Annotation. The study presents a hybrid artificial intelligence architecture for predicting the remaining travel time of freight trains, taking into account multiple factors. Experiments on a sample of 12 000 trains showed that the mean absolute error is 21–26% more accurate than existing methods.
Key words. Time prediction; artificial intelligence; hybrid models.
Annotation. The development of freight delivery services in urban areas requires extremely high speeds, minimal mileage, safety, and cargo security. This challenge can be addressed by converting the traditional two-way traffic system to a one-way system under the same road conditions.
Key words. List mile, oneway trafic, time on route, velosity, mileage, efficientcy.
Annotation. The article considers the task of predicting the duration of a taxi ride and the time of order delivery as a special case of the task of calculating the estimated arrival time of ETA, which is of practical importance for taxi services, courier delivery and e-commerce.
Key words. Arrival time prediction, order delivery time, time features, high-cardinality categorical features, target encoding, frequency encoding, machine learning.
Annotation. This article examines the problem of increasing the reliability and safety of railway tracks by integrating artificial intelligence technologies into their maintenance systems.
Key words. Railway track, predictive maintenance, artificial intelligence, machine learning, defect prediction, infrastructure diagnostics, intelligent logistics model.
Annotation. The article reveals the essence of the Fleet-as-a-Service concept in the context of autonomous freight transportation, establishes its difference from leasing and freight forwarding contracts, and identifies its prerequisites. The components providing FaaS and advantages for the client and the service provider are systematized, and the result of the analysis is a business scheme of interaction between participants, revealing the architecture of interaction between the parties within the framework of the service model.
Annotation. This paper examines the challenge of ensuring the sustainable development of regional aviation in Russia in the current context. It analyzes the strategic role of air transport in providing accessibility to hard-to-reach regions of the country. An analysis of the current state of regional aviation reveals systemic problems and the ineffectiveness of government subsidies, demonstrating funding growth outpacing passenger traffic.
Annotation. The article discusses the issues of ensuring spatial connectivity and increasing transport mobility of the Russian population in the context of changing directions of passenger traffic, their intensity, as well as partial closure of airspace in the using the example of the regions of the Southern Federal District.
Key words. Transport system, rail transport, spatial connectivity, population mobility, multimodal transportation, southern region.
Annotation. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the transformation of Russian civil aviation from 2015 to 2024. Particular attention is paid to changes that occurred after 2022 due to sanctions, the disruption of international relations, and reduced access to imported aircraft. The study examines the dynamics of passenger and cargo transportation, the evolution of the fleet structure, the development of the route network, as well as government support measures and import substitution programs.
Annotation. This article examines the role of digitalization in optimizing logistics business processes in the Arctic. Conclusions are drawn regarding the effective impact of modern technologies on reducing delivery times, transport risks, and logistics costs in the Far North.
Key words. Digitalization, Arctic logistics, optimization methods, transportation, logistics business processes.
