Abstract

Railway transport remains one of the most important components of modern transportation systems due to its high capacity, energy efficiency, and significant socio-economic impact. Over recent decades, the development of railway transport has been strongly influenced by technological innovation, infrastructure modernization, and the growing demand for sustainable mobility. This article analyzes key trends in the development of railway transport, focusing on efficiency improvements and socio-economic effects.

The study examines the role of high-speed rail networks, electrification, and digital technologies in enhancing operational performance and transport reliability. Special attention is given to the contribution of railway transport to economic growth, regional integration, employment, and environmental sustainability. A comparative analysis of international experiences demonstrates that investment in railway infrastructure leads to reduced transportation costs, improved connectivity, and increased competitiveness of national economies.

The findings indicate that railway transport offers significant advantages over other modes of transport in terms of energy efficiency, safety, and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. Furthermore, the expansion of railway systems supports balanced regional development and promotes social inclusion by improving access to mobility. In conclusion, the article highlights that continued modernization and strategic investment in railway transport are essential for achieving long-term economic growth and sustainable development.
