The Russian Arctic development is an investment direction, which is planned through a system of so-called “support zones” of various development degrees, it is a priority for Russia and can have a positive effect. Since integrated territorial development is associated with significant cargo flows of raw materials, materials and goods, logistics chains will include various transport modes, which will lead to the development of infrastructure (including the construction and reconstruction of seaports, the network of the railways and roads expansion) and the emergence of new international transport corridors (ITCs). A scientifically based solution to the problems of constructing a delivery route, including the location of transshipment points, logistics terminals and the rolling stock selection, will ensure the sustainable territories development through which ITCs pass. However, these tasks, which constitute the activity of organizing multimodal transportation, are associated with various types of risks, the successful solution of which, in this case, depends on the sustainable territorial development of these territories. Therefore, the research objective is to establish the relationship between the development of transport networks and the development of the Arctic region, the designation of possible prospects for the development of both multimodal transportation as a whole as a strategic event, and the contribution of each kind of transport, as well as the risks of creating and using international transport corridors, including cumulative impact on the environment. As a result of the literature analysis, we have considered the causes and consequences of the improper planning of supply chains and infrastructure, then we have indicated the role of new transport corridors in the development of territories. We have built a tree of problems in order to systematize risk situations and identify root causes and consequences. A method for calculating the cargo delivery time is proposed, taking into account the multimodality of logistics chains as well as measures that help reduce risks.

The growth of city population appeared to be so intensive that the environment of many cities of the world fails to satisfy many biological and social human needs. That is why the idea of transfer to “green economics”, where material welfare is provided not by increase of ecological risks, becomes highly demanded, because there is no other way to provide ecological sustainability of urbanized territories. One of the most sufficient factors having impact on the state of the environment is increase of automobilization. Nowadays, automobile transport is the largest source of pollution of the environment in the urbanized territories. This article is dedicated to assessment of the influence of the noise level of the road transport on the state of the environment. It is admitted that the noise from road traffic flows constitutes the largest danger to human health, as road transport is the source of noise located directly near the places of human residence. Assessment of the noise pollution level was carried out through on-site investigations of a big city. According to the result of the measurements, the sound level exceeds the maximum acceptable level at any measured traffic flow intensity and at any distance from the road. To determine analytical form of dependence of the sound level from the intensity of traffic and the distance to the road (source of noise) a regression analysis was performed. As a result, the regression functions were found. Calculations were performed based on the obtained functions. They showed that the sound level within the interval from 0 to 41 meters from the road exceeds the maximum acceptable level and that location in this interval can have negative impact on human health. This article analyzes the main measures of combating noise pollution from road traffic flows.
