Cognitive analysis of locomotive control automation in different countries of the world

Abstract

Automation of freight train management will help reduce the number of employees involved in traffic management, reduce the costs of railway companies associated with paying wages to employees, increase profits and increase competitive advantages over other modes of transport.Within the framework of technical progress for the development of railway technology, the automation of rolling stock control systems in the current period is one of the essential tasks. In the transport sector of the national economy, the development of unmanned movement technology is observed due to the introduction of an automatic control system, which should ensure the safety, conduct and control of the train, monitor the free path, identify and handle emergency situations. It is of great importance to create modern digital platforms that improve the safety and efficiency of transportation.The article discusses the maximum levels of automation of control of main-line freight trains and shunting locomotives, which some countries of the world have managed to achieve.
