Synopsis:

The role of transport in the modern world is difficult to overestimate, as it is essential for organizing the movement of goods and freight, as well as solving population mobility issues. The introduction of intelligent technologies in transport and logistics is linked to areas such as AI, the Internet of Things, big data, and others. The integration of these technologies into transport and logistics management processes helps reduce the negative impact on the environment and implement the ESG (environmental, social, and governance) concept to achieve sustainable development goals and rational resource consumption. The role of transport as a strategic priority in addressing the geopolitical and socioeconomic development of each country, ensuring national security, and improving living standards is growing. An efficient transport system is a prerequisite for the development of international trade. To ensure the efficiency of transportation and related technological operations, intelligent technologies are used throughout all stages of goods movement. The transition to the fifth industrial revolution, with its emphasis on human-centric systems, digitalization, and the Internet of Things, is impossible without sustainable processes in transportation and transport system management. The use of new technologies and the digitalization of processes will enable us to move toward the concept of “Logistics 5.0”.

Topics:

According to a study by Global Industry Analysis and Forecast, the implementation of environmentally friendly technical and technological systems in the automotive industry will reduce raw material consumption by 98%, save 83% on energy, lower finished product costs by up to 40%, and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by up to 87%.
