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.

Abstract Sustainable development of cities around the world is a means of providing a high quality of city environment and living standards of the population. One of the main aspects of sustainable development of city infrastructure is social stability, which involves among others the criteria of transport safety and reliability. Nowadays transport infrastructure objects, especially in big cities, are in focus of increased attention from the safety and security arrangement point of view. Provided that, the purpose of the paper is to develop a mechanism of continuous monitoring, testing and improvement of transport safety system in order to provide its ability to adequately respond to new challenges of the environment. The paper describes an approach to the development of safety system and emergency situations management, based on the concept of “enterprise architecture”. The approach involves analysis and testing of existing safety and emergency regulations and personnel instructions using a specific simulation software, and further correction of the regulations and instructions basing on the results of the analysis. The proposed approach was tested in Saint Petersburg Underground (Russia). Such kind of approach potentially could be implemented into practice of not only underground transport systems, but for other types of transport enterprises as well.

Purpose: The Arctic is of interest for many states and commercial organizations as it has a large undiscovered potential but very challenging climate and logistical condi-tions. Arctic maritime logistics need significant investments in infrastructure and is supposed to cause a minimal impact on the environment during port operations and cargo transit by creating efficient and safe supply chains. At the same time, ensuring the most efficient, reliable and safe functioning of supply chains is required. Methodology: The methodological basis of the paper is the analysis and structuring of existing publications on Arctic maritime logistics, a systematic review and formu-lation an applied system of relevant performance indicators related to Arctic supply chains (e.g. ice conditions, vessels and their parameters, the safe operation of float-ing production facilities and properties of ports). Findings: The result of this paper is a systematic overview of the current state of re-search on Arctic maritime logistics challenges and the influencing key performance indicators as well as approaches to assess the performance at all stages of the Arctic supply chain to facility and improve Arctic supply chains in the future. Originality: The originality of the study is defined by the scope of the review con-ducted. It is the first comprehensive overview over Arctic supply chains covering all relevant countries from a maritime logistics standpoint. The results of this paper cre-ate a solid foundation for further research in the area of developments of Arctic mar-itime logistics.

Purpose: The current study purpose is preparation of proposals for the creation of digital services platforms, which could be provided on the Northern Sea Route as an international maritime transport corridor, on the basis of an existing maritime container industry e-platforms analysis, as well as on the basis of the transport market participants requirements for the composition and characteristics of services. Methodology: The problem is considered in terms of the Enterprise Architecture approach. This study uses TOGAF and the Capability Driven Approach (CDA), a modern approach to the information systems development. These approaches help in analyzing the peculiarities of global e-platforms from the perspective of aggregating the enterprise architecture components into a business capability and provide foundation for the suggested tools determination. Findings: Conducted studies suggest that the digital business ecosystems development is now widespread in the maritime container shipping industry, and e-platforms are an effective tool to ensure their performance. With the help of EA and CDA, it is possible to formulate proposals for e-platforms, based on the synthesis of transport market participants requirements. Originality: The NSR development as international transport corridor along with benefits at the same time is controversial for carriers for a number of reasons, including the need of the NSR competitiveness increase by providing service at the level usual for carriers. The results of this paper create a foundation for further researches of digital services development in Arctic maritime logistics.

As Russian economy is still largely oriented on commodities production, there are a lot of cities where mining and commodity-oriented enterprises are the backbone of city economy. The mentioned enterprises mostly define the life quality of citizens in such cities, thus there are high requirements for engineering of city-forming enterprises. The paper describes the enterprise architecture approach for management system engineering of the mining enterprises. The paper contains the model of the mining enterprise architecture, the approach to the development and implementation of an integrated management system based on the concept of enterprise architecture and the structure of information systems and information technology infrastructure of the mining enterprise.

Goal: To develop a systematic methodology for decision support in the analysis of the market (for example, the IT market). The analysis of the market of information and communication technologies of the Russian Federation and the adoption of an effective management decision on the choice of IT companies for possible investment. Based on the research conducted, it is possible to make an effective management decision to select an IT company for possible investment, as well as to choose the direction of development and strategy of the company's IT.
