Key challenges of border railway infrastructure and approaches to their resolution

Abstract

Since the onset of the military invasion, railway transport has faced significant challenges in export-import logistics. As a result of restrictions on port operations, the volumes of wagon flows towards western border crossings have increased substantially. The disruption of established freight delivery chains abroad has multiplied the load at western border crossings, resulting in the formation of queues and the emergence of additional logistics costs. The throughput capacity of the railway infrastructure requires modernisation to ensure the uninterrupted movement of freight.
