Directions and Prospects of Integrated Innovative Development of the Transport Infrastructure of the Russian Federation

Abstract

As an economic development determinant, transport needs to be improved on an ongoing basis. This is due to complex dynamic processes taking place both within the state and internationally. Social and economic transformations and scientific progress of the 21st century in the national economic sectors challenge the national policy of any state. The readiness for macroeconomic turbulence and the level of adaptability depend, to a decisive extent, on the economic potential of the state, where transport is the connecting link between the production, research and technical, agricultural and social components. As a backbone industry, the transport complex is based on infrastructure. The development of transport infrastructure is fundamental and is considered a priority not only at the national level, but also within the framework of globalization processes. Thus, the importance of resolving the issues of transport infrastructure development is due to the rapid development of the national economy as a whole. In this regard, the article emphasizes the importance of the integrated innovative development of Russia’s transport complex infrastructure and reveals promising directions for its development in conditions of market constraints.
