Experience and Perspectives of Transportation Process Control Automation for Rapid-Transit Transport of Urban Agglomerations

Abstract

The article analyses the technological process of transportation process organization and its control in different systems of urban agglomeration rapid-transit transport. It is presented the generalization of organization technological schemes of transportation process at the compilation of normative documents-schedules of: train traffic, rolling stock turnover, work of locomotive teams. Common features, allowing to share automation and digitization positive experience from one transport systems to another, are revealed. As a typical example for urban agglomeration rapid-transit transport, the work of Moscow Central Ring in data flow diagram notation is considered. It has been shown that the conditions of traffic planning on Moscow Central Ring are analogous to active ones on the subway ring lines. As generalizing notions, there are: mixing, non-parallelism, zoning, non-autonomy. Corresponding illustrative examples are given. Congested experience in the sphere of control automation for transportation process of rapid-transit transport of urban agglomeration is considered on the examples of railway section Nizhniy Novgorod – Uren’ as well as Kaluzhsko-Rizhskaya line of Moscow subway (electrodepots “Kaluzhskoye” and “Sviblovo”). The article describes initial data sets for to perform train traffic schedule, the purpose of its performance has been formulated, limitations, reflecting the links between objects, inside the set of given resources, and limitations, being defined by rules of passenger service, have been revealed. Analysis, pursued in the article, has shown the perspective directions of automated transport systems development on knowledge accumulated bases. As a result of the application of complex approach to the solution of automated control tasks at the use of artificial intelligence technologies and big databases usage, it’s planned to increase the efficiency usage for given resources set, train traffic schedule implementation percentage and others; to reduce information transfer error number as well as those, appeared as a result of negative human factor influence and so on.
