Alexander Dmitrenko presented the experience of NPS Group in preparing infrastructure for the launch of unmanned transport, highly rated Moscow's readiness, and also spoke about the measures that need to be taken to develop urban mobility.
"The task of public transport is to deliver passengers timely and safely. To do this, you need to minimize all the factors that can negatively affect this. If no man participates in the control process, the infrastructure should be even more reliable and as safe as possible. Our systems can timely detect equipment pre-alarm states, and are also protected from external cyber attacks," Alexander Dmitrenko said.
Thanks to the joint work with the Moscow Department of Transport, Russia's first unmanned tram is about to transport its first passengers. Points along the route are switched with no driver involved thanks to the digital engineering and production system of Natsproektstroy Companies. Automation system also monitors all the parameters of the equipment, including weather conditions: when it snows, the system activates heating of devices.
