ITS laboratory will appear at Kazan National Research Technical University

2021: Agreement on the Opening of the Laboratory of Intelligent Transport Systems

On September 24, 2021, SIMETRA announced the signing of a tripartite agreement on the opening of a laboratory of intelligent transport systems at the A. N. Tupolev Kazan National Research Technical University - KAI.

The partners of SIMETRA and KAI will be the State Budgetary Institution "Road Safety" and the Association of Transport Engineers.

Our joint project will contribute to the development of Russian science and the transport industry, the exchange of technologies and developments. The goal of the laboratory is not only the training of a galaxy of specialists, but also close cooperation in the field of fundamental and applied research with the subsequent introduction of innovative achievements in the production process, "said Rifkat Minnikhanov, director of the state budget institution" Road Safety. "

SIMETRA will give the university 100 academic licenses for software products for transport engineers. As a result, participants in the scientific laboratory will be able to build reliable transport models for visualization and testing of various scenarios using PTV Visum.

The creation of a laboratory for the development of ITS will strengthen our scientific and educational work and will provide graduates with knowledge. The regions of the Russian Federation are introducing ITS, so we can confidently say that the skills of our young specialists will be in demand. And the technological solutions provided by the SIMETRA team will help students in practice, in conditions as close as possible to reality, to practice their skills, "said Timur Alibayev, acting rector of the Kazan National Research Technical University named after A.N. Tupolev - KAI.

Simulating and visualizing the interaction of any views transport within a single model will help. ON Vissim Thanks to integration the tool system, Viswalk researchers will be able to model pedestrian traffic, which takes into account human psychology when walking. Assessing the effectiveness of the planned measures, choosing the most effective scenario and organizing the smooth passage of transport will help, PTV Vistro a comprehensive solution for analyzing traffic flows, assessing the effectiveness of projects and optimizing the mode of switching traffic lights.

Today, it is especially important to invest in the training of highly qualified transport engineers. The effectiveness of the development of the transport industry of Russia will depend on this. The creation of the ITS laboratory in Kazan will give us the opportunity to share with students all the experience that our team has accumulated over the long years of work, "added Vladimir Shvetsov, General Director of SIMETRA.

Under the terms of the agreement, SIMETRA will be able to employ graduates who have proved themselves during the training process and during production practices.
