Its planned annual collection is 4 bln. will amount to tenge.By 2020, the total annual income from the toll road will be 30 bln. There is a plan to reach tenge. In general, according to the results of the conducted work, it is planned to improve 90% of highways of republican importance, to increase the share of highways of I and II-technical category to 50%. This allows to increase cargo transportation by 2 times and reduce travel time by 1.5 times.According to Dmitry Potlov, Deputy Chairman of the Transport Committee of the Republic of Kazakhstan IDM, in November 2017, the construction of the second road with a total length of 112.37 km was completed on the Almaty-Shu section.

Tariff adjustment will not exceed the expected inflation limit.Thus, ticket prices on 38 routes are expected to increase by 7%, on 3 routes by 3%. However, there will be no change in the ticket price of 16 routes.This is done due to the tender applications of several carriers. And the carrier is responsible for the risks of reduced income on these routes.Tariff increase for suburban trains is 37%. This is due to the increase of base rates for passenger transportation on suburban trains.For example, the previous base price of suburban trains was 324 tenge per 100 km. And it was 3-4 times higher on highways.In order to reduce transportation costs in the suburbs, the base rate will be increased by 30%, and the price will be 464 tenge per 100 km.Thus, the upcoming amendments will allow to increase the efficiency of passenger transportation on socially important routes.Photo taken from open sourceSource : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mps/press/news/details/26064?lang=kk

Taking into account the results, it is planned to introduce online pre-registration of vehicles by international carriers in the field of road transport; installation of automated measurement systems on moving vehicles; adoption of legislative amendments on grounds for stopping a motor vehicle, removal of paper permits. Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mps/press/news/details/25808?lang=kk

Alik Shpekbayev, Chairman of the Agency for Public Service Affairs and Anti-Corruption of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan Kairat Abdirahmanov, Minister of Investments and Development of the Republic of Kazakhstan Zhenis Kasymbek, Commissioner for the Protection of the Rights of Kazakhstan Entrepreneurs Bolat Palymbetov, deputies of the Senate and Majilis of the Parliament of the Republic of Kazakhstan, members of the Council of Foreign Investors, members of the International Financial Center "Astana", diplomatic missions in the Republic of Kazakhstan, foreign representatives participated in the forum. and representatives of Kazakhstani business groups, international financial institutions, and local executive bodies participated.At the forum, other issues such as improving the investment climate, creating favorable conditions for attracting investment, protecting the rights of investors, the work of the Investment Ombudsman, fighting corruption, reducing business costs were discussed. A Memorandum of Cooperation was signed between the action agencies. In order to prevent violations of the legislation by state bodies during the inspection of investment activity entities, the creation of a special project "Protecting Investments" is being considered for conducting joint monitoring, rapid information exchange, holding joint meetings on a regular basis.In 2017, the Investment Ombudsman received more than 43 applications. Among them, appropriate measures were taken on 11 requests related to the protection and preservation of the rights of legal investors (issues were resolved in favor of investors). At the request of 18, recommendations were introduced, explanations were given and meetings were held to solve them. 14 applications do not fall under the jurisdiction of the investment ombudsman. They are disputes between business entities, court proceedings, etc.In most cases, investors often encounter obstacles in the areas of tax, customs and labor legislation, licensing and land relations.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mps/press/news/details/24952?lang=kk

Currently, international air traffic from the Republic of Kazakhstan is carried out on 121 air routes with a frequency of 660 flights per week with 28 countries.The Civil Aviation Committee of the Ministry of Transport of the Republic of Kazakhstan is constantly working on opening new international air routes.Thus, the airline "SCAT" plans to open the following new international routes from Shymkent airport this year:From May 27: (Egypt), 2 flights per week;Shymkent - Shanghai (China), 2 flights per week;Shymkent - Seoul (Korea), 2 flights per week;From May 30: Shymkent - Urumqi (China), 2 flights per week.Air Astana airline company also launched several new international routes. in planning:openflights from March 30:Almaty - Guangzhou (China), 3 flights per week;Almaty - Nyachang (Vietnam), 2 flights per week;openflights from March 31: Astana - Nha Trang (Vietnam), 2 flights per week;Planned:From April 20: Almaty – Mumbai (India), 3 flights per week;From May 14: Astana – Danang (Vietnam), 2 flights per week;From May 27: Atyrau – Tbilisi (Georgia), 3 flights per week;From May 28: Almaty – Osh (Kyrgyzstan), 4 flights per week;From May 31: Atyrau - Baku (Azerbaijan), 3 flights per week;From June 1: Almaty - Frankfurt (Germany), 3 flights per week;From June 4: Almaty - Da Nang (Vietnam), 2 flights per week.From May 1 this year, the airline "Qazaq Air" will fly to Astana - Turkestan - Samarkand it is planned to launch a new international route with a frequency of 2 flights per week.Airline "Fly Arystan" plans to open the following new routes this year:From May 18: Almaty - Inin (Kulja), 2 flights per week;From June 4:Karagandy - Istanbul (Turkey), per week 2 flights.Also, a number of foreign airlines are opening new flights to the Republic of Kazakhstan:"Eastar Jet" (Korea):From April 7 Seoul-Almaty route was opened, 2 flights a week;In the spring-summer season of this year, Pusan-Almaty route was opened, 2 flights a week;"TWay" (Korea): Sharm el-Sheikh - Kostanay route opened, 1 flight per week;From April 13, Hurghada - Almaty route, 2 flights per week;"Thai Air Asia X" (Thailand):In the autumn-summer season of 2025-2026, routes from Bangkok and Phuket to Almaty is planned.The opening of new air routes contributes to increasing the choice for passengers, strengthening competition in the air transport market. This, in turn, will have a positive effect on the price of transportation and will allow the quality of service to increase.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/transport/press/news/details/974647?lang=kk

In addition, taking into account the climatic conditions of the Kazakhstan region, it is possible to determine the conditions of the load on the roads.The invention belongs to the type of experimental mechanics. The results of the experiment can be applied to other fields as well as the road sector. The proposed devices are designed to determine the mechanical characteristics of materials during stretching. Therefore, this type of cycle can be used for research work on slippage caused by constant or stepwise weight and changes caused by constant speed weight.The difference between the devices is only due to the operating temperature of the studied sample, i.e. DEVICE-1 conducts research at temperatures from -30 ±1ºС to +20 ±1ºС, DEVICE-2 +20 ±1ºС to +60 ±1ºС conducted at temperatures There is no difference, the testing is the same.Because it is well known that slip and relaxation testing is the main method of determining the mechanical properties of viscoelastic materials.Asphalt concrete is one of the main materials of the road surface structure. The mechanical properties of asphalt concrete strongly depend on the effect of the force applied to it, speed, duration, volume and temperature. In real road conditions, the temperature in the asphalt concrete layers of the road surface varies widely due to changes in the ambient temperature, the weight of the car wheels, their duration and speed. Therefore, it is of great practical importance to take into account the changes in the above-mentioned factors during the determination of the mechanical properties of asphalt concrete.On the basis of these new devices, JSC "KazzholGZI" contributes to the creation of conditions for the working conditions of highways.This device was built and put into operation on the basis of its own initiative.  The order for this invention was sent on 06.10.2017, and today a notification was received that a positive result will be given to this order.Currently, experimental research is being conducted with the help of these new devices at JSC "KazzholGSI".Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mps/press/news/details/24546?lang=kk
