Conceptual, Organisational and Technological Solutions for Development of Digital Platforms for Managing Transportation along International Transport Corridors

Creation and development of ecosystems in the field of transport and logistics is inextricably linked with development of digital platforms that integrate information exchange processes and ensure interaction of participants in these business ecosystems. In this context, modern business ecosystems in the field of transport and logistics are becoming a new form of organising participants in the transportation process (participants in the supply chain), and digital platforms underlying them are becoming a digital tool for ensuring their coordination and effective management.
Currently, development of digital platforms within the framework of building business ecosystems in transport and logistics, including international transport corridors, is taking place in the EU states, several Asian states, as well as in the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). The implementation of these projects requires the development of scientifically based approaches in terms of determining the principles for building these digital platforms, as well as of the development of organisational and technological solutions to ensure their creation and operation.
The objective of the study presented in the framework of this article was to study organisational, technological and legal issues of multimodal transportation along international transport corridors (ITC), aimed at developing conceptual, organisational and technological solutions that ensure construction, operation and development of digital platforms for managing transportation along the ITC, corresponding to the real needs of the transport and logistics system, the current legal norms, the modern and future developments of digital technologies in transport industry.
The authors of the article proposed a set of refined principles for formation of digital platforms to ensure development of international transport corridors, including within the ecosystem of digital transport corridors of the EAEU. The study has resulted in development of top-level architectural solutions, key parameters of information exchange between digital platforms of the ecosystem of digital transport corridors of the EAEU as part of the project currently being implemented to form a digital platform of international transport corridors.
