main purpose of the analysis stands in the study of saturation of the Paris-Lyon high-speed line. We consider the line as representative of the expected performance level of the whole French railway network. It challenges both technical and economic capacities that are in the core of our rationale on performance, its requirements and the opportunities of the French network

Réformes des chemins de fer en Europe : la régulation en complément des mécanismes de marché Afin de trouver un nouveau dynamisme, l’Europe des chemins de fer a entrepris d’importants changements visant in fine à introduire une pression concurrentielle dans un secteur précédemment dominé par des monopoles étatiques.A l'instar des changements ayant eu lieu dans les autres industries de réseaux, la gestion en amont des infrastructures - considérée comme un monopole naturel - a été séparée du marché aval des services ferroviaires, considéré lui comme contestable, c’est-à-dire propice à l’introduction de la concurrence.Néanmoins l’expérience de réformes similaires nous rappelle que les marchés découlant d’une telle réorganisation doivent être manufacturés et ne se forment pas spontanément.Dans cette thèse, nous capitalisons sur cette période de changements afin d’analyser comment une telle transition se réalise. Plus spécifiquement, en appliquant le cadre développé par la Théorie de la Firme, les défis liés à la séparation verticale et au besoin de coordination sont examinés. Puis en s’appuyant sur les outils de la Théorie de l’Agence, nous étudions les implications dé-13coulant de l’introduction d’appels d’offres dans la délégation de service public pour le transport régional de voyageur. Au long de la thèse, l’accent est mis sur le rôle de la régulation et sur les remèdes qu’elle peut offrir aux écueils rencontrés.Le chapitre 1 analyse comment les réformes ont été conçues à travers l’Europe.Car en pratique la mise en oeuvre de cette nouvelle stratégie ferroviaire varie grandement d’un pays à l’autre à plusieurs niveaux, tels que la structure verticale,la régulation ou encore la libéralisation du secteur aval, engendrant d’importants débats sur les mérites respectifs de chacune de ces options. Cette pluralité interroge également sur les motivations sous-jacentes à chacun de ces choix. Et bien que la littérature économique aborde ces motivations, les études empiriques précédentes ne les prennent pas en compte quand il s’agit de comparer les différentes formes verticales. De ce fait, l’endogénéité peut venir biaiser les résultats des estimations économétriques. Ayant construit une base de données couvrant les quatre années entre 2009 et 2012 pour 25 pays européens, nous appliquons la méthode des doubles moindres carrées (2SLS)pour obtenir une estimation non-biaisée des effets de chacune des dimensions précédemment évoquées. En particulier, nous trouvons que l’endogénéité crée effectivement un biais qui péjore les effets mesurés de la séparation verticale.Le chapitre 2 s'appuie sur le cas du secteur ferroviaire français pour illustrer une des répercussions souvent sous-estimées de la séparation verticale, celle des coûts de coordination. Nous développons un modèle expliquant pourquoi la coordination peut aboutir à des résultats inefficients dans un secteur ferroviaire où les firmes doivent s'engager ex ante sur les quantités. Nos résultats indiquent qu’une régulation crédible peut permettre de surmonter les limites de la séparation verticale pour le gestionnaire d’infrastructure. Cependant dans un marché qui n’est pas suffisamment flexible, il devient plus dur au fur et à mesure que le marché aval s’ouvre à la concurrence de soutenir une production importanteIn an objective to revitalize the sector, railways in Europe have gone through changes in order to introduce competitive forces in an industry previous lydominated by state monopolies. Not unlike what occurred in other network industries, the upstream management of infrastructure -considered a natural monopoly- was separated from the downstream market of train services which was deemed contestable. But the experience from previous reforms shows that the markets stemming from this new organisation are made and don’t necessarily just happen.This dissertation preys on those changing times to analyse how such transition can be achieved. More specifically, it uses the framework developed by the Theory of the Firm to investigate some of the challenges that have risen to investigate some of the challenges that have risen from this new organisation due to vertical separation and the need to develop coordination. Then using the tools developed by Agency Theory, the dissertation investigates the introduction of tendering in public procurement for rail services.Throughout the analysis, an emphasis is put on finding how regulation can provide a remedy to the identified challenges. In chapter 1, we review how the reforms were designed in Europe. It highlights that there was very various applications across countries on several dimensions such as the vertical structure, regulation or downstream competition, triggering debates on the relative merits of each option.relative merits of each option.Furthermore this plurality questions the motivations behind these choices. And although those motivationsare brought up in the literature, the previous empirical studies do nottake them into account when comparing the relative performance of one form against the other. In such a case, endogeneity might come and biased the results of econometric regressions. Having constructed a database covering four years between 2009 and 2012 in 25 European countries we use a two-stageleast-square model to obtain an unbiased estimate of the effects of the abovementioned dimensions. In conclusion, we find that endogeneity does create abias, in particular when measuring the merits of full separation. Chapter 2 builds on the French rail sector’s example to shed the light on the crucial and understudied impact of coordination costs, one of the drawbacks arising with separation in the sector. We develop a model explaining why inefficient outcomes may arise in the railway sector when vertically separated firms have to commit ex ante on quantities. Our results indicate that credible and effective price regulation can overcome the limits of separation on the infrastructure side. On the other hand, if the market is not flexible enough, it may become harder, as the downstream market is becoming more competitive, for train operators to make optimistic production forecasts

La spécification d’un système industriel nécessite la collaboration d’un ingénieur connaissant le système à modéliser et d’un ingénieur connaissant le langage de modélisation. L'utilisation d'un langage de spécification graphique, tel que les ASTD (Algebraic State Transition Diagram), permet de faciliter cette collaboration. Dans cette thèse, nous définissons une méthode de spécification graphique et formelle qui combine les ASTD avec les langages Event-B et B. L’ordonnancement des actions de la spécification est décrit par les ASTD et le modèle de données est décrit dans la spécification Event-B. La spécification B permet de vérifier la cohérence du modèle : les événements Event-B doivent pouvoir être exécutés lorsque les transitions associées doivent l’être. Un raffinement combiné des ASTD et d’Event-B permet la spécification incrémental du système. Afin de valider son apport, la méthode de spécification a été utilisée pour la spécification de cas d’étudesSpecifying industrial systems requires collaboration between an engineer that knows how the system works and an engineer that know the specification language. Graphical specification languages can help this collaboration. In this PhD Thesis a method is defined that combines ASTD (Algebraic State Transition Diagram), a formal graphical notation, with B and Event-B langagues. The ordering of actions is specified using ASTD and the data model is specified using Event-B. B specification is used to verify the consistency of the model : Event-B events have to be executed when the corresponding transitions have to be executed.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse porte sur la question de l’intégration de l’espace ferroviaire européen, à partir d’une approche centrée sur les relations professionnelles communautaires qui se sont développées depuis le milieu des années 1980 entre représentants des salariés, des employeurs et des institutions publiques dans ce secteur. En s’appuyant surl’analyse de documents et de bases de données publiques, sur une enquête de terrain par entretien et par observation et sur le dépouillement d’archives, elle adopte une perspective sociohistorique sur ces évolutions, qui prend pour pivot l’analyse des activités du comité de dialogue social européen « chemins de fer ». Dans une première partie, nous soulignons que les évolutions du dialogue social « chemins de fer » ne peuvent pasêtre comprises indépendamment de la dynamique du dialogue social européen interprofessionnel, qui a notamment participé à la transformation du cadre institutionnel du dialogue social sectoriel et influé sur la nature des produits et sur les thématiques abordées par les acteurs du rail. Dans une seconde partie, nous montrons cependant que les activités les plus significatives dans ce secteur s’articulent à l’enjeu de l’intégration ferroviaire européenne, qui constitue l’un des objectifs clés de la politique européenne des transports. Elles aboutissent à la fois à une mise en débat des orientations générales de cette politique et à des activités participant à la construction d’un espace ferroviaire européen plus intégré : les acteurs ont ainsi participé à l’élaboration d’une législation communautaire dans le domaine de la certification professionnelle des cheminots mobiles (« permis de conduire » européen) et ont mené plusieurs initiatives marquant l’émergence d’une négociation collective européenne. Le développement de l’interopérabilité technique et économique du système ferroviaire a donc débouché sur la construction d’une interopérabilité sociale. Les acteurs européens sont ainsi parvenus à construire le niveau communautaire du système de relations professionnelles européen qui émerge actuellement dans le railThis PhD thesis deals with the integration of the European railway area in a perspective of industrial relations’ analysis. Based on a field survey by interview and observation and on analysis of public documents and archives, it adopts a socio-historical perspective, centered on the activities of railway sector’s European social dialogue committee. In a first part, we underline that “railways” EU social dialogue’s evolutions have to be understood in the light of interprofessional European social dialogue’s dynamic, as it has influenced the shaping of sectoral dialogue’s institutional framework as well as the nature of products and themes addressed in the railway sector. In a second part, we show however that the most significant activities in this sector are related to integration of European railways, one of EU railway policy’s key objectives. Industrial relations’ actors have both discussed the general orientations of this policy and taken part to the process of building an integrated railway area in Europe: they have participated to shape EU legislation on mobile railway workers’ professional certification(European “driving licence”) and have managed to conduct successfully in their sector Europeancollective bargaining processes. The development of technical and economical interoperability of EUrailway system has therefore led to the building of social interoperability. EU level actors have thusmanaged to build the community level of a European industrial relation system, currently emerging in the railway sector

Full textAbstract:
This thesis Construction of the Single European Railway Area: Reforms of railway sector in the Czech Republic 2004-2014 deals with the europeanisation of the Czech railway policies through the lens of four subjects - government, regional governments, Czech railway and private railway companies. The work puts the issue of the European railway reform into the perspective of the concept of network industries liberalisation. The Czech Republic joined the European Union in 2004 and therefore had no chance in influencing its foundation. The thesis attempts to investigate the ways in which the EU affected the Czech railway environment and, simultaneously, if some kind strengthening of actors supporting liberalisation took place. The work concluded that although these actors have been strengthened, the railway market in passenger transport hasn't been created. As the work demonstrates, this was caused mainly by insufficient institutional and adjustment ability of the state that hasn't been able to successfully finish any public tenders. In the regions, the situation is similar - in 2009, a ten- year memorandum on operating of regional transport by Czech railways has been passed. Besides, each region has a different transport policy and the government will probably try to handle.

Ao longo da história do crescimento das cidades, factores impulsionadores de
desenvolvimento, como a indústria, a implementação de redes ferroviárias e viárias, a
localização de estruturas como portos e aeroportos, entre outros, condicionam essa
mesma evolução.
Luanda não foge à regra, sendo uma cidade portuária, voltada para o mar e com
ligação para terra. Desde cedo foi alvo de cobiça e conquista dos colonizadores.
Desenvolveu-se sobre a sua orla marítima, e teve desde sempre o comércio e o mar
como forma de atractivo, que levou a que logo cedo ganhasse uma estrutura urbana.
Nessa estrutura era clara a divisão entre a cidade alta (mais organizada da cidade) e
cidade baixa (área em que dominavam as actividades económicas).
A cidade crescia, assim como os seus problemas. Tornava-se urgente a sua
modernização, pois com a independência do Brasil, Angola passaria a principal colónia
Portuguesa. Neste quadro, acções associadas a ideias de progresso começam a ter
forma. Actividades comerciais ligadas à importação e exportação de produtos,
necessidades em transportar a população com maior rapidez, etc., reflectem-se na
introdução de meios de transporte, caso Expressivo dos caminhos-de-ferro, que numa
primeira fase circulava apenas por Luanda, e posteriormente chegou a província de
Malanje.
A indústria também acompanhou este processo, consequentemente a cidade crescia,
e a afluência de pessoas era cada vez maior. O que potencializava o crescimento de bairros com poucas condições de habitabilidade, agravando de uma maneira geral a
imagem e a estrutura da cidade, e colocando em causa o crescimento urbano de
Luanda sobre bases sólidas.
Sobre a mesma surgiu o porto, o aeroporto, e vias estruturantes que asseguravam a
ligação da cidade a outros pontos do país.
Era a modernidade que chegava pelos desígnios da indústria. Porém, com a indústria
não chegou apenas modernidade, chegaram também formas de instalação mais
precárias como os musseques que marcavam o outro quadro que a cidade vivia. Uma
realidade não tão bela, nem tão aprazível, Era a realidade de Luanda que se escondia
atrás de prédios altos, de bairros luxuosos, e acoplando, de forma quase iníqua, as
grandes infra-estruturam que aqui estudamos.
E viu-se ao longo do tempo o crescer e o prolongar desses musseques,
acompanhando a linha férrea, as principais vias a cidade, junto ao porto e ao
aeroporto da cidade. É a presença destas infra-estruturas em ambiente urbano que
propomos aqui analisar.Throughout cities' growth history, factors enhancing the development, such as industry, the implementation of railroads, the location of structures such as ports and airports, among others, affect the same evolution. Luanda is no exception, being a port city, facing the sea and connected to earth. Soon became attention and target for the achievement of colonizer . Developed on its waterfront and has always had the trade and the sea as a way of attraction, which led to early gain of an urban structure. In this structure it was clear the division between the upper city (more organized city) and lower city (area where most of economic activities took place). The city grew along with its problems. It became urgent to modernize the city, due to Brazilian independence, Angola would become the main Portuguese colony. In this context, actions related to progress ideas begin to take place. Business related to import and export of goods, needs to transport the people faster, etc., are reflected in the introduction of means of transportation as an example railroad, which initially only circulated in Luanda city and later came to the province of Malanje. The industry was also a part of this process, consequently the city grew, and the influx of people also increased. This allowed the neighborhoods to grow without meeting conditions of habitability, which worsened the general image and structure of the city, and also placed into question the urban growth of Luanda on solid foundations. In the city appeared the port, the airport, and structural passages that ensured the connection between the city and other parts of the country. It was modernism which arrived according to the designs of the industry. However, with the industry not only came modernism but also more precarious instalations such as musseques (name given to rural areas in Africa) which made up the other side of how the city lived. A notso-beautiful reality, which is also unpleasant, was the reality of Luanda which lurked behind tall buildings, luxurious neighborhoods, and engaging, almost in a wicked way, the large infrastructure that we study here. As the time went by installation of slums arose, following the railroad, the main roads to the city, near the port and the city's airport. It is the presence of these urban environment and infrastructure we propose to analyze.

Full textAbstract:
The monograph is devoted to the methodology of material and technical support of railway transport. According to the types of activities, the nature of the material and technical resources used, technologies, means and management systems, Russian railways belong to the category of high-tech industries that must have high quality and technical level, reliability and technological efficiency in operation. For this reason, the logistics system itself, both in structure and in the algorithm of the functions performed as a whole, needs a serious improvement in the quality of its work. The economic situation in Russia requires a revision of the principles and mechanisms of management based on the corporate model of supply chain management, focused on logistics knowledge. In the difficult economic conditions of the current decade, it is necessary to improve the quality of the supply organization of enterprises and structural divisions of railway transport, directly related to the implementation of the process approach, the advantage of which is a more detailed regulation of management actions and their mutual coordination. In order to increase the efficiency of its activities and develop the management system, Russian Railways is developing a lean production system aimed at further expanding the implementation of the principles of customer orientation, ideology and corporate culture.
At the present time, the solution of many issues is impossible without a cybernetic approach to the formulation of problems of material and technical support and logistics analysis of information technologies, to the implementation of the developed algorithms and models of development strategies and concepts for improving the business processes of the production system. The management strategy, or the general plan for the implementation of activities for the management of material resources, is based on a fundamental assessment of the alignment and correlation of forces and factors operating in the economic and political field, taking into account the impact on the specific form of the management strategy.
The materials will be useful to the heads and specialists of the directorates of the MTO, CDZs and can be used in the scientific research of bachelors, masters and postgraduates interested in the economics of railway transport and supply logistics.

AbstractThe aim of this introductory chapter is to provide a description of the evolving operating landscape of safety-critical systems (e.g. aviation, chemical and nuclear industries, railway) in the past two to three decades, towards network configurations based on contracting out. The topic of this book is strongly connected to this evolution and our understanding of its consequences for safety. The chapter situates the rise of these network configurations in the context of the advent of what has been described as globalisation, a phenomenon shaped by the liberalisation of trade and finance; privatisation and deregulation and the development of technology (communication, transport). A distinction between occupational safety and process safety is introduced to remain aware of different situations, depending on their nature, and positions within such networks. The chapter then summarises the different contributions to this book by a range of authors who bring unique lenses to this topic from a diversity of angles.

Capital outflow; decrease in the number of economically active population involved in work in the industry due to their departure abroad or mobilization; interruptions in the supply of construction materials, both domestic and imported; growth of transport risks; damage to logistics routes and connections due to a sea blockade, stoppage of railway traffic in the territory of hostilities, suspension of air traffic, destruction of highways; damage to equipment, construction objects; critical infrastructure destruction; lack of material resources; increasing economic uncertainty; the impossibility of conducting business in the regions of hostilities and in the territories adjacent to them; decrease in demand; reducing the scope of activities; losses due to termination or suspension of activity - this is far from a complete list of problems, the solution of which depends today on the economic security of not only the construction industry, but also the state as a whole. After all, it is the construction industry that ensures the reconstruction of the country, solves the problem of employment of the population; fills the revenue part of local budgets; stimulates the expansion of other industries: metallurgy, mechanical engineering, woodworking, petrochemical industry, energy, transport, etc.; performs a social function, in particular providing housing.

Innovation was central to developments in urban railway transport in nineteenth-century London and Paris. Innovation was often political, the result of an encounter between and across a range of actors, including railway entrepreneurs and their companies, railway engineers, civil engineers, architects, intellectuals, a range of authorities –local, municipal, metropolitan, regional and national –, and the rich mix of people affected by the opening of a new railway line. The chapter opens up the notion of innovation to issues that cover three different dimensions: the politics, the culture and the social concerns behind the building of railways. It shows how London and Paris coped, but also dealt with one of the most transformative forces of nineteenth-century Britain and France. An important part of that story relates to the different futures that were envisioned in the two cities, in response to specific concerns and determined by a particular set of conditions. This approach highlights the process of how innovations took place rather than the end result.

Abstract The sale of the railways in Britain is the last big network privatization. A major distinction between railways and the other utilities - gas, electric ity, water, and telecommunications-is that their product is not homo geneous. Rail transport and travel are provided in a market which provides highly competitive substitutes, many of which are subject to lighter or, indeed, no regulation. The tax treatment of some of these substitutes also gives rise to distortions. Rail travel has few of the monopoly characteristics to enable it to extract rent from users, and survival of railways depends on substantial and continuing subsidy. Also, coming late in the programme of privatization meant that the experience of regulating other utilities was taken into account in the restructuring of the railways. The Rail Regulator was in place well before the transfer of operations to the private sector took place, and he was able to play a formative role in the development of the new arrangements.

Forecasting represents an indispensable activity in railway transportation planning. Forecasting of demand levels is vital to the railway company as a whole as it provides the basic input for the planning and control of all functional areas including railway transport operations planning, marketing and finance. Demand levels and the timing of their appearance (on a day, week, month or seasonal basis) greatly effects capacity levels, financial needs and general structure of the business.Forecasting employs historical data and uses various forecasting methods to make accurate estimates of future demands. Forecasting approaches can be generally divided into two categories: econometric or causal and time series techniques. In this chapter a comprehensive review of methods belonging to these two broad classes will be made. Special emphasis will be given to the application of these techniques to railway demand modeling.

Annotation. This article highlights the issues of workers’ industrial medical rehabilitation, one of the leading professions of railway transport who had already had COVID 19. There is a main aspect is the data of the studies carried out for the period 2020-2021 there on the basis of the Center for Restorative Medicine and Rehabilitation of the Private Healthcare Institution KB "Russian Railways-Medicine" Yekaterinburg and the Clinical Hospital of the ChUZ of Perm together with the Department of Faculty Therapy No. 2 of Occupational Pathology and Clinical Laboratory Diagnostics of PSMU im. Wagner. Proceeding from the fact that the institutions of Russian Railways-Medicine are the main link in maintaining the health of the transport system of JSC Russian Railways employees. Methods: On the basis of the rehabilitation department in Yekaterinburg, express questionnaires about quality of life were developed and implemented for JSC Russian Railways employees after this disease. The questionnaires included a subjective assessment of the physiological, psychological, and emotional state of Russian Railways employees (able-bodied) who had recovered in the near future and those who had not more than six months after the illness. The total number of people who have recovered since the beginning of the pandemic is about 4,000. The questionnaires received on feedback from 761 people were processed. In the structure of the interviewed by gender: male - 47%, female - 53%, respondents who have had mild and moderate forms of a new coronavirus infection (COVID-19). In the research and analysis of the material obtained, the criteria for selection for rehabilitation were identified, taking into account age and gender status, as well as the need for rehabilitation measures. The obtained data were compared with the research data of the Department of Faculty Therapy No. 2, Occupational Pathology and Clinical Laboratory Diagnostics of the Vagner State Medical Academy, Perm. Results: The study results are used in the development of rehabilitation programs and are also aimed at reducing industrial risks and hazards arising in the railway transport when performing functions by employees of locomotive crews who returned to production activities in the early period after this infection. Since, in combination with postcovid symptoms, the influence of production factors, the “specificity of the human factor”, can lead to serious consequences, both in health and in the performance of their labor duties on the infrastructure of railway transport, which is an increased danger zone. We have found that rehabilitation measures must be carried out for all employees of Russian Railways who have been ill, regardless of gender, age and degree of lung damage. In our opinion, an important marker for the understanding of functional disorders in postcoid symptomatology is the neutropicity of the virus, its penetration and damage to the limbic system, those important departments responsible for the regulation of general changes in brain activation that affect the integrity of functioning.

Full textAbstract:
Human activity since the industrial revolution through the use of fossil fuels is changing the natural composition of the atmosphere increasing the so called Greenhouse Gases (GHG). Extremadura’s government decided to react actively towards the predicted climatic variations and for that the “Strategy for Climatic Change for Extremadura” (2009-2012) was approved, which marked the strategies to follow regarding the mitigation and adaptation to climate change. Among the strategies some concrete measures are included like developing annual inventories of GHG emissions and contributing to the development and demonstration of innovative approaches, technology methods and instruments. With this objective in mind, we develop this investigation where data and conclusions dealing with the savings of CO2 emissions are given through a comparison of the actual freight transport in the area of influence of the line Badajoz-Puertollano with various scenarios of exploitation for the new planned infrastructures. The savings of the emissions will be caused by: - The lowering of the emission factors (kg CO2/t·km) in the upgraded railway line in respect to the actual one. - The commissioning of the upgraded line will reduce the number of lorries circulating on roads, whose emission factors in unitary terms are far more superior to those ones which will be produced by the use of the new railways. The research concludes that the commissioning of the corridor will delete 863,000 transport operations on lorries for a five-year period, reducing the CO2 emissions in relation with the road: a 59% if the traction is diesel and an 82% if it is electric.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/CIT2016.2016.3505

Full textAbstract:
The growing global population is creating high demand for transport and the various goods industries, which produce lead-generating emissions from air pollutants. The increase in lead concentration is very dangerous because it affects the nature and human health around us. The great concern for human health and the environment has contributed to research on lead concentrations around us. The aim of the study is to clarify the prevalence of lead in Jelgava between 2018 and 2021. The winter period was selected for this study, as it is possible for snow to collect samples from the urban drilling environment, where lead dust from urban pollution lands on the snow surface. The snow was collected from 60 points in the city, where high traffic intensity, railway infrastructure and various types of industry are found. The samples were analysed over a four-year period, with a total of 240 samples. Samples were collected at each point, creating a 15 x 15 cm area in the snow and collecting all the snow to the soil from the established area. Below, these snow samples were stored for a few days in a refrigerator with temperatures ranging from +3 to +5 0C and transported to a laboratory where lead concentrations were determined in snow samples. Lead concentrations in snow samples are determined to determine the intensity of their release in nature, linked to the rapid increase in anthropogenic activities in the last two centuries. Cases of increased lead accumulation have already been observed in wild animals. It is therefore necessary to carry out detailed studies on lead concentrations in nature and their potential for increase. In the analysis of lead concentrations, it was found that the highest lead concentrations were in 2018, when their median was 3.59 ?g/L, with a maximum value of 51.8 ?g/L. The smallest lead concentrations were found in the 2020 measurements, when their median was 0.17 ?g/L, with a maximum value of 6.65 ?g/L in the analysis. The data collected, it can be concluded that there are very large variations in data and unpredictable concentrations associated with the intensive traffic of vehicles, industry, road repairs and fireworks at different festivals.

Full textAbstract:
Interdepartmental Memorandum of Understanding (IMOU) 5170 between Natural Resources Canada (NRCAN), the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) and Transport Canada Innovation Centre (TC-IC) aims to gain new insight into slow-moving landslides, and the influence of climate change, through testing conventional and emerging monitoring technologies. IMOU 5107 focuses on strategically important sections of the national railway network in the Thompson River valley, British Columbia (BC), and the Assiniboine River valley along the borders of Manitoba (MN) and Saskatchewan (SK). Results of this research are applicable elsewhere in Canada (e.g., the urban-rural-industrial landscapes of the Okanagan Valley, BC), and around the world where slow-moving landslides and climate change are adversely affecting critical socio-economic infrastructure. Open File 8931 outlines landslide mapping and changedetection monitoring protocols based on the successes of IMOU 5170 and ICL-IPL Project 202 in BC. In this region, ice sheets, glaciers, permafrost, rivers and oceans, high relief, and biogeoclimatic characteristics contribute to produce distinctive rapid and slow-moving landslide assemblages that have the potential to impact railway infrastructure and operations. Bedrock and drift-covered slopes along the transportation corridors are prone to mass wasting when favourable conditions exist. In high-relief mountainous areas, rapidly moving landslides include rock and debris avalanches, rock and debris falls, debris flows and torrents, and lahars. In areas with moderate to low relief, rapid to slow mass movements include rockslides and slumps, debris or earth slides and slumps, and earth flows. Slow-moving landslides include rock glaciers, rock and soil creep, solifluction, and lateral spreads in bedrock and surficial deposits. Research efforts lead to a better understanding of how geological conditions, extreme weather events and climate change influence landslide activity along the national railway corridor. Combining field-based landslide investigation with multi-year geospatial and in-situ time-series monitoring leads to a more resilient railway national transportation network able to meet Canada's future socioeconomic needs, while ensuring protection of the environment and resource-based communities from landslides related to extreme weather events and climate change. InSAR only measures displacement in the east-west orientation, whereas UAV and RTK-GNSS change-detection surveys capture full displacement vectors. RTK-GNSS do not provide spatial coverage, whereas InSAR and UAV surveys do. In addition, InSAR and UAV photogrammetry cannot map underwater, whereas boat-mounted bathymetric surveys reveal information on channel morphology and riverbed composition. Remote sensing datasets, consolidated in a geographic information system, capture the spatial relationships between landslide distribution and specific terrain features, at-risk infrastructure, and the environmental conditions expected to correlate with landslide incidence and magnitude. Reliable real-time monitoring solutions for critical railway infrastructure (e.g., ballast, tracks, retaining walls, tunnels, and bridges) able to withstand the harsh environmental conditions of Canada are highlighted. The provision of fundamental geoscience and baseline geospatial monitoring allows stakeholders to develop robust risk tolerance, remediation, and mitigation strategies to maintain the resilience and accessibility of critical transportation infrastructure, while also protecting the natural environment, community stakeholders, and Canadian economy. We propose a best-practice solution involving three levels of investigation to describe the form and function of the wide range of rapid and slow-moving landslides occurring across Canada that is also applicable elsewhere. Research activities for 2022 to 2025 are presented by way of conclusion.
