Konstantin Khromushkin, Managing Director of the Signaling and Telemechanics Division of Natsproektstroy, spoke at the plenary session of the "PRO//Motion. Movement. Transport Control Systems" exhibition.
In his speech, he emphasized that proactive efforts on production localization has given NPS companies almost total independence from foreign suppliers. The holding is developing its own technology platform, which includes traffic management systems, automation devices, software and hardware based on proprietary electronic components.
"The platform-based approach to building train traffic control infrastructure allows us to scale developments rapidly while ensuring their compatibility and independence from foreign technologies," said Konstantin Khromushkin.
Among key industry trends, Konstantin Khromushkin mentioned a systemic transition from process automation to process intellectualization. He also stressed the importance of developing domestic neural networks, as this will enable the creation of systems that can be trusted in decision-making.
"Building solutions with a ready-to-go agent created in China is easier and faster. But we must ask ourselves: what data was fed in such an environment at early training stage, and what consequences will this have in the future? Therefore, we are developing our own solutions in cooperation with MFTI. Today, our intelligent module can handle any task related to operational scheduling, conflict resolution, and providing dispatcher recommendations," said Konstantin Khromushkin.
