Russian Railways has experienced an unmanned train
Source:In recent years, increasing attention is paid to the development of unmanned vehicles. And if full use of driverless cars is still a lot of questions (primarily this is due to relatively dense urban traffic and the difficult predictability of the traffic situation), but with much more simple in this respect, things are much better. Moreover, unmanned trains already exist in our country. For example, one of these transports passengers between the terminals of the airport "Sheremetyevo". But recently in the Railways went ahead and tested Russia's first unmanned train.
Self-governing train developed by engineers of JSC «Railways» on the basis of the locomotive «Swallow». In the framework of International railway salon PRO//Motion the EXPO on the experimental railroad ring in the Moscow suburb of Shcherbinka his work showed the Deputy Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation Maxim Akimov and General Director – Chairman of the Board JSC «Railways» Oleg Belozerov. The first run was successful.
What we saw today is the result of a major technological breakthrough. Because it is made by our engineers in our technical centers, «Russian Railways» together with a large number of different partners, which carried out the delivery. The center of the Assembly performed here JSC «Russian Railways». , – commented on his impressions from a trip to Maxim Akimov.
Test check on the first Russian self-governing commuter train
To move automatically and «Swallow» installed special equipment to determine the position of the train, operate the railway infrastructure elements, communications to the control center and detect obstacles on the route. When detecting obstacles, the train will automatically slow down. Thus control of the train «intercept» at any time. From the cockpit this can make the driver. Also available to the operator of the control center. From there made and control over the operation of unmanned trains and security on the transportation route. The train is equipped with a complex navigation system, which allows it to track obstacles and either overcome them or to stop. During trials before the "Swallow" I put the dummy. The first train filed several warning signals, and then gradually slowed down.
In the next year RZD plans to conduct a series of tests for testing technology movement in automatic mode under the control of the operators at the Moscow Central Ring (CIP). True test trips with passengers on this stage will be. In the case of the success of this event drone «Swallow» may appear on the rails of the same ICC already in 2021.

Moreover, in addition to passenger transport in Railways also plan to develop and equip unmanned aerial vehicle navigation system freight locomotives. To do this, now there is a gradual equipping of rolling stock, infrastructure, stations and technological objects with special equipment for remote monitoring and traffic control.
In Addition, the head of the Russian Railways said that it is not necessary to worry that automation will deprive people of jobs. According to him, the work of machinists continues to be in demand, will simply change their functions. Instead of direct control, people will have to monitor the situation and to observe the work of electronics. They must be ready at any moment to take over in case of an emergency situation.
