Description
Summary:Introduction. The paper considers aspects of practical application of the “Internet of things” technology in the transport industry. The logistics problem of transporting empty containers is solved. The technology of container transportation in an urbanized environment is presented. The influence of the proposed technology on the environmental safety of transportation in the urban environment is considered.Problem Statement. The purpose of this study is to solve the logistics problem of transporting empty containers using the “Internet of things” technology, and to estimate the technology influence on the environmental safety.Theoretical Part. The technology is based on the smart container which is being developed. It can automatically fold and unfold and is controlled via a mobile app. It also allows you to remotely monitor the parameters of cargo transportation using built-in sensors. The reduction of harmful substances emissions while reducing the number of unproductive runs of transport as a result of the use of transformer containers is evaluated according to the criteria for reducing the mass consumption of harmful substances.Conclusions. A new package product called "SmarBoxCity" is a unique and unparalleled product of the Fourth technical revolution. Its implementation makes it possible to improve the environmental safety of transport by reducing the emission of pollutants by 18.2 %.
