Abstract. The current paper deals with the study of forensic prevention as a key approach to prevent transport-related fraud. There have been considered various types of fraudulent acts within the transport sector and analyzed modern methods used to commit and conceal them. There have been substantiated the role of forensic activity in detecting latent signs of staged incidents, document falsification, and digital traces during the early stages of criminal activity. There have been systematized forensic methodologies used to prevent and suppress insurance fraud, as well as schemes involving tickets, freight transport, car-sharing, and taxi services. There have been identified key challenges, and proposed measures to improve forensic preventive efforts in the context of transport digitalization.
Keywords: transport fraud; insurance fraud; digital traces; automotive forensic examination; forensic technical examination of documents.
