Abstract

The paper defines the structure and importance of the international North-South transport corridor. The types and points of routes that run through the territory of Russia have been identified. These routes include road, rail and water. The main water route and its branches have been identified. Examples of the content of water traffic along the Volga River have been given. A parametric model of vessel movement has been developed, being the basis for the simulation of water routes. As examples, fragments of diagrams of the state of ships movement in the section from Nizhny Novgorod to Kazan have been provided. Such diagrams are part of a simulation model that allows implementing different scenarios for the organization of navigation in particular areas.
