DIGITALIZATION OF CONTAINER TRANSPORT BY RAIL AS A NEW STAGE OF LOGISTICS DEVELOPMENT IN RUSSIA

Abstract

The work is devoted to solving the problem of the insufficient level of digitalization of logistics industry, in particular, container transportation on Russian railways. The aim of the work is to determine the level of development of IT integration in railway transport based on consideration of one of the most modern trends - cloud services or “marketplaces. Today, in order to maintain positions in the cargo transportation market, it is necessary to develop digital services. Russian rail transportation market has always been conservative. To change it, it is necessary to introduce innovative developments actively: new IT services that are not on the container market yet. The paper proposes to work out the issue of using mathematical modeling of each cell of the transport process, including the collection of transportation video analytics, to create a "transport marketplace" from various data groups based on cloud technology. The implementation of these proposals will help to track cargo, speed up logistics processes and become a new driver for business, thereby saving time and money on paperwork and storage, faster customs operations with cargo.
