Russian President Vladimir Putin and Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin have opened five stations on the Rublyovo-Arkhangelskaya metro line: Delovoy Tsentr, Shelepikha, Zvenigorodskaya, Narodnoye Opolcheniye, and Bulvar Generala Karbysheva. The section will be operated using Russian-made digital automation from Natsproektstroy companies.
The Dialog automated dispatching traffic control system was installed on the line — this is the first deployment of the system in the Moscow metro. The system enables remote monitoring of all equipment at stations and along the interstation tracks, warns of potential malfunctions, and tracks deviations from the schedule. Its advanced predictive diagnostics help reduce operating costs and improve reliability of the systems. All line performance data is sent in real time to the Central Dispatching Centre, from which operations are controlled.
All newly opened stations and interstation tracks feature the MPC-SM microprocessor-based interlocking system for controlling turnouts and signals. The system provides a full data exchange cycle with all devices in just 0.45 seconds, the fastest result in Russia and the CIS. Earlier, the MPC-SM system was installed at ZIL station on the Troitskaya line. In addition, digital power supply units, LED signals, and point machines have been installed on the section.
The Natsproektstroy's automation system does not depend on foreign components, and is protected against voltage fluctuations, moisture, and dust. Built-in cybersecurity features prevent unauthorised access to the equipment. Taken together, these measures guarantee the highest level of safety demanded for critical infrastructure.
The Rublyovo‑Arkhangelskaya line will ultimately connect the city's business heart — Moscow‑City, the SberCity innovation quarter, and the rapidly developing Krasnogorsk.
