Currently, advanced countries are introducing smart technologies in all spheres of life, which contribute to increasing returns on fixed assets, labor productivity, reducing transaction costs, favoring the pace of economic development and a quality of life for the population. This is confirmed by the positive experience of a number of countries-leaders in economic and advanced technologies . The paper defines a concept of intelligent transport systems to specify focal points for their implementation. The study aims at determining the effects of innovative technologies in the transport industry on the socio-economic development of a country and its particular region. To achieve the goal, the article uses the methods of statistical, comparative and correlation analysis. Currently, intelligent transport systems are developed only in certain regions, due to the reasons explained in the article. However, the introduction of advanced technologies permitted large agglomerations to achieve positive results in short periods. The research confirmed a direct link between the introduction of intelligent transport systems and increased budgetary revenues by an example of a metropolis. The main priorities of transport development in Russia until 2030 are highlighted. The authors demonstrate a relation between intelligent technologies and key indicators of socio-economic development. The paper shows the level of competitiveness of the Russian transport infrastructure in comparison with the leading countries and identifies the factors hindering systematic implementation of intelligent systems in the Russian Federation.
