Abstract
Permafrost areas are characterized by the presence of adverse natural factors that affect production and all other areas of human activity. However, the need for mining in such areas has led to the emergence of large cities with developed social and transport infrastructure, such as Murmansk, Norilsk, and Yakutsk. The tasks of transport services to the population in such cities are traditionally assigned to public transport, and, traditionally, the issue of organizing the tram traffic in such regions is raised. The chapter analyzes the influence of climatic features of permafrost areas on the organization of tram traffic and the construction of tram tracks. The requirements for the maintenance of tram tracks in the winter period in conditions of high snowfall and high intensity of snowfall and blizzards are described. The possibility of organizing the route of the tram tracks with the optimal transverse profile of the embankment is considered: its height and provision of its aerodynamic streamlining to avoid the formation of vortex zones.
