Main stages of effective transport management system modernization in Russian agglomerations

Abstract

This article presents main problems typical for the transport management system in Russia. Characteristics of the barriers hampering the infrastructure projects implementation are described; possibilities for overcoming these barriers are indicated. An approach is proposed for effective modernization of transport management systems, including such components as formation of a ‘common language’, use of ‘systems laws’ and system engineering methods. The importance of the first stage including comprehension and formulation of shared values by all participants has been emphasized. The necessity of consistent coordination of the participants’ interests in the transport system development is presented: from the definition of shared values to shared goals and to the general conceptual project guaranteeing achievement of these goals.
