ABSTRACT

Purpose: To assess the necessity and socio-economic feasibility of building the Moscow — Minsk high-speed railway line (HSL). To analyse the perspective integration of the Moscow — Minsk high-speed railway in the high-speed railway network of the Union States as well as to evaluate its main technical and cost parameters. Methods: Review of publications on high-speed railway construction, particularly in Russia; comparative analysis of design solutions for perspective high-speed railway routes in Russia; statistical analysis of actual and prospective passenger traffic volumes. Results: Comparative construction costs and length of high-speed railways in the most promising regions of Russia are presented. Moscow — Minsk is the most popular direction of interaction with the Republic of Belarus both economically (production, business, etc.) and socially (cultural and creative ties, tourism, etc.). A significant increase in passenger air transportation has been revealed, which also indicates the demand for the development and improvement of transport links between the capitals of two fraternal states. The growth of JSC “Russian Railways” potential in developing and increasing passenger traffic has been shown. Practical significance: The feasibility of building a high-speed railway between Russia and the Republic of Belarus has been demonstrated that would improve and develop their co-operation in various areas of economy and social sphere
