RESEARCH DIRECTIONS THE DEVELOPMENT OF SPEED AND HIGH-SPEED PASSENGER TRAINS ON RAILWAYS UKRAINE

This paper analyzes the trends of high-speed and high-speed passenger trains on the railways of Ukraine on the basis of market research and analysis of passenger traffic plying the effectiveness of conventional and high-speed passenger trains within the existing operating model railroad network. The analysis of changes in the competitiveness of rail transport in the passenger transportation market in the implementation of high-speed and high-speed rail passenger traffic. This paper analyzes the effectiveness of most profitable running of passenger trains normal speed (speed up to 120 km/h ) and passenger trains new Hyundai and Skoda (speed up to 160 km/h), which began to run from 2012 on the railway network inUkraine. We prove the efficiency of high-speed railway passenger transportation to Ukraine on the basis of an extensive network of specialized upgraded lines on which trains are capable of speeds up to 180 km/hwith the possibility of partial interaction with conventional network.
