Transportation complex of the Asian part of Russia: assessing its role in the country’s economy
The paper considers the approach to the assessment of how the different modes of transport influence on economic development in Russian federal districts and in units of the Siberian Federal District as well. The variants calculations demonstrate that the potential development of national economy does depend on how good the transportation infrastructure is developed both in Siberian and Far East regions. The railway transport has had a profound effect especially in the case of the Far East – Siberia – Ural Rout where a traffic volume is planning to be more intensive. The construction of the Northern Siberia Main Rout is of high priority because it will connect the Baikal-Amur Main Rout with Ural regions through the regions of the Krasnoyarsk Kray and the Tomsk Oblast which are planning to be more developed. The authors conclude that Russian interregional transportations should be of higher priority than to those of international transit.
