IMPROVING THE EFFICIENCY OF RAIL TRANSPORT: THE WORLD EXPERIENCE
Abstract
Railroad transportation is a complex system of a country's economy. In a
situation where managing a simple system requires a special approach, a complex
system such as railroad transportation must be based on well-designed and effective
principles for the entire country. In recent years, many countries have undergone
various forms of railroad reform. The most common of these is the process of vertically
integrated liberalization. This article examines the achievements and consequences of
this process in different countries.
The purpose of the study is to examine changes in the global transport system as
an experiment, i.e. to determine the feasibility of such processes as privatization and
liberalization of rail transport in different countries on the railroads of Uzbekistan.[1]
As mentioned above, when implementing reforms or changes related to the
liberalization of rail transport, it is necessary to analyze its competitiveness in different
countries, because any action to be taken on rail transport should ultimately improve
its operational efficiency. Consequently, it is necessary to assess the importance of
railroad liberalization in terms of improving the efficiency of railroad operations
through indicators of competitiveness.[2]
