ENHANCING THE ENVIRONMENTAL EFFICIENCY OF IT SOLUTIONS IN THE RAILWAY SECTOR FOR SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURE

Abstract

This article addresses the issues of improving environmental efficiency through the implementation of information technology (IT) solutions in the railway transport sector. In the context of a developing digital economy, the concept of transport infrastructure sustainability and minimal environmental impact occupies an important place. The study analyzes the possibilities of reducing energy consumption, minimizing waste, and ensuring environmental safety through intelligent monitoring, digital dispatching, artificial intelligence-based energy control, and automated maintenance systems in the railway system. Additionally, the experiences of foreign scholars, the European Union's Green Rail Transport Initiative program, and the advantages of the Digital Railway concept being implemented in Uzbekistan's conditions are examined. The article scientifically illuminates the role of IT technologies in forming sustainable transport infrastructure and their strategic importance in ensuring environmental efficiency.
