KTZ has introduced its own digital technologies to improve train safety

04-06-2024

The KTZ Traffic Safety Department and the KTZ branch, the Main Computer Center, have developed the Automated Traffic Safety System and the Info Center information complex.

The automated system “Traffic Safety” (AS TS) consists of two modules: the automated system “Traffic Safety Auditor” (AS TSA) and the automated system “Traffic Safety Risk Analysis” (AS RA).

AS RA was put into permanent operation in 2016 and replaced the Automated Workplace “Inspector” system. Thanks to this, information on traffic safety on the KTZ network over the past 10 years has been preserved. The automated system “Traffic Safety Risk Analysis” was developed this year. It analyzes and evaluates risks based on statistical data on deviations.

AS TS allows you to eliminate the human factor, paperwork, and optimize the work of specialists. In addition, the system quickly processes information from different regions of the country and objectively assesses the degree of risk arising for the safety of train traffic. In real time, KTZ management has the opportunity to obtain information about the state of traffic safety by road departments and individual units of all levels of management.

The information complex “Info-Center” is designed to inform managers of KTZ and railway departments with up-to-date data on operational work, the condition of rolling stock, infrastructure and traffic safety.

The complex provides real-time visualization of railway sections and displays data from all systems in the form of interactive dashboards. For ease of perception of information, a color indication of the implementation/non-fulfillment of the plan, reduction/increase in traffic safety violations is provided.

To date, trial operation of the complex has been completed in the Kyzylorda, Aktobe, Shymkent, and Kostanay freight transportation departments. Work is underway to replicate it to other branches and the corporate level of KTZ.
