Models and Management Structure for the Development and Implementation of Innovative Technologies in Railway Transportation. I. Mechanisms of Priority Projects Selection and Resource Allocation

This paper consists of two parts. In the first part, organizational approaches to manage the development and implementation of complex projects on the creation of innovative products and technologies for energy-saving railway transport are proposed. Some methods for estimating and classifying projects by the degree of implementability and effectiveness are considered. A resource planning model and a corresponding algorithm for a set of projects are presented.
