The impact of digitalization on the efficiency of rail freight transportation

Abstract

Rail transport is a strategic element of the national economy, accounting for a significant share of domestic and international freight traffic. In the context of globalization and growing competition, digitization is becoming a key factor in improving transport efficiency, covering all stages of the logistics process — from planning to monitoring and analytics. Digital technologies make it possible to integrate transport systems into international logistics networks, improve customer service, and reduce costs for transport operators. However, the level of digital maturity of rail transport in Ukraine does not yet meet the requirements of the modern market, which necessitates scientific research in this area.
