Abstract

The goal of research is to develop a conceptual solution of the problem of transport vehicle adaptation to operation in the north and arctic regions of the Republic Sakha of (Yakutia) and to establish a business system to make the area more accessible for vehicles. Methodology and research technique are based on theories proposed by both national and foreign scientists and researchers, who addressed the issues of transport system development in the north regions, technological forecasting, innovation management and economic analysis. Efforts to adapt standard models of vehicles for operation under Arctic conditions and to introduce cross-country transport machines have unraveled a number of challenging issues in the complex cycle of developing a vehicle and delivering it to consumer. One of the problems derives from Technical Regulations introduced in 2015, which prescribe strict rules regarding changes to vehicles’ design, making it almost impossible to legitimately modify and improve standard models to adapt them for Arctic conditions. Lack of systematic support from certification and development tests of vehicles utilized under Arctic conditions is the reason behind such flaws in the regulations. The present paper contains a conceptual solution to this problem and describes an established business system for shaping an infrastructure for certification and development tests of transport vehicles for operation in Arctic conditions. Characteristic properties of the transport system adopted in the arctic zone of the Republic Sakha of (Yakutia) that condition adaptation measures for vehicles are analyzed. Vehicles adjusted for Arctic and brought to the national market are reviewed. The novelty of the present study consists in developing a mechanism of shaping an infrastructure for certification and development tests of vehicles for operation in the arctic zone of the Republic Sakha of (Yakutia), as well as establishing a foundation for taking necessary measures directly in the Republic Sakha of (Yakutia). The authors defined a task of mathematical and economic modeling of a vehicle choice to substantiate sponsorship claim of interregional transportation in arctic regions from all budget levels.
