Creation of transport and logistics clusters on railway networks

The development of logistics terminals and their placement on the railway network, which involves their integration into transport and logistics clusters, will significantly reduce logistics costs, thanks to the optimal technology for the movement of goods, and also contributes to active import substitution and the level of growth in the competitiveness of goods and services. Clustering, which is being given great attention by the Government of the country today, will allow solving some issues of territorial balance of production concentration, increasing the share of high-tech industries, avoiding dependence on trade in resources, increasing the added value of goods, increasing economic growth rates. Modern Uzbekistan has huge transport potential and unique opportunities to meet the needs of the country in the movement of both goods and passengers in all directions by all possible modes of transport through the use of available transit resources. The article analyzes the sectoral structure of the industry of Uzbekistan, shows the existing clusters of the agricultural sector of the republic. The methods of assessing the level of cluster development in the context of the regions of Uzbekistan are described. Paired correlation analysis was used to determine the presence and type of relationship between the studied factors. As a result, the regions of Uzbekistan in terms of the placement of freight infrastructure on railways in order to create potential transport and logistic clusters were grouped depending on the indicators of socio-economic and infrastructural development

Improving use of shunting locomotives based on changes in infrastructure of railway station

It is known that one of the main factors reducing the shortage of shunting locomotives at railway stations and leading to a reduction in their employment time due to increased labor productivity is the state of equipment of the railway station infrastructure with SCB devices. This article presents a way to attract low-mobility shunting locomotives by reducing the duration of employment of shunting locomotives allocated for the daily amount of work performed at the station when equipping them with devices by changing the infrastructure of an electric decentralized railway station. A comparative analysis of the time spent by the shunting locomotive in motion during the day when performing each technological operation for the maintenance of cargo facilities, as well as the amount of time spent on additional actions, is carried out
