Central Ring Road (TsKAD)

2023: The use of the innovative V2X system is being expanded at the smart Central Ring Road

The "single operator" in pilot mode will connect to the "smart" road a fleet of emergency commissars working at the Central Ring Road. Cars and the highway will be linked by V2X technology, which is a key element of smart roads. This is the first large-scale connected transport project in the Moscow region. To do this Avarkom cars are equipped with domestic V2X modules, technology is also integrated into a mobile application for emergency commissioners. This was announced on March 16, 2023 by representatives of the Telematics concern.

The use of the V2X system is expanded on the "smart" TsKAD

According to the company, cars are connected to a "smart" road using V2X technology (which literally means Vehicle-to-everything, that is, "a car connected to everything"). Thanks to this, they exchange information online with road infrastructure or with other machines. Thus the vehicle continuously analyzes the road situation both in close proximity and at a distant distance.

The company "Unified Operator," which operates the intelligent transport system of the Central Ring Road and provides assistance on the road, in pilot mode "connects to the road" cars of emergency commissioners carrying round-the-clock duty at the "smart" section of the Central Ring Road (from the Neva M-11 route to the Volga M-7). In 2022, a car equipped with such a V2X module passed the necessary tests at the Central Ring Road to launch the project, and in the near future the fleet of emergency commissioners will be equipped with devices with this technology.

The installed module is a domestic development of the Telematics concern. The V2X system is integrated into the mobile application on the vehicle screen of emergency commissioners and into the operator system of the Central Control Room, controlling road events at the Central Ring Road. If an emergency situation occurs on the road, it is automatically identified by the traffic control system and makes an appropriate mark on the map, information about the incident will go to the car screen. This optimizes the speed of informing emergency commissioners designed to help drivers on toll highways.

Thanks to the intelligent transport system, which is an integral part of the road infrastructure, centralized management and, of course, the effective work of emergency commissioners, the number of road accidents is reduced. In turn, the use of V2X technology will allow emergency commissioners to quickly receive information about what is happening on the highway in automatic mode. We hope that the launch of the pilot project will create the necessary basis for the further distribution of smart roads in Russia. noted Marcel Nigmetzyanov, CEO of Unified Operator

The central ring road is a large-scale infrastructure project in the Moscow region. The automated traffic control system (ASUDD) with video cameras connected to it, an incident detection system based on computer vision, transport detectors, dynamic information boards, weather stations is responsible for the safety and comfort of users of the highway. All this is necessary in order to carry out continuous traffic monitoring, unmistakable identification of accidents and foreign objects.

Data coming from cameras and sensors automatically launches the embedded scenarios, and road users are notified of the potential danger through information boards. As connected cars develop and autonomous vehicles become available, reports of incidents will arrive immediately on the car screen or in the drone control system. Coordination of the work of all systems is carried out from the Central Control Center, which in the future will manage not only the Central Ring Road, but also the highway M-12 Moscow - Nizhny Novgorod - Kazan as part of the West-East transport corridor.

2022

A domestic neural network that recognizes dirty numbers will be tested at the M-12 and Central Ring Road

The Unified Operator company (part of the Telematics concern) plans to connect domestic software with neural network elements to the recognition of dirty state registration plates (GRNZ) of cars in pilot mode . Recognition is ready to be tested at the beginning of 2023 at the Central Ring Road and on open sections of the M-12 highway . Read more here.

At the "smart" Central Ring Road for the first time tested a car connected to the road

At the "smart" Central Ring Road, tests were carried out on a connected car equipped with domestic V2X (Vehicle-To-Everything) equipment developed by the Telematics concern. This was announced on July 14, 2022 to TAdviser by representatives of the concern. Read more here.

2021

GLONASS JSC will take part in the launch of services for connected cars at the Central Ring Road

GLONASS JSC on September 16, 2021 announced that it will participate in the launch of innovative services for cars connected to the road infrastructure at the Central Ring Road. The parties have already signed an appropriate memorandum. Read more here.

Memorandum of "Business Lines" and "Avtodor" on testing the IT infrastructure at the Central Ring Road

Business Lines on September 15, 2021 announced that they had signed a memorandum with Avtodor on testing the IT infrastructure at the Central Ring Road. Read more here.

Launch of the world's first smart highway for unmanned vehicles in the Russian Federation

In May 2021, the concern "National Telematic Systems" (NTS) and "Avtodor" showed, according to them, the first intelligent road infrastructure in Russia. It is implemented within the framework of the Central Ring Road.

We have put into commercial operation the world's first intelligent road for all types of transport: traditional cars, connected cars and unmanned vehicles of the 4th and 5th level of autonomy. This is the world's first system of this class, implemented on public roads, - said Alexey Nashchekin, General Director of the NTS concern.

The world's first smart motorway for unmanned vehicles has been launched in Russia

Video cameras, weather stations and communication antennas are located throughout the Central Ring Road. Data on the road situation and information from devices on board cars are received at the Central Control Center of the Central Ring Road and are used to coordinate road services, send emergency commissioners and operate logistics services.

The smart road was originally designed to support unmanned traffic. The central control center in real time receives information about the location of drones, their technical condition and charge level. If necessary, dispatchers can adjust the route of unmanned vehicles - for example, send it to the nearest charging station.

The developers of such vehicles have already become interested in the infrastructure for unmanned vehicles: Evocargo plans to launch a logistics service on smart roads using unmanned electric trucks.

It is expected that elements of "smart roads" will be introduced on the routes M-12 Moscow "-" Nizhny Novgorod -, "" Kazan Kazan -, "" Yekaterinburg South-West Chord "(- - Ufa Togliatti Saratov - -), Volgograd Krasnodar in the" Southern Cluster "project, as well as on the routes of international logistics projects passing through the territory of Russia: transport corridors" North - South "and" East - West.
