The impact of the digital economy on the development of the transport industry

Abstract

In the context of the digital transformation of the global economy, the development of the transport industry is acquiring a new vector, characterized by the active introduction of digital technologies. The digital economy affects all aspects of the transport system, from improving the efficiency of logistics processes to ensuring the safety and sustainability of transport routes. The introduction of technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), blockchain, big data and artificial intelligence allows us to automate many processes, minimize risks and increase the transparency of supply chains. These innovations help to speed up the transfer of information, improve monitoring and forecasting, which is important for timely and high-quality customer service.The digitalization of the transport industry also stimulates its adaptation to changing market needs and increases the competitiveness of companies. For example, the use of data analysis and forecasting systems allows for better management of transport flows, optimize routes and reduce operating costs. Blockchain technologies increase security and trust in information, eliminating the possibility of counterfeiting and fraud, which is especially important inthe context of globalization and increasing cross-border transportation. Digital technologies also ensure increased environmental friendliness of transport processes, helping to reduce emissions and switch to alternative energy sources.Thus, the digital economy is becoming a key driver of innovation in the transport industry, transforming working methods and opening up new prospects for its sustainable and efficient development.
