The improvement of the institution of railway transportation in the context of modern challenges
Abstract
Globalization transformations and the military aggression of the Russian Federation on the territory of Ukraine, as well as the blocking of seaports, have significantly changed the sphere of railway transportation. On the one hand, there were new tasks for the railway as one of the transport options for the export/import of products and the organization of passenger transportation, and on the other hand, the need to bring legislative regulation in accordance with European requirements. Therefore, in this context, it is important to analyze the possibilities for improving the institution of railway transport, to pay attention to the problematic aspects and nuances of railway work. The purpose of the work is to study the prospects for improving railway transportation in modern conditions and to consider problematic issues and challenges related to railway communication. The research methods are the dialectical method, the logical method, the concrete-historical method, the comparative-legal method, the formal-dogmatic method, the method of functional-structural analysis and theoretical-pragmatic analysis. As a result of the research, the current state of the railway industry in Ukraine was analyzed. The peculiarities of investment, the dynamics of passenger traffic, the volume of cargo transportation, and the consequences of the war on the territory of Ukraine for Ukrainian railways are considered.
