ECONOMIC EFFICIENCY OF THE HIGH-SPEED TRAINS RUNNING IN UKRAINE

Objective. To develop methodology of determination of the high-speed running cost effectiveness in Ukraine. Methodology. Economic justification of the high-speed running appropriateness in Ukraine is the investment project, providing stage-by-stage investments into construction that will give the possibility to obtain annual revenue from the passenger transportations. For such problem solving, there is applied net present value that may be obtained by the Railway Transport of Ukraine or newly established companies during the project execution and upon its completion. Results. On the base of the carried out analysis one may state that there is developed complex method of the high-speed trains construction and operation effectiveness definition with consideration of infrastructure, rolling stock, etc., value. Scientific novelty. There is proposed the scientific approach to definition of the highspeed lines construction and operation economic effectiveness that specifies principles of their construction value definition, calculation of the rolling stock units quantity, optimizes calculations of revenue and expenditures in the context of competitive advantages and influence of external factors on the company activity that will give the possibility to increase the feasibility of the managerial decisions and economic effectiveness of the high-speed transportations. Practical relevance. Consideration of the abovementioned features increases feasibility of the managerial decisions as to high-speed transportation functioning effectiveness ensuring.
