Implementing an energy harvesting technology within the concept of Smart city

Smart city is a global goal of big cities, it is an emerging concept, which requires different research activities in many different directions to create an urban infrastructure and, what is even more important, transform minds. The topic of energetics is one of the baseline directions for creating Smart city infrastructure. The concept of energy harvesting becomes in this term quite important and deserves specific attention. This research paper is aiming to highlight an energy harvesting problem in the context of smart city and to make an attempt to propose a potential solution, a technology to be implemented to tackle that problem

Participation of citizens in sustainable development of big cities

The modern world is too densely populated, which prevents the lack of energy, the consequences of greenhouse gas emissions, the accumulation of hazardous waste, the use of toxic production methods. Without involving interested citizens, business representatives, and local authorities in solving these problems, it is not possible to solve the emerging problems. The article provides an overview of the existing ways of citizens' participation in solving environmental problems and ensuring sustainable development in large cities. In addition, some examples of real work being done in this direction are considered

The challenges of the logistics industry in the era of digital transformation

Digital transformation has a significant impact on the development of such an important sector of the economy as logistics. All major economic trends are traced in logistics, and basic digital technologies are already being used. At the same time, there are certain obstacles to the effective development of digital logistics. For example, there is a lack of informational integration of supply chains. This article systematizes information about the state of digital transformation in logistics, about the main trends, applied technologies, analyzes it, simulates the digital logistics ecosystem, identifies stakeholders, drivers of digital logistics transformation, requirements for the development of the industry. Based on this, the main lines of action to improve the efficiency of logistics activities in the context of digital transformation are formulated. The implementation of the proposed actions requires the integrated use of technology and a specialized mathematical apparatus. The integrated actions of participants in the digital logistics ecosystem will ensure the required role of logistics in integrated economic development

Business Intelligence Systems Application in Transport and Logistics Companies

In a digital economy where rapid changes in the internal and external business environment occur, mistakes in making strategic decisions can have dire consequences for a company. Today, many large companies use full-fledged BI systems to support (strategic) management decisions, which combine many sources of information. These digital systems provide analyses of huge amounts of information, focusing on important indicators, allowing the prediction and simulation of various scenarios, providing aid in decision-making. This article describes digital business intelligence systems and specifically what role they play in transport logistics. The authors highlight the key advantages of using business analysis systems in enterprises. The research results highlight the main challenges that BI systems can solve in digital transport and logistics companies. Moreover, a map of the main directions of BI functions in logistics is provided. A list of key performance indicators in tabular form is provided, which can be analyzed and reflected upon in an analytical reporting system. The main methods deployed are benchmarking and clustering
