The article considers the complex problem of effective functioning and the methodology
development for managing transportation on low-density railway lines when interacting with intensive
highways, which is urgent for railway transport. The article raises complex problems and investigates
theoretical provisions of the problems of functioning of low-density railway lines and their interaction
with intensive and projected (modernized) lines. The solution to this problem is of great socio-economic
and economic importance for the operation of the railway transport network, ensuring the needs of
production and the population in transportation.
The article proposes a comprehensive synergetic-indicator approach to the management
of intensive and low-density railway lines based on existing management functions, including analysis,
organization, stimulation, control and coordination of the transportation process. A general assessment
of the dynamics of the functioning of low-density railway lines is given. The conceptual structure of the integrated synergetic-indicator approach is presented, which
has empirical foundations, prerequisites, theoretical foundations and implementation, confi rmed by
reliability criteria. The structure of the proposed railway transport management system is developed
for the selection of management objects. The elements of interaction of busy, low-density and
projected railway lines are established. The mathematical model diagram of the interaction of intensive
modernized low-density lines and the state function of the system under consideration have been
developed. The modeled transport system is classifi ed.
