Abstract: The paper considers changes of directions and scale of traffic flows generated by the NEA countries during the period from 1990 to 2013. Using the international statistics data (volume and structure of NEA trade flows within and outside the region) the author analyzes the main tendencies of NEA foreign trade as it’s the basis of international freight and passenger traffic. The study also gives the dynamics of transport systems of the NEA countries. With the help of the national statistics data the author focuses on the transformation of transport systems of the NEA «Big Three»: Japan, Republic of Korea and China. For these three countries the article examines the key formation stages of transport systems, analyzes the structure changes in transport modes of freight and passenger traffic, dynamics of the transport infrastructure elements (density of ground networks) and GDP cargo consumption. The paper shows stimulating and restricting conditions to integration of national transport systems of the NEA countries, in particular, institutional and technological factors prevailing in the regional transport market.
