The article analyzes the current state of passenger traffic on the railway network of Ukraine, identifies the main tasks for the future organization of high-speed traffic in conditions of Ukraine's integration into the EU. The analysis of the operation of high-speed passenger transportation in different countries of the world is carried out and possible variants of development of high-speed transport are offered, taking into account minimization of expenses for construction and time of passengers' passage between the main cities. Many years of foreign experience in the design and operation of high-speed roads, despite the differences in socio-economic, geological, topographical, and demographic conditions in different countries, has proved the expediency of two ways to solve the problem of speed, such as speeding traffic on existing lines; construction and commissioning of specialized high-speed lines. It is proved that introduction of high-speed passenger trains on the main railway lines will: significantly increase the capacity of railway transport in the field of passenger transportation; reducing the time spent by passengers on the road and ensuring that on this basis, the needs of the population in the implementation of travel; reduction of the cost of passenger transportation and the expenses of society to eliminate the consequences of transport; creation of a competitive environment in the market of transport services; ensuring integration of the country's railways into the European transport system. It is proved that in order to ensure introduction of high-speed traffic in certain directions it is necessary to carry out a set of measures for technical re-equipment of railway sections, nodes, railroad, car and locomotive economy, and other objects of infrastructure of railways. Therefore, in the long run, the task of introducing high-speed passenger trains with a speed of up to 350 km / h, should be set as it is the most resource-saving mode of transport.
