Modern concepts of railway transport operation

Abstract. Experience of modern enterprises shows that in times of economic integration, profitability and competitiveness are ensured through effective management strategy of innovative development. An important reason for the negative trends in the railway sector enterprises is lack of modern methodology and mechanisms for effective governance. The newly formed scientific synergetic methodology highlights this concept as nonlinearity system (environment). Modern society is saturated with nonlinear objects, the characteristics of which are feedback probability, complexity, etc. Nonlinearity based on scientific principles of evolution and co-evolution of social and economic systems of railway transport, in our opinion, is a core of designing ways to develop the economics and society, it combines basic guidelines of synergy concept and sustainable development approach. This article summarizes six current concepts of railway transport innovative development due to its feature as a complex system of «subject – object – environment» – «human – machine system – nature». The research combines synergetic methodology, system and «sustainable development» approaches to prove that the strategic success of railway transport depends on the provision of «synergy sustainable development», which should be determined as ability to create mechanisms that provide synergistic effects through a combination of economic, environmental and human development. Involvement of such mechanisms will better the quality and safety of people’s lives; improve the environment, help to achieve social progress and to meet the needs of each person.
