Perspectives of High-Speed Train Traffic in Ukraine at the Stage of Integration with the European Network

Abstract

ENG: The extension concept of the high-speed network for Eastern European countries has been formulated the implementation of which will allow integrating the railways of Ukraine into a high-speed network of Europe. Based on the analysis of long-term tasks, the following issues are subject to the rationale: the implementation of speed (161-200 km/h) and high- speed (250-350 km/h) train traffic in Ukraine, transition to a new track, which in its parameters will ensure the implementation of high-speed train traffic, the use of rolling stock with the tilting of car bodies, constructing the uropean standard gauge. Based on the results of scientific developments, the authors outlined the ways to solve the problem concerning the designing route of the high-speed network and the creation of a
