STAGES OF TRANSPORT CORRIDOR DEVELOPMENT: MECHANISATION, ROBOTISATION, INTELLECTUALISATION AND DIGITALISATION PERSPECTIVES

The aim of the article is to investigate perspectives transport corridors digitalisation. subject study rail freight transport. authors use Theory Inventive Problem Solving (TIPS) methodology, which forms basis industry development stages: mechanisation, intellectualisation, robotisation (automation) and transition from one stage another shown by comparison between two documents significant importance for Eurasian transport: Agreement on International Goods Transport Rail Convention concerning Carriage (CIM-COTIF). They are fundamentally different at stages mechanisation that makes digitisation international impracticable. clearly identifies factors preventing digitalisation, as well ways its neutralising. research proves a fully digitalised will represent an isolated system, aimed meeting most predicted part human demands. presents digitalisation model. state modern automation has not yet approached pipeline only mode closely reached digital frontier. Railway also favourable prerequisites perspectives.
