THE IMPACT OF DIGITALIZATION ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE TRANSPORT AND LOGISTICS INDUSTRY

The article reveals the nature and mechanisms of the digital economy’s influence on the development of the transport industry. The relevance of the study of the problems of digitalization in the field of transport is determined by several factors. Firstly, the use of digital technologies in the field of transport is particularly evident: this makes it easier to understand the nature of the digitalization process. Secondly, the efficiency of using the latest technological achievements that determine the competitiveness of transport companies, and in this context, the study of the impact of digital technologies on production processes in this area is of practical interest. The purpose of the research of this topic is to identify the most significant manifestations, trends and the nature of the impact of digitalization on the transport industry. The authors of the study sought to generalize the existing views on the specifics of such an impact, its orientation. They identified the main components of the process of digitalization of the economy and determined that they have the greatest impact on the transport industry. The article analyzes the current experience of digitalization of transport, the consequences of this process. Also in this article, the authors presented their forecast for the further development of the processes of digitalization of transport. An analysis of the literature on the problem of digitalization in the transport sector was also carried out, the main problems that have not yet been solved were identified. As a result of the study, the authors found that the objective need of the transport industry for new innovative developments is very high. The economic effect that the introduction of digital technologies in the transport industry brings is obvious. Savings are achieved by reducing non-targeted costs, increasing control and manageability of the system. Currently, a lot of experience has been accumulated in the world practice on the introduction of digital technologies in transport: the introduction of remote control, the introduction of integrated automation, integrated technologies, as well as intelligent control systems.
