The article is devoted to the study of terminal and logistics infrastructure development for perishable cargo handling in the Moscow region. The authors conducted an analysis of the existing terminal and warehouse infrastructure. Key requirements for modern terminal and logistics centers ensuring perishable cargo handling have been identified. The calculation of the optimal location for the placement of a prospective terminal and logistics center has been performed, taking into account freight traffic flows, infrastructure accessibility, and economic factors. The research results are aimed at improving the efficiency of logistics processes and reducing losses during perishable cargo transportation by rail transport in urban agglomeration conditions.

This study addresses the problem of water body pollution and the negative impact of anthropogenic eutrophication on aquatic ecosystems. Eutrophication not only deteriorates the ecological situation in water bodies but also creates significant obstacles for efficient and safe water transport operations, causing blockages and damage to vessel mechanisms. To prevent such risks, biological rehabilitation of water bodies through algalization is proposed to reduce pollutant levels and prevent cyanobacterial blooms. Discussions surrounding the effectiveness of the algalization method are examined. The experience of algalization application in the Kozhukhovsky backwater of the Moscow River using green microalgae representative —  Chlorella kessleri strain VKPM A1-11 ARW —  is described. Algalization results are evaluated based on structural and functional characteristics of phytoplankton and phycocyanin content —  a pigment characteristic of cyanobacteria. Phycocyanin possesses unique optical properties and is used for monitoring cyanobacterial biomass. Within the framework of this research, phycocyanin measurements were conducted in the Moscow River waters using the Aqua TROLL 600 multiparameter probe.

Moscow, as a highly urbanized metropolis, faces parking deficits and environmental challenges. Recent policy trends favor restricting underground parking construction. This study provides a comprehensive assessment of the environmental effectiveness of such restrictions and identifies associated trade-offs. The methodology encompassed environmental monitoring data analysis (Mosekomonitoring), regulatory authority reports (Rospotrebnadzor), pollution dispersion modeling (AERMOD), transportation behavior statistics evaluation (Moscow Traffic Management Center), and literature review. Results indicate that restrictions potentially reduce groundwater contamination risks (up to 2.5 times the maximum permissible concentration of petroleum products) and soil pollution, while decreasing energy consumption (58–72 t CO₂/ year per 1 000 m²). However, significant risks emerge: elevated street-level emissions (15–20% increase in downtown areas), heightened noise pollution (up to 65 dB) in residential zones due to informal parking, and reduced opportunities for surface green space development. The analysis demonstrates that environmental effectiveness depends critically on location (greater in central areas), alternative infrastructure development (public transit, car-sharing systems) and implementation of treatment technologies at surface parking facilities. The restriction serves as an effective policy instrument within comprehensive urban planning frameworks, though it necessitates area-specific approaches, investment in transportation alternatives, and mitigation measures to address adverse impacts.

Graph-analytical approaches in transport planning assessment facilitate comprehensive analysis of data collected during urban development and forecasting processes, while optimizing infrastructure facility placement. Volgograd exemplifies successful implementation of integrated graph-analytical control systems for transport and planning solutions. Road network optimization through this methodology reduces traffic congestion, enables efficient municipal budget allocation via evidence-based decision-making, and improves residents’ quality of life through enhanced transportation accessibility and environmental benefits from reduced traffic bottlenecks and lower emission levels.

During service life, various defect types within a single structural element may adversely affect the propagation rate of adjacent defects, accelerating their progression toward critical dimensions. This synergistic defect interaction facilitates structural deterioration, potentially leading to failure states. This research establishes the boundaries of interaction zones between proximate defects affecting load-bearing capacity, examining reinforced concrete beams as representative critical flexural members. The investigation considers the combined effects of reinforcement corrosion reducing bar cross-sectional area and concrete section loss in the compression zone.

This article analyzes existing trends and challenges arising from the development of intelligent technologies that are relevant for organizations implementing the transition to digital design in the Russian Federation.

This article examines transport infrastructure as a key economic growth driver across various countries, with particular focus on Russia. The analysis traces the historical development from Keynesian theory on government intervention for economic stimulus through successful infrastructure initiatives including the USSR’s GOELRO electrification program, Roosevelt’s New Deal in the United States, and development experiences in Mexico, South Korea, and Ireland. The study reveals significant infrastructure deficits in Russia, particularly in railway and highway density compared to international benchmarks. Moscow serves as a case study demonstrating how transport infrastructure development drives economic expansion, enhances living standards, and reduces operational costs. The findings underscore the critical importance of strategic planning and public investment in infrastructure projects to address contemporary economic challenges and facilitate sustainable national development.

This study examines uneven passenger flow distribution on adjacent interregional bus routes within Moscow agglomeration boundaries, focusing on connections between Odintsovo Urban District and Moscow's Western Administrative District during morning peak hours. The research investigates spatial and temporal passenger flow distribution patterns between Nemchinovka and Romashkovo settlements and adjacent Moscow districts. The methodology encompassed demographic and transport characteristic analysis of study areas, detailed examination of regular routes № 597 and № 597М, and collection of operational data regarding small-capacity vehicle schedules and occupancy rates. Route analysis revealed discrepancies between official and actual route alignments, stop locations, and distances, while assessing passenger exchange zone infrastructure quality. Results demonstrate significantly higher passenger volumes and extreme vehicle overcrowding toward Moscow during morning peak periods, coupled with inadequate transport infrastructure and stop facilities across multiple route segments. Findings indicate urgent need for enhanced interregional transport services and infrastructure development to adequately address population demands amid intensive commuting patterns and suburban population growth within Moscow agglomeration.
