Blockchain Technology for Transport and Logistics Systems
摘要
The modern economy involves the use of digital technologies and computer processing of logistics information when choosing routes and transport. In modern transportation logistics, computer processing of initial data (orders, cargo parameters, vehicle fleet, etc.) is necessary when selecting optimal routes and transport. This is due to the ever-increasing volumes of data on the state of control objects and their changes. The data arrive to the transportation control center in a “closed” form from satellites, and manual processing of such a flow of information becomes labor-intensive, which leads to a loss of efficiency of the decisions made and an increase in the number of errors. A possible solution to this problem in logistics systems may be the introduction of blockchain technology, which has a positive impact on solving key problems of supply chain management, including reliability, stability and flexibility of the supply chain. In this regard, the development of modeling apparatus in logistics is relevant for the development of methodological tools for the implementation of blockchain technology in the activities of small enterprises. The main purpose of the study is to present for discussion an information and economic model of the logistics process, on the basis of which it can optimize the work of an enterprise that operates in the field of transport logistics.
