Abstract

This paper deals with the scientific and technical problem associated with the periodic inclusion of new dangerous goods by the Committee of Experts of the United Nations Economic and Social Council in Annex 1 to the Model Rules (list of dangerous goods allowed for carriage by the main transport modes). The analysis showed that there is no procedure for the automatic inclusion of new dangerous goods admitted (recommended) for transportation in international railway freight traffic into the national rules. This kind of procedure is not provided for in other modes of transport in Russia that carry out the corresponding transportation. The relevance of the work is also caused by the fact that there is no positive coordination of the efforts of specialists of various types of transport, which is necessary when organizing multimodal transport, and by other topical issues. The method of system analysis was used to improve the adaptation method of new dangerous goods and to determine the key conditions of transportation based on it. The concept of creating a unified national regulation on the safety of the handling dangerous goods sphere has been proposed. The scientific foundations of the methodology for assessing the effectiveness of the domestic system for regulating the conditions for the safe transportation of new dangerous goods by rail are presented, and an assessment of the prospects of its extension to other transport types is made.
