On the introduction of digital solutions and automation in the railway industry (the development of safety and train automatic-driving systems within an integrated technical solution, machine vision technology and virtual coupling) and the development strategy through 2026 — in an interview with Andrey Romanchikov, TMH Managing Director for the Development of Intelligent Control Systems and General Director of TMH-Intelligent Systems: https://tmholding.ru/media/article/18847.html

«The introduction of digital solutions and automation is now a key tool for improving efficiency for carriers and, accordingly, one of the main factors giving rolling stock manufacturers an advantage over competitors. Whoever offers the most effective technologies for equipment automation, diagnostic accuracy, transportation efficiency, and comprehensive solutions becomes the leader. Transmashholding (TMH), Russia's largest rolling stock manufacturer and one of the world's top 5, is actively working in this direction.» — said Andrey Romanchikov, TMH Managing Director for the Development of Intelligent Control Systems and General Director of TMH-Intelligent Systems (TMH-IS, formerly LokoTech-Signal), speaking to ROLLINGSTOCK about the development of digital solutions.

«—How is the new "Bort" locomotive safety system developing?« «- We have now agreed with Russian Railways (RZD) and NIIAS on a roadmap for developing the next generation of these systems. The software will come from RZD, while the platform and hardware are ours. The modern system will have a modular architecture and expandable functionality. Integration with the automatic-driving system will be implemented in the best possible way, allowing the driver to use a single monitor. Equipment reliability indicators will be significantly improved. "Bort" will perform its functions on any sections: with automatic or semi-automatic block signaling, as well as when organizing train movement with moving block sections.»
