We are pleased to present to you the final issue of the journal in 2025 and inform you that LOGISTICS is opening a new page in its development by starting cooperation with the Crystal Growth Foundation, which means that the information saturation of the publication will change for the better. The first issue is dedicated to one of the innovative domestic developments, AI-Kantorovich, which the Crystal Growth Foundation created together with Hive Mind AI.
Dear readers! We are pleased to present to you the eleventh issue of the journal in 2025. There are a lot of relevant and useful materials in the issue, which, hopefully, will not be ignored.
Dear readers! In September the CeMAT RUSSIA exhibition was held, which showed everyone that innovations and robotics are increasingly penetrating the logistics industry. We can safely say that many technologies are tested here, and only then they go out into the world. However, it is not only CeMAT RUSSIA that demonstrates the prevalence of the digital agenda.
Annotation. The article is of a review nature and is devoted to the analysis of modern research, problems and prospects for the development of rail transportation of consolidated cargo in the context of growing demand for small-lot deliveries. A new technology for organizing consolidated rail transportation based on the concept of carpooling is analyzed, which proposes to exclude unnecessary links from the chain through intelligent systems.
Key words. Consolidated transportation, rail transport, digital technologies, carpooling, logistics platform, logistics intermediary.
Annotation. The article is devoted to analyzing the current state and prospects for the development of the logistics infrastructure of the Eastern Polygon. The main directions of the third modernization phase are covered. Special attention is given to the role of public-private partnerships and international cooperation for the successful implementation of the tasks. Innovative solutions aimed at enhancing the safety, efficiency, and environmental sustainability of transportation processes are also examined.
Annotation. Since the beginning of 2022, after the sanctions imposed by the European Union and the United States against Russia, there has been a collapse in international trade. Enterprises were forced to reorient themselves towards Asian markets for exports. Since the majority of companies sending large batches of products use the railway, the freight flow at many polygons of JSC «Russian Railways» was disrupted.
Annotation. The article considers the stages of modeling the operation of the stations of the Eastern Polygon of the railways of the Russian Federation and the achieved economic and social effects of their implementation. The prospects for the development of this area have been determined.
Key words. Vostochny, polygon, virtual, coupling, safety, car science, modeling.
Annotation. The article provides an overview and analysis of the application of logistics and logistics approaches to the transportation of various goods in various types of communications, as well as for military operations from the time of the Phoenician state to the present day.
Annotation. The paper describes the developed technological principles of the organization of logistics of the metropolitan agglomeration and, using the example of container trains of reduced composition (Shuttle trains), technological processing schedules and the necessary track development of railway stations are given. The technological features that arise during the formation and passage of shuttle trains along railway sections with intensive commuter traffic are considered.
Annotation. In order to implement projects for the development and formation of a modern transport infrastructure system on the territory of the Russian Federation, it is necessary to develop regulatory documentation that would take into account the strategy of interaction of various modes of transport at transport hubs. The article examines the features of a real, conditionally effective and rational strategy for the interaction of rail and road transport in order to maximize the quality of services provided for the transportation of passengers in suburban traffic.
Annotation. After the events of 2022, the author analyses how new realities are affecting Russia's logistics. The restrictions are becoming tighter, and Russia continues to lead in terms of economic impact. Kaliningrad, in particular, has faced restrictions on cargo transportation, prompting the development of new logistics routes and solutions.
Key words. Kaliningrad region, Freight transportation, Transit, Logistics, Sea transportation, Railway transportation, Road transportation.
Annotation. Intermodal transport schemes for perishable goods have recently become increasingly in demand due to the high level of transportation quality and a significant reduction in the likelihood of damage to the transported perishable cargo in a closed refrigerated container. Despite the fact that several types of transport are involved in intermodal transportation, the required temperature and other parameters are set and constantly maintained in the cargo area of the transported refrigerated container throughout the entire transportation.
Annotation. The article provides overview and analysis of the key trans Eurasian overland routes: Nothern corridor going through Russia, Middle corridor through Central Asia and Caspian Sea, and some other less known roads. The article shows the current capacity of these routes, their development plans and makes judgement on their perspectives and importance for the international trade and economic development of the countries involved.
Key words. Nothern route, Middle corridor, One Belt One Road initiative, Central Asia, Trans Eurasian transport routes.
