PROJECTS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF AUTOMATIC TRAIN CONTROL SYSTEMS

The article considers projects aimed at improving and adapting the elements of the automatic train control system. The projects such as TAURO, CLUG, RAILGAP, Sensors4Rails, RAILS, URV are described. The analysis of the presented projects and Russian technological developments is carried out. The main directions of the projects are aimed at ensuring the safe use of unmanned trains on railway transport, the use of artificial intelligence technologies, high-precision positioning systems and vision systems. Research in these areas by international and domestic manufacturing and scientific and technological companies makes it possible to create modern and highly intelligent control systems based on software and hardware and complexes necessary for the organization of automatic control of train traffic.
