Abstract. The current paper deals with the analysis of the norms of legislation on transport security regulating the issues of suppressing acts of illegal interference in transport activities using unmanned vehicles of various classes and for various purposes. There have been considered the innovations in legislation that give transport security divisions the powers to suppress the functioning of aircraft, submarines and surface vessels and vehicles, unmanned vehicles, and other automated unmanned systems. There has been concluded that there are legal gaps in transport legislation related to the insufficient regulation of the procedure for making decisions on the use of special means and firearms to suppress acts of illegal interference using unmanned aerial vehicles. There have been proposed some rule-making measures aimed at overcoming these legal gaps.

Abstract. The current paper deals with the administrative and legal aspects of protecting the health of transport employees and its place in the system of transport safety and security. There has been noted that the sustainable and safe functioning of the transport complex presupposes a state-regulated process of targeted influence on public relations aimed at preventing accidents and incidents, preserving the life and health of employees, passengers, vehicles, cargo, and the environment. At the same time, the efficiency of public administration in the field of transport security is based on an integrated approach to the implementation of public and private interests, the interaction of executive authorities, public organizations, employers, and employees. There has been given an information from the law enforcement practice of control and supervisory authorities on accidents and incidents in water transport, indicating the necessity for increased attention to the health status of employees. There have been considered main national and international regulations governing mandatory medical examinations and contraindications for working on sea and river vessels. Using the example of the activities of the FMBA of Russia, there have been presented methodological and organizational approaches to seafarers’ health protection, aimed at the safety of navigation, and influencing the provision of transport safety and security.

Abstract. The current paper has presented the current concerns related to enforcement proceedings that arise during coercive measures on the debtor’s property, in particular, on his vehicle. Having analyzed the existing legislation it has become clear that the current mechanism for searching for vehicles does not allow the bailiff to fully implement enforcement measures. There has been substantiated the conclusion that the efficiency of the implementation of legislation on enforcement proceedings directly depends on the legal regulation of by-laws governing the affected area.

Vasily Al. Bokan - Federal State Institution “Roads of Russia”

Abstract. The development of the highway network is one of the key tasks in the development of the country’s transport infrastructure. Its implementation inevitably requires the seizure of land plots from rights holders for the needs of road construction, and due to the linear nature of the located objects, such seizure simultaneously affects the interests of many private individuals. The imperfection of legislative regulation in this area leads to a large number of legal disputes and delays in the procedure for providing land plots for the placement of roads and road infrastructure, as a result of which this stage of the process of their construction (reconstruction) is the lengthiest and legally complex. The current paper has presented the discussion of current problems of determining the grounds for the seizure of land plots for the needs of road construction and suggested directions for improving the legislative regulation of this area of public relations.

Abstract. Transport security is the state of protection of transport infrastructure facilities and vehicles from acts of illegal interference. Threats of committing acts of illegal interference require transport infrastructure entities to unquestioningly comply with requirements to enforce transport security. Compliance with transport safety requirements is monitored by supervisory authorities represented by the transport prosecutor’s office and Rostransnadzor. But what should a shipowner do if compliance with transport safety legislation entails a violation of fire safety rules? Is it necessary to install an access control system to critical elements of the ship, understanding that if there is a fire, people may die on it, and failure to comply with transport safety requirements will result in criminal penalties? The current paper has considered the contradictions in transport and fire safety requirements regarding the installation of access control systems to critical elements on ships. There have been studied existing regulatory documents and have been formulated proposals to resolve the identified contradictions in the legislation.

Vladimir Al. Zhavoronkov - Candidate of Law, associate professor, Russian University of Transport (RUT MIIT)

Abstract. The current paper has studied issues related to the use of modern technical means, the use of which makes it possible to increase the efficiency of inspection of the scene of a traffic accident, eliminating the implementation of unproductive and voluminous operations during investigative actions and, ultimately, investigations in cases of this category. There has been considered the possibility of using external outdoor cameras and video recorders for these purposes, as a means of quickly and objectively establishing all the circumstances of the accident, determining the role of each area in the accident and the technical quantities necessary to resolve the issues posed to the expert, in particular, such a technical quantity, as vehicle speed, which is one of the main quantities used when carrying out calculations in the process of performing forensic automotive technical examinations.

Elena S. Kondratova - main specialist of the department of legal support of the compliance department of ANO “Moscow Directorate of Transport Services”

Abstract. In the conditions of large-scale spread of modern technologies in transport, which determine the relevance of the issue, there has been conducted a comparative legal study of international and national regulatory legal acts, as well as their projects regulating relations in the field of regulating the operation of highly automated (unmanned) vehicles. There have been considered the problems of legal regulation of the use and operation of unmanned vehicles in traffic conditions. The bills on regulating the operation of unmanned vehicles submitted to the Russian parliament have not acquired the status of existing regulatory legal acts. Unmanned vehicles are currently used on the basis of by-laws exclusively in the conditions of an experiment conducted on the territory of individual constituent entities of the Russian Federation without the release of such vehicles on public roads. By the time the experiment on the operation of highly automated vehicles is completed, it will be necessary to regulate legally all issues related to the operation of such vehicles with the simultaneous integration of their regulations with the norms of the current legislation in the field of transport and road safety, as well as legislation on experimental legal regimes in the field of digital innovations regulated by a special law. Taking into account one of the main problems of Russian legislation regulating the operation of unmanned vehicles, which does not allow the movement of a vehicle on public roads without a driver, there has been determined the need to amend the Traffic Rules. In this regard, there has been proposed to synchronize the Traffic Rules with the provisions of the 1968 Convention on Traffic Rules.

Abstract. There has been conducted an analysis of measures of administrative coercion aimed at ensuring the observance and execution of mandatory requirements for transport security by the subjects of railway transport. The purposefulness, content, legal regulation, specific features and subjects of the application of coercive measures of anti-terrorist protection of railway transport are considered. In order to systematize them and improve procedural regulation, there has been proposed an author’s classification of measures of administrative coercion, depending on various criteria.
