Application of the corridor management principle to the organization of the trans-Siberian railway

The article is focused on assessing the possibility of adapting world experience managing transport corridor, including international ones, to process organizing and Eastern railway polygon. Particular attention paid analysis possibilities implementing corridor management principle basis Trans-Siberian in terms competitive interactability with railways Europe, East Central Asia framework construction projects. Conditions prerequisites for achieving commercial return projects integration priority areas, types cargo, rolling stock role goals socio-economic development regions have been revealed. It has determined that orientation long-distance bulk cargo hinders implementation Railway. also proven a vertically integrated structure network unequal functional territorial branches fundamentally different ensuring non-discriminatory access infrastructure specifically intermodal operators. As summary, paper presents key directions improving organization system ensure competitiveness, obtain positive effects from polygons, as well effective into corridors.
