Abstract

At the beginning of the XXI century there was a significant change in the development of digital technologies and their rapid introduction into the economy. The transformation of innovative technologies in the field of information and communication has led to the concept “Digital economy”. The digital economy is a modern type of economy characterized by the predominant role of data and methods of their managing as a main resource in the sphere of production, distribution, exchange and consumption. The transition to a digital economy has led to the emergence of the term “digital logistics”. Digital transport logistics is based on the use of modern information technologies, methods and conceptual computer modeling of the supply chain, which virtualize transport resources in order to optimize the development of this field of activity. Current trends in transport development lead to the transformation of digital logistics, aimed at implementing new requirements for the level of service and quality of cargo transportation. The article aims to analyze the role of digitalization and the intellectual information use in the management of transport processes, it describes the advantages of implementing digital technologies and also examples of digital transformation of transport and logistics companies are given. It is shown that digitalization affects all transport and logistics companies and it is the subject of economic relations between the state and business. It is proved that digital transport logistics is one of the digital economy key tools, which allows not only to optimize the processes of cargo transportation in modern conditions, but also to significantly reduce costs in the transport and logistics industry.
