ASTANA, Kazakhstan, December 9. Digital
transformation initiatives in Kazakhstan’s transport sector are
expected to increase the throughput capacity of highways by 20%,
Minister of Transport Nurlan Sauranbayev said during a government
meeting, Trend
reports via the government.
According to him, the Smart Cargo platform, launched in October,
has already integrated 30 government services. The platform
consolidates digital tools used by state bodies, and further
integration with 47 additional services from both the public and
private sectors is planned.
Smart Cargo facilitates real-time cargo tracking and provides
AI-powered assistants, as pointed out by Sauranbayev. It also
expands access to additional public services. Work is underway to
introduce a “Green Corridor,” which will allow the automatic
issuance of transit declarations for border crossings.
He added that the results of digitalization will have a
significant impact throughout the logistics ecosystem. Border
checkpoint crossing times for road transport are expected to be
reduced to around 10 minutes, while the use of artificial
intelligence will make train formation and planning six times
faster. Cargo handling times at airports will also be reduced to
one hour.
