Introduction. Over the past ten years, the digital technologies have changed more than over the past fifty years. This opens up new opportunities and poses challenges for a number of industries, transport included. This, in its turn, requires incorporating innovative solutions for digital transformations to be introduced into the transport sector operation and proceeding with the Intelligent Transport Systems, hereinafter the ITS, establishment and operation. Main issues of the transport sector at its current stage include as follows: enhancing traffic safety, fighting traffic congestion, delays due to mobility issues, road traffic capacity issues, environmental damages, deteriorated quality of life etc. All of that coupled with the growing impacts of logistics and multimodal carriage of passengers and freight require both innovative solutions in the management systems and developments in the technologies extending their application of digital solutions.
Digitalisation refers to the routine integrating digital technologies into the society's everyday life featuring the shift from analogue world to the digital communications and their multiple apps. The current stage holds the shifting from wide use and the Internet and Internet-technologies integration into operation processes and human life that would entail an era to be emerged, namely the Digital Society and Digital Economy Era employing digital infrastructure much further than as a supplementary contribution.
Findings of the study. For all the transport sector industries the digitalisation would entail, as appropriate, shifting towards the ITS deployment that would include the set of procedures, systems
and applications enabling to enhance personal mobility, carriage of passengers and freight. The ITS's cover a wide range of wireless and wired communications based on electronic technologies. When integrated into the transport infrastructure and into the vehicles as such, these technologies enable to essentially unload, enhance safety and productivity of, the transport system in general.
Development and deployment of the ITS across the world is an efficient innovative business already now facilitating the solutions for a number of social and economic problems and the implementation of the counter-crisis measures. Moreover, the insight into transport system development documents suggests the ITS's have become compulsory in drafting strategic, political and program targeting documents of the developed countries.
To this end, the EU, in order to achieve full digitalisation of its economy by 2010, adopted the EU Digital Agenda (the Digital Agenda for Europe), which targets and tasks were set out up to 2020 [1]. The Digital Agenda for Europe represents one of the seven forward-looking initiatives of the Europe 2020 Strategy for growth and jobs aimed at better use of the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). It shall align European policies in the ICT. The Digital Agenda aims at implementing the EU's Digital Single Market providing modern high-speed networks and compatible software, thus contributing to the sustainable economic and social growth [2].
Most of the EU countries consider it as a framework document and adopt relevant National Programs for the Development of Digital Society for 1 to 3 years setting short-term and long-term priority targets and indicators of meeting those targets. The following states have developed their plans for implementing broadband connection: Czech Republic (Digital Czech Republic); France (National Programme for Very High Speed Broadband); Slovak Republic (National Strategy for Broadband Access in the Slovak Republic). Certain countries (Sweden, Germany1, and Austria) have launched the adjustment of their national plan target indicators to the new target indicators of the EU broadband connection for 2025.
Within the framework of the EU Digital Agenda, the European Union adopted the Digital Single Market Strategy aimed at opening up the digital opportunities for people and businesses and strengthening the Europe's world-leading position in the digital economy [3]. The framework of this Program provided for the investments amounting to 300 bln Euro for 7 years.
In order to visualize its digital economy, the EU developed Digital Transformation Scoreboard measuring the EU and member states productivity over a wide range of areas, from communication and digital skills to business and public services digitalization. The Digital Transformation Scoreboard provides the data of Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI), as well as of the Europe's Digital Progress Report (EDPR).
Germany is a leader of EU transport digitalisation viewing the concept of Digital Transport as an Industry 4.0 component and focusing its effort on the four targets:
1. Transport infrastructure and logistics chains (warehouses, logistics hubs, railways etc.) digitalization:
a) establishment of the intellectual component for transport infrastructure (Logistik 4.0); this includes automating warehouse operations, automated workplace management in line with the Lean Manufacture principles.
b) logistics chains optimization by means of automated transport system which provides self-sustaining interaction of a warehouse with the order consolidation department. This goes beyond cost reduction only speeding up the delivery of goods to the final consumer.
2. Introducing industrial robotics as a key component for ensuring self-sustaining operation of the warehouse and logistics activities. Equipping the automated transport components with robot manipulators constitutes one of the objectives.
3. Management systems automation. Shifting towards brand new requirements to management systems is ongoing. Examples may include a variety of electronic assistants providing control over the decisions to be adopted. SAP company offers the software enabling the material flow planning and management systems interaction by means of wireless connection. Such technologies ensure best combination and stock of resources. Similar optimization applies to the process of vehicles accounting, mileage efficiency monitoring, and motor vehicles technical performance.
4. Automatic pilot systems (platooning) means simultaneous driverless movement of motor vehicles united into caravans (up to 10 motor vehicles) by means of wireless (WiFi) connection2.
1 Germany has adopted already the second Program designed to cover the period of 2017 to 2022.
2 Automatic pilot systems (platooning) means simultaneous driverless movement of motor vehicles united into caravans (up to 10 motor vehicles) by means of wireless (WiFi) connection.
Poland established its Digitalisation Ministry (Ministerstwo Cyfyzacji), its activities to focus exclusively on the implementation of modern technologies with the view of facilitating the following: contacts with the Governments and civil servants, establishment and operation of business in Poland. In December 2014, under the framework of Europe 2020 strategy implementation, Poland adopted the Operational Programme Digital Poland for 2014 to 2020. The Program aims at enhancing digital funds for national development. Key priority targets for the digitalisation of economy as defined include as follows: general access to high-quality Internet, e-government and digital competences of the society [4].
In that regard, Point 8.5 of the Operational Programme Digital Poland for 2014 to 2020 emphasizes that the frameworks of this Program shall review the above targets only, whereas such issues as supporting the EU position of a world leader in the area of science, maintaining industrial leadership of the European businesses in the field of innovations and resolving issues in the areas that are the most important for the Europeans such as the climate change and demographic changes, sustainable transport and mobility or increasing the availability of renewable energy sources, will be subject to review within the framework of the Operational Programme Smart Growth.
The follow-up reviews key approaches towards defining the ITS. Due to the lack of a single worldwide approach towards defining the ITS components we have considered several definitions and classifications by recognized international and supra-national organizations.
Accordingly, the Research and Innovative Technology Administration (RITA) [5] classifies ITS into the following sub-categories: Intelligent Infrastructure and Intelligent Vehicles.
The Intelligent Infrastructure includes as follows:
• Arterial management (road traffic surveillance and control, traffic lane management, parking management, data transfer, compliance with road traffic rules).
• Highway traffic management (road traffic surveillance and management at entering the road, traffic lane management, emergency response, transport management, data transfer, compliance with road traffic rules).
• Accident prevention and road safety (informing of the road dimensions, pedestrian safety, alert system notifying of railway crossing; collisions; cyclists and animals).
• Traffic management subject to road weather conditions (control, monitoring and forecasting weather conditions, data transfer, advisory strategies, traffic management, management strategies, interpretation strategies).
• Operation and use of the roads (data collection and transfer, surveillance, operational space management).
• Carriage management (vehicle fleet management, data transfer, transport demand management, safety and security).
• Road events management (detection and control, mobilization and response, data transfer, obstacles removal and traffic resume).
• Emergency response management (first aid, emergency technical support and traffic resume).
• Electronic payments (fare, parking fee, multi-functional payment system, pricing system).
• Information for travellers (trip data, route data, tourism and events).
• Data management (backups).
• Commercial transport operation (administrating permits, ensuring safety, electronic screening, carriers and fleet management).
• Intermodal freight transportation (tracking of freights, security, fr eight terminal operation, carriage fee, freight motorways interconnection system, border crossing international processes).
Intelligent Vehicles include as follows:
• Collision avoidance system (obstacle detection, assisting in changing traffic lanes, traffic lane warnings; roll-over warning; warnings on drive-away; risk of collision; rear collision).
• Driver-assistance systems (navigation, dispatcher-to-driver connection, enhanced vision, objects detection, Adaptive Cruise Control, smart speed management, assistance in keeping traffic lane, roll-over prevention system, drowsy driver alert system, precision of coupling, mating / unmating, on-board monitoring).
• Collision alert (automatic alert in the event of collision).
According to the classification proposed by the World Road Association (PIARC) [6], the ITS includes 32 user services, conventionally grouped into 8 categories:
1. road traffic management: supporting transport planning; road traffic management; emergency traffic management; transport requirements management; road traffic management policy; infrastructure technical operation management;
2. information for travellers: pre-travel information; on-ride info for drivers; real-time traffic info for public transport; customized information; road guidance and navigation;
3. vehicle systems: enhanced identification; vehicle automated management; front collision avoidance; lateral collision avoidance; safety systems; accident avoidance systems;
4. commercial vehicles: preliminary custom operations for commercial transport; administrative processes for commercial transport; administrative roads safety inspections; commercial vehicles safety monitoring; commercial fleet management;
5. public transport: public transport management; on-request transport management; combined transport management;
6. emergency response management: hazard alarm and personal safety; emergency and rescue transport management; hazardous cargo; incident prevention;
7. electronic payments: electronic financial transactions;
8. safety: safety in general transport; safety for disabled persons; intelligent crossroads.
The key principles for putting the EU Intelligent Transport System in operation in the EU were established by the European Parliament and the Council of Europe on July 7, 2010 in their approved Directive 2010/40/EU [7]. The Directive defined the term 'Intelligent Transport Systems' as the program which applies information and communication technologies in the field of: 1) road transport, including infrastructure, vehicles and users; 2) traffic management and mobility management, as well as for interfaces with the other modes of transport. The Directive established compulsory conditions for the efficient EU-wide deployment of ITS.
EU sets out the following priority areas for the ITS development: 1) optimal use of road, traffic and travel data; 2) continuity of traffic and freight management, 3) ITS road safety and security applications, 4) linking the vehicle with the transport infrastructure.
Pursuant to the EasyWay European Global Program for 2007 to 2020 the following Projects were implemented: I EasyWay Projects (2007 to 2009) and II EasyWay Projects (2010 to 2012) as financed by the European Commission and constituting a part of this Program. EasyWay I and II are the Projects for deploying the Pan-European systems and services of ITS in the TEN-T road network and its interfaces with urban districts and other modes of transport. Both the EasyWay I and II were implemented by the national executive bodies governing the motor road issues in most of the EU member countries, as well as by public and private operators of roads and the associated partners closely cooperating with the other key stakeholders. As a key advantage, the EasyWay I and II have provided the unique European platform uniting the ministries, executive bodies governing the motor road issues and the road operators (both public and private) over all Europe facilitating closer ties between the key stakeholders enabling them to exchange know-how, advanced experiences included, and develop the Deployment Guiding Principles that ensure coherent deployment of the ITS while supporting the European transport policy. Pursuant to the EasyWay European Global Program [8] the ITS shall be classified as follows:
• Road services providing comprehensive real-time road information for the travellers so as to enable taking reasonable decisions prior to a trip, as well as information during the trip.
• Traffic management services providing the traveller with navigation data, detecting unusual and emergency circumstances relating to safe and efficient use of the road network.
• Freight and logistics technologies aimed at optimizing productivity and efficiency of the freight transport by way of ensuring safe and easy access to the intermodal terminals (ports, railways and motorways etc.).
In Ukraine, the Ordinance of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 67-p of January 17 approved the Conception for Developing Digital Economy and Society in Ukraine for 2018 to 2020 and adopted the Action Plan Implementing the Conception, which aimed, inter alia, at determining the indices, indicators and methods for assessing the digital development of Ukraine according to the international practices, and pursuant to this Plan the ministries and bodies concerned shall facilitate the digital development. In November 2017, the Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine established the Digitalization and Cyber Safety Industry Centre Daughter Company as a state enterprise [9]. The latter aims at implementing the cyber protection, digitalization and IT development programs, developing thereof, rapid response to the incidents related to the attempts of intervention into corporate, institutional and public IT systems operating in the transport industry. Moreover, the Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine established the Transport Digital Infrastructure Directorate supervising relevant issues [10]. So far, there is no official definition of the ITS at legislative level developed in Ukraine.
The review of the ITS definitions as adopted by both the international organizations and supranational establishments enables to deduce that the ITS development would be critical for providing the
end-users with information from the systems controlling road situation in real-time mode and the opportunity for different operators at the national or cross-border level to ensure the compatibility and continuity of the services to be provided on the basis of unification of data as provided by the systems in use.
Therefore, the Intelligent Transport System as an integrated system corresponds to the following concept: transport infrastructure - vehicles - user. An innovative solution for transport issues would rather not deal with a transport management system to be developed focusing on the development of such transport systems which have their means of communication, control and management originally incorporated in the vehicles and relevant infrastructure facilities. To this end, the management opportunities (decision-making) based on the real-time data to be received in such systems are not restricted to the transport operators only being available to all the users of transport and management systems as a whole.
According to the ITS concept we have, by parity of reasoning, specified three functional blocks: I. Transport Infrastructure, II. Vehicles, Ill. User (Fig. 1). Each blocks, in it turn, splits into 5 systems of transport sector digital development indicators, as follows: 1.1. E-Logistik, 1.2. Smart roads, II. 1. Vehicles management and monitoring, 111.1. Safety management, Ill. 2. Mobile apps. The systems of indicators as listed split into 18 functional subsystems representing both modern and envisaged transformation processes for digitalization in transport with the view of ensuring their success in the future. Each of the 18 subsystems has the relevant transport sector digital transformation indicators as set out that enable monitoring the transformation developments, holding assessments of digital transformations in progress that would constitute a basis for decision-making on ensuring the success for digital transformations in the transport industry.
According to the specific indicators of digital transformation development in transport sector, we have selected the possible indicators for assessing those transformations for transport sector (Table. 1-3). The system of indicators as established constitutes one of the ways for resolving challenges related to the development of statistical database for digital transformations in the transport industry facilitating the monitoring to be carried out for the transport industry transformation developments.
The follow-up briefly reviews the key indicators for each ITS block. Introduction of electronic logistics and smart roads development constitute the indicators of transport infrastructure intelligence.

I. Transport Infrastructure (Table 1).
E-Logistics is the process governing anything related to on-line market. The key difference between logistics and electronic logistics lies in the fact that the classic logistics deal with planning, holding and controlling the supplies and stocks of commodities, services and relevant information, whereas the electronic logistics aims at applying Internet technologies for common logistics processes, that is, automation and digitalization of the logistics workflow. The processes inherent in electronic logistics include as follows: electronic payments; verifying product availability; arranging supplies; insurance; refilling stocks in logistics systems; contacting clients; arranging return of goods etc [11].
Smart Road means the one incorporating intellect and latest scientific achievements. It shall ensure safety, communication, and comfort. At the level of a regular user, the Smart Road shall help avoiding mistakes, adopting optimal route decisions and enjoying the use. At the macro-level, the Smart Road network shall ensure even flow of traffic, road users observing the applicable rules, big data and analytics collection, timely re-distribution of flows, weighing during the ride etc [12].

Conclusions. The ITS development is of strategic nature as this determines competitiveness for each country in general at the world market. Besides, as long as transport sector is critical for implementing most of the services related to trading, production, construction, the ITS may offer their solutions for a range of transport tasks which are capable of improving the intelligent use of the existing capacity and infrastructure, reduce losses of energy and resources through more efficient use of the transport system as a whole. Last but not least, the efficiency delivered by the ITS relates, as a rule, to the productivity of macroeconomic systems and, therefore, provides for the growing multiplier effect.
The review of EU Digital Agenda and other high level documents demonstrates that most of the EU countries consider it as a framework document and adopt their relevant National Programs for the Development of Digital Society for 1 to 3 years setting short-term and long-term priority targets and indicators of meeting those targets.
The review of Intelligent Transport System definitions and classifications as adopted by both the international organizations and the supranational establishments enables to deduce that the Intelligent Transport System as an integrated system corresponds to the following concept: transport infrastructure -vehicles - user, and the ITS digital infrastructure development would be critical for providing the end-users with information from the systems controlling road situation in real-time mode and the opportunity for different operators at the national or cross-border level to ensure the compatibility and continuity of the services to be provided on the basis of unification of data as provided by the systems in use.
According to the ITS concept we have, by parity of reasoning, specified three functional blocks: I. Transport Infrastructure, II. Vehicles, Ill. User, each, in their turn, spiting into 5 systems of transport sector digital development indicators as follows: 1.1. E-Logistik, 1.2. Smart roads, II. 1. Vehicles management and monitoring, 111.1. Safety management, Ill. 2. Mobile apps. The systems of indicators as listed split into 18 functional subsystems representing both modern and envisaged transformation processes for digitalization in transport with the view of ensuring their success in the future. Each of the 18 subsystems has the relevant transport sector digital transformation indicators as proposed that enable monitoring the transformation developments, holding assessments of digital transformations in progress that would constitute a basis for decision-making on ensuring the success for digital transformations in the transport industry.
The proposed system of indicators, based on the transport digital transformation systems as specified, is ongoing and could be updated with other indices as the transport sector digital transformations
are unfolding. Considering the modern trends in the world as regards the growing infiltration of the digital
technologies into all the spheres of human activities, the system in question goes beyond its use for
monitoring of the above processes only being readily available for the management activity routines.
