STRATEGIC GUIDELINES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE OF RAILWAY TRANSPORT ENTERPRISES IN THE EXTREME CONDITIONS OF WAR

The infrastructure of railway transport occupies a key place in the economic sector of the economy of Ukraine, which ensures the need for passenger and cargo transportation. The extreme conditions of the war exacerbated the problems of railway transport infrastructure development, the number of railway sections that deviate from the standard is increasing, the non-productive load on the highway infrastructure is increasing due to the increase in downtime on station tracks, which as a result inhibits the development of high-speed passenger train traffic. Therefore, value orientations related to the strategic development of railway transport infrastructure with the beginning of a full-scale war need to be adjusted, since this area has undergone significant destruction. The purpose of the study is to form strategic guidelines for the development of the infrastructure of railway transport enterprises, taking into account the challenges, limitations and the potential of development opportunities in the extreme conditions of war. To achieve the set goal, a set of general scientific and special research methods was used, namely: a systematic approach — to clarify the structural elements of the railway transport infrastructure complex; abstraction, systematization, analysis and synthesis — for summarizing promising directions of infrastructure development of railway transport enterprises and forming key goals and directions of development taking into account the existing possibilities of attracting resources to achieve the goal, tabular, graphic — for visual display of research results. In the article, the elements of the railway transport infrastructure complex are structured. A matrix of challenges and identification of opportunities for the development of the infrastructure of railway transport enterprises in the conditions of war has been built. A system of qualitative criteria of strategically oriented reproduction in terms of passenger and cargo transportation is proposed. Strategic orientations for the development of railway transport infrastructure have been determined, taking into account the challenges, limitations and the potential of development opportunities in the extreme conditions of war. In further scientific research, it is proposed to form a management strategy and tactics, taking into account alternatives for the development of the infrastructure of railway transport enterprises, improving the technological processes of railway transport and taking into account modern standards during the restoration of the infrastructure of railway transport.
