RAIL TRANSPORT PROJECT MANAGEMENT IN THE CONTEXT OF GLOBALIZATION AND DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION OF THE ECONOMY

The paper discusses the issues of rail transport project management in the framework of globalization and digital transformation of the economy. The author notes that infrastructure projects on railway transport have high capital intensity, complex engineering, technical, organizational and legal structures. The implementation of such projects requires the use of professional experience and knowledge in the field of attracting investments, application of public-private partnership mechanisms, taking into account industry features of infrastructure facilities and project management, and digital orientation of the modern economy. Deep transformations caused by the processes of digitalization of the world economy require a new vision of problems, innovative forms and methods of economic activity to improve the efficiency of the implementation of transport infrastructure projects. The globalization of the economy is an objective process that encompasses all aspects of society, opening up new opportunities for individual and group interaction. Globalization requires new "rules of the game" and values influencing the activity of transport organizations, creating new mechanisms of interaction between economic and social development. All of these requires from transport organizations innovation, flexibility and the ability to adapt to the new economic environment of the world economy. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the aspects of project management in the railway transport related to the development of the information society and the widespread use of information and communication technologies in the context of globalization and the digital transformation of the economy.
