Accordingly, dynamic tariff pricing has been introduced, which takes into account the change in the ticket price depending on the date of purchase and the load of the trains. In the first stage, the pilot mode of dynamic pricing was introduced to two interregional and suburban routes. They are routes Almaty - Astana - Nurly zhol #3/4, Astana 1 - Saryagash #085/086. And from March 8, Astana-Karagandy will be included in route #853/854. Later, the new order will include trains running on all social connections.   Tariff price table including dynamic pricing in the "-25%" and "+25%" corridors was introduced in the mentioned trains. Thus, a passenger who buys a ticket early has the opportunity to buy it at a price four times lower than the base price. As the date of departure of the train approaches and the demand for a particular route increases, the ticket price will increase. Tickets for the above trains can be purchased from January 23, 2018.  Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mps/press/news/details/25947?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
