Abstract:

The article discusses the development of the regional integrated transport and logistics infrastructure (TLI) in the context of its digital transformation. It is shown that the main problem of this development is the lack of a comprehensive strategy. It has been proven that effective management of transport and logistics supply chains is possible only with the implementation of digital reform of TLI, with the construction of digital platforms that allow the formation of a new type of TLI with its own digital appearance. The basis for the digital transformation of TLI is the development of a digital ecosystem model based on industry transport standards, the outline of which is determined by the participants in the transport and logistics service system operating in the same territory. In this regard, the work presents a scheme of transport and logistics services for the region, highlighting the composition of its participants. A feature of the formation of the presented digital ecosystem model is the modular architecture of its construction, based on the levels of cross-industry interaction between participants in transport and logistics services. A logical sequence for the formation of a digital ecosystem of regional TLI is proposed, which is based on a platform approach that brings a change in the logic of technological and functional transportation processes in transport. The process of forming an ecosystem consists of building a number of modules depending on the level of interaction of participants under consideration. At the TLI enterprise level, a digital model is built consisting of a data factory and digital infrastructure. At the level of interaction between transport industry enterprises, a unified digital platform of the transport complex is being built. At the level of cross-industry interaction between transport and its users, a unified digital transport and production platform is being built in a single digital environment. Finally, at the level of interaction between all participants in transport and logistics services in the region, a digital ecosystem is being built based on digital information resources provided by government resources. The ecosystem is presented as an information system that unites all participants in transport and logistics services through the introduction of digital information resources into transport processes in a single information space. Recommendations are presented for further areas of research into the theory and methodology of digital transformation of TLI in the context of its interaction and transport cooperation with geopolitical partners and, on this basis, the formation of a cyber meta-ecosystem in the interstate information space.
