Prof. WOJCIECH PAPROCKI received the Ph.D and Dr .Hab. degrees from the SGH Warsaw School of Economics. In 2005, he received the title of Professor. Since 2019, he has been the Director of the Institute of Infrastructure, Transport, and Mobility. The main fields of his research interests include services in the sectors of logistics and mobility, development and implementation of digital technologies including narrow artificial intelligence, and management tools inside the concept of Industry 4.0. He is an author of three books, chapters, and articles.
The virtual airport hub business model is an innovative solution supported by digital technologies; the implementation of which in continental air transport may lead to a reduction in energy consumption and to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. The prerequisites for the implementation of the described solution are as follows: striving to implement the GHG emission reduction strategy laid out in the Paris Agreement (2015) and the European Green Deal (2019) as well as the EU digitalization strategy (2020). The use of predictive analytics to identify the mobility needs of population and operational capabilities of the sector gives an opportunity to plan travel flows and to create an appropriate set of direct connections among regional airports every day. The results of the analysis of data from 2019 on the amount of energy consumption and GHG emissions indicate that in Europe, it would be possible to achieve reduce GHG emissions by 5% without reducing the number of passengers using air transport. The study was prepared after conducting literature studies, data analysis, and using the method of formulating scenarios. The proposed solution has the features of an innovative business model, the implementation of which allows for obtaining more favorable effects using already available resources.

The idea of Industry 4.0 was presented for the first time in 2011 by Henning Kagermann, former top manager of the SAP company. He suggested that different processes in production of goods can be coordinated in large-sized networks. One of the most important tools becomes the Internet of things (IoT). The implementation of IoT takes place not only in the production but also in the procedures which are used in the supply chains on the global market. Transport and logistics operators have started the development and implementation of IoT within their companies as well as outside of them. An important part of new solutions involves the data exchange between the transport vehicles and objects in their environment—particularly in public transport infrastructure which this paper addresses. Firstly, an overview is provided on multiple reports published by research institutes and market players. Secondly, this paper presents solutions that were implemented before 2016. The analysis provides a description of the challenge in modern transport systems and a discussion of possible actions for transport and logistics operators who aim to keep or improve their market position. Additionally, another part of the paper analyzes the impact on the market of transport and value-added services by the implementation of autonomous vehicles and the new generation of robots by transport and logistics operators. The main conclusion is the recommendation to promote closer cooperation between research institutes and market players as well as public authorities. It will be the best way to increase the efficiency of the development process of new technologies, which can be implemented by transport and logistics operators in the medium-term future.

EU transport policy represents an element of European economic strategy aimed at boosting growth in the single market. Among the goods and services that are traded in the market are international road transport services. The adoption of regulations on minimum wage (MiLoG law) by Germany’s parliament forces transport companies headquartered outside Germany to pay no less than the German minimum wage to their drivers performing work on German territory. This legislation therefore breaches the EU principle of free movement goods and services and compels non-German transport undertakings to align their employees’ pay to German rather than their native country’s economic conditions. Arguably, the very fact that it was possible for a member state to introduce a regulation such as the MiLoG law should be seen as a EU transport policy failure.
