The logistics of passenger transportation is an urgent area of development of the technology of organizing passenger transportation with the participation of railway transport. However, it is necessary to take into account the historical aspects of the development of logistics processes in passenger service. The article contains information about the main stages of the development of passenger transportation logistics, the terminology associated with these processes, as well as promising directions for the development of «seamless» passenger transportation.

The logistics processes underlying freight transportation are changing rapidly, driven by advances in information technology and unprecedented growth in consumer involvement in supply chains. This development is also driving changes in freight transportation flows across all modes of transportation. Understanding innovations in logistics is a prerequisite for the effective study of future freight flows and the design of the Transportation Strategy of the Russian Federation. The main purpose of this paper is to analyze these innovations and identify research needs in the field of freight modeling and product supply chain management. First of all, I would like to focus on four main dimensions of model improvement: structural elements of the modeled system, functional links between these elements, dynamic properties of models and principles of universal (optimal) logistics. All this will subsequently help in the management of product supply chains for all shippers and consignees, including the organization of internal and external logistics.

The purpose of this article is to clarify and supplement the theory and methodology of design, formation and management of components (value, novelty, product and/or service requirement) and objects (enterprise, relationships, business processes and flows) of management and to create prerequisites for the development of a prototype of a digital business chain management system. Methods of classification, synthesis, analysis, induction and deduction were chosen as research methods, and binary matrices formed on the basis of actual classification features of objects and components of business chain management, as well as their dichotomies, were used as a tool. The article substantiates the options, ciphers and codes of business chain management components are proposed; variants of the sequence of management of binary components in business chains are developed; variants are justified, ciphers and codes of binary business chain management objects are proposed; an algorithm for managing binary components in business chains using management objects is developed. The implementation of the results obtained will make it possible to effectively respond to the changing values of end users of products and/or services; create prerequisites for improving the quality of management decisions in business chains, reduce the loss of lost profits of chain links of this type, as wellas create theoretical and methodological prerequisites for digitalization of business chains and data chain management systems. The originality of the study is confirmed by the use of a matrix approach to the design and digitalization of components and management objects, which is based on their actual qualitative features and dichotomies, which allow us to obtain «2х» variants of these objects and components, assign them binary codes processed using management software.

The article examines the experience of developing the transport and logistics system of the countries of Southeast Asia (Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand) with an already developed logistics system and conditions similar to Vietnam, as well as an analysis of the reasons for success and limitations in their development. The concept of development of the logistics system (LS) of Vietnam is presented. This paper proposes an approach to optimizing the placement of a LC network and develops a simulation model for its formation, as well as assessing the economic efficiency of the LC network in Vietnam.

The presented scientific article examines innovative approaches to logistics risk management in the Republic of Kazakhstan using examples and statistical data. Approaches such as the use of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, data analytics and machine learning, digitalization and automation of processes, as well as hybrid logistics models are considered in the context of their advantages and disadvantages. Specific examples of the integration of each approach into the practice of companies in the Republic of Kazakhstan and statistical data on the effectiveness of their implementation are given. The prospects of innovative approaches in logistics in Kazakhstan are discussed, challenges and contradictions are identified, and the need for balancing between the needs of business, society and the state in order to achieve sustainable development of logistics systems is pointed out.
