Efficiency of pilot transportation within the framework of the Intertran project

Abstract

Background: Nowadays, the transport industry is facing non-traditional challenges for it, such as the need for digitization of transport services, increasing the mobility of transportation and reducing dependence on paper technologies for its design. At the same time, at the moment, only rail transport demonstrates high-quality development to the market with a reorientation of the geography of services and plays an important strategic role in the development of the eastern polygon, offering exactly what shippers need: regular shipments, the shortest possible time and stable prices despite the global restructuring of markets and economic fluctuations.
 Objective: to determine the relationship between the expansion of the use of digital technology and the efficiency of the development of intermodal transport. We confirm that the Intertran project allows railway companies, seaports and regulatory authorities to interact effectively.
 Methods: the methodology of the study is based on the analysis of the order of electronic interaction between seaports and railways in the process of intermodal cargo transportation through seaports using electronic documents and data. The information base of the study is based on reports of Asian and European railway companies members of the International Union of Railways, Russian and foreign forwarding companies, as well as data from the Federal Customs Service of Russia and foreign customs authorities.
 Results: as a result of the research, the participation of JSC Russian Railways in the development of innovations and the digital market environment is justified, the procedure for processing documents in electronic form within the framework of the Intertran project using mobile workstations is determined, the effects of the organization of pilot cargo transportation within the project are determined, the need to expand the digital environment of trust between participants in transport and logistics processes is established.
 Conclusion: the study confirms that the basis for the effective development of the Intertran project and the interaction of railway companies, seaports and regulatory authorities is a set of actions aimed at electronic interaction of participants in the transportation process and further optimization of processing of technological operations.
