Effectiveness of the Implementation of Information Technologies in Solving Problems of Transport and Logistics Sector

Abstract

AbstractThe process of transporting goods is one of the most important human needs, the efficiency of which is determined by the work of transport. Advances in information technology and management principles optimize traffic load on the road network, speed of delivery, quality of service, and operating costs. The use of information technology allows the elements of the transport system to promote effective communication. This study examines logistics processes in supply chain management, information technologies in management and the prospects for their use in the transport logistics segment, with special attention to the key factors affecting the efficiency of transportation, allowing data collection. These innovative tools for collecting traffic data open up new perspectives for assessing transport accessibility by providing high quality metrics that meet the requirements for use in transport planning. The main goal of this study is to provide an overview of information technologies applied to transport, allowing to work effectively in a competitive environment and improve the quality of service.KeywordsInformation technologyTransport systemGlobal positioning systemsFreight transport
