The transport system has five main functions: management, organization, planning, regulation and control. In a dynamic and internally connected complex railway transport system, a change in only one position leads to a change in many other components. At the same time, the theory treats management of all objects of the process as a unity of goals at different hierarchical levels, united by strategic decisions, regulatory and operational planning, and through technology of dispatch management. Keywords: system approach, transportation control, system theory, regulatory planning, adjustment measures, non-system management.

The article proposes a new technology that is based on the design of a self-unloading container developed by the authors. It is proved that it reduces the time of delivery of goods by more than 20 % and reduces the operating time of road transport by 7,4 times. This creates a significant economic effect, which allows to quickly recoup the purchase of a self-unloading container in just 14 runs along the calculated route.

The problem of rigidity of a three-element frame has long been one of the basic ones. Many scientists suggested installing cross connections, but this design was not always reliable, the cross connection was often simply deformed or broken, because, along with other aspects, it added 150-200 kg to the sprung mass of the bogie. Others suggested to put on the bogie wear-resistant, elastic elements, wheel sets with cassette bearings. Such changes in the design led to an improvement in dynamic performance, but did not solve the main problem. In the published article, the task is to uncover a new idea of modernizing the bogie, which is intended to reverse the trend that marked the transition of domestic cars to Barber S-2-R and Motion Control bogies. Keywords: railway, freight car, bogie 18-100, modernization, guide rollers, dynamics, cross connection, undercarriage parts of a car.

The analysis of the existing international practices was carried out, which shows that in the leading megacities of the world, for example, New York, London, Beijing, Paris, Berlin, there is a state or regional legislation regulating the tariff setting when organizing transportation by taxi. In Moscow, there is no such regulation, and the existing level of tariffs, and accordingly, hourly revenues, do not allow, provided that the work and rest schedule is observed, to ensure the established average salary for drivers in the city. Moreover, the tariffs from the «aggregators» operating on the taxi market can be qualified as dangerous (causing risks of accidents). Keywords: cars, taxi transportation, aggregators, tariffs, methods, hourly revenues, safety, emergency risks, regulatory legislation, international experience in tariff setting.
