This paper deals with issues related to the use of digital technologies and, in particular, RFID technology, in railway transport. In the course of the study, we analyzed its advantages and disadvantages. The introduction of RFID technology in the transport process will reduce costs while increasing the prestige and safety of railway transport, which will positively affect the competitiveness of railway transportation. For that purpose, the economic effect of its introduction in railway transport was determined. © 2021 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
