Synopsis:

The role of transport in the modern world is difficult to overestimate, since without it, it is impossible to imagine the organization of the movement of goods and cargo, as well as the solution to the problems of population mobility. The introduction of Smart technologies in transport and logistics are associated with such areas as AI, IoT, Big Data and others. The introduction of these technologies in the processes of transport and logistics management allows us to reduce the negative impact on the environment and implement the ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) concept to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals and rational consumption of resources. The role of transport as a strategic priority in solving the problems of geopolitical, social and economic development of each country, ensuring national security and improving the standard of living of the population is increasing. An effective transport system is a prerequisite for the development of international trade. To ensure the efficiency of transportation and related technological operations when moving goods at all stages of transportation, intelligent technologies are used. The transition to the fourth industrial revolution, the concepts of digitalization and IoT cannot be realized without sustainable logistics. The use of new technologies and digitalization of processes will allow us to move to the concept of “Logistics 4.0.

Topics:

According to the Global Industry Analysis and Forecast research, introduction of the eco-friendly technical and technological systems into the automotive industry, will create an opportunity to reduce the consumption of raw materials by 98%; to save 83% of energy; decrease the cost of finished products up to 40% and carbon dioxide emissions up to 87%.
