Minister of Transport and Infrastructure Abdulkadir Uralogluimplemented on railways artificial intelligence He evaluated the based technologies. Stating that the State Railways of the Republic of Turkey (TCDD) has made a great transformation in railway transportation with its investments in digitalization and artificial intelligence -based technologies, Minister Uraloğlu said, “We accelerated the integration of artificial intelligence with domestic and national solutions to make Türkiye’s railway network suitable for the digital age.” He said.
AUTOMATIC TRAIN Artificial Intelligence Period in the Inspection Station and Railways
Stating that the automatic train inspection station (OTMİ) system developed in cooperation with TCDD-TUBITAK is a revolutionary step in railway safety and care processes, Uraloğlu emphasized that this system was integrated with artificial intelligence and continued as follows:
“In the past, while trains are examined with manual controls in care workshops, all critical components can be analyzed while in motion thanks to her OTMİ. This system, which is equipped with artificial intelligence -based image processing and sensor systems, scans each part of the train in detail.”
Thanks to this technology, Uraloğlu said that wheel wear, errors on the brake discs, axle bearing temperatures, load imbalances and other mechanical components are analyzed in real time. We also improve the maintenance processes by providing remote follow -up and analysis on Turkey.
Smart solutions in maintenance processes
In order to monitor the railway infrastructure continuously and to manage the maintenance processes more effectively, the predictive maintenance systems are also expanded Uraloğlu, “Railway vehicles equipped with special sensors, possible fractures and cracks in the rails, collapses and electrification systems by determining the defects in advance.
Artificial Intelligence Supported Traffic and Security Management
Minister Uraloğlu emphasized that safety is one of the biggest priorities in railway transportation and that artificial intelligence -supported security solutions have been commissioned. “Artificial intelligence -based analysis systems follow the facial movements of the machineists, the closure time of the eyelids and the head position by following the distraction and warnings when necessary.” He made a statement.
YHT lines are constantly controlled at Eryaman Monitoring Center
Stating that the YHT lines of the Eryaman Monitoring Center, which was commissioned in order to increase security and manage the operations uninterruptedly, are continuously controlled by YHT lines, Uraloğlu said, “In this center, critical infrastructures such as tunnels, bridges, culverts and viaducts are monitored 24/7 through smart cameras and sensors.” he said.
In the Eryaman Monitoring Center, Uraloğlu said that natural disasters such as wind, flood and earthquake were scanned instantly and risk assessment. The processes are optimized. ” He said.
Future Railway Technologies: Autonomic Trains and Digitalization
Uraloğlu made evaluations about the future of railways, autonomous trains and artificial intelligence -based signaling systems will become widespread in the coming years, he said. “Thanks to the lowest energy consumption of energy thanks to artificial intelligence -supported energy management systems, Uraloglu will provide maximum efficiency with the lowest energy consumption. This will both reduce carbon emissions and reduce operating costs.” He said.
Finally, in order to increase the passenger experience, personalized services will be supported with artificial intelligence -based systems Uraloğlu, “Smart assistants and chatbots will analyze the needs of passengers and offer the most appropriate travel plans. Passenger comfort, digitalization will be moved to a much more advanced point,” he said.
