Abstract

The study is devoted to a systemic analysis of the contemporary methodology of cross-border transportation, in which instruments of spatial macro-modeling, the contours of digital transformation, and principles of sustainable development are integrated. The period of 2024–2025, marked by pronounced turbulence in the global trade and transport architecture and by instability in routing, intensifies the need to abandon inertial linear management schemes in favor of adaptive ecosystem-based models capable of promptly recalibrating the parameters of coordination and flow allocation. Within the framework of the work, approaches to weakening the barrier effect of state borders are examined through the deployment of technological solutions of Industry 4.0, including artificial intelligence algorithms, distributed ledgers based on blockchain approaches, and Internet of Things infrastructures that ensure end-to-end observability and operational consistency. A central place is occupied by an analysis of Eurasian transport corridors, including the International North–South Transport Corridor and the Middle Corridor, with an emphasis on comparing their operational effectiveness, capacity constraints, and geopolitical role in the reconfiguring logistics of interregional trade. The methodological toolkit employed includes evaluative Petri nets as a formal instrument for describing the dynamics of freight flows, identifying bottlenecks, and testing scenario robustness under changes in network parameters, as well as stochastic risk-assessment methods for territories with elevated conflict potential, which make it possible to account for the probabilistic nature of disruptions, delays, and route redistribution. The results obtained indicate that coupling digital management instruments with green standards generates a synergy effect: cost rationalization is achieved while simultaneously strengthening the long-term resilience of supply chains, expressed in increased adaptability, transparency, and capacity for recovery after external shocks. The conclusions presented are oriented toward the professional communities of logistics, international relations, and public administration, for which the priority is the introduction of innovative mechanisms into the practice of cross-border interaction.
