Blockchain Technology in Transportation as a Part of the Efficiency in Industry 4.0 Strategy

The research is directed to the design of the theoretical bases. They prove the application relevance of smart approaches in transport logistics. The article explains the advantages of using blockchain technology during products transportation according to Industry 4.0 Strategy. The analysis of application history of various systems at cryptocurrencies transaction allowed to mark out main risks at the launch of the described network. The space of relations for participants of transport logistics was constructed. It is regulated by the principles of a blockchain. The main results of blockchain functioning were included in the table according to the offered smart principles for the regulation of financial and business relations. The main implementation conditions of a similar project are defined. The criterion for finding the best option of a blockchain network is presented in mathematical form. The principles of the constant exchange of information between databases are established and schematically described. They will allow supporting a system in the working state and increase efficiency. The main condition of blockchain technology development is mathematically formalized at its realization in the transportation process of goods according to Industry 4.0 Strategy. The best option must be chosen according to the submitted recommendatory table. The offered criteria are the first step for the definition of blockchain network which will meet completely all requirements for a successful project start.
