Analysis of rolling stock coupling designs and technologies for the implementation of international railway operations between Ukraine and the European Union
The purpose of this study is to analyze the existing and prospective coupling device designs and technologies for their application in organizing international railway operations between Ukraine and the European Union. The research identifies the main technical barriers associated with domestic rolling stock and explores optimal pathways for integrating Ukrainian rolling stock into the European transport system. The study also considers the possibility of adapting EU-member-state wagons for operation within the railway network of JSC “Ukrzaliznytsia”.
