Abstract. The current paper is devoted to the study of some problems of transport forensic examination, raised in the speeches of the participants of the First International Conference on the Problems of Transport Forensic Examination, held in early April 2025 within the framework of the I International Congress “Transport and Law” at the Russian University of Transport (MIIT). Most of the presented information was not included in the articles of the collection of scientific papers following the conference, therefore it is of great interest. The paper has examined such theoretical issues as determining the place of transport forensic examination in the classification system of forensic examinations, the content of the conceptual apparatus of transport forensic examination, etc. There has been paid particular attention to issues related to the practice of appointing and conducting transport forensic examinations and railway transport examinations in criminal and arbitration proceedings, examinations to establish the cost of restorative repairs of a vehicle after a traffic accident and examination of the quality of vehicle repair. In addition, the conference participants have suggested some measures aimed at preventing the consequences of traffic accidents. Following the conference, there has been adopted a resolution containing a number of proposals for the development of forensic examination in the transport sector.

Keywords: transport forensic examination; railway accidents; restorative repair of vehicles; examination of the quality of vehicle repair.
