Ulaştırma ve Altyapı Bakanı Abdulkadir Uraloglu, in the State Railways of the Republic of Türkiye (TCDD) They accelerated the digital transformation process and focused on the integration of artificial intelligence with domestic-national solutions. stated. Used in railways Automatic Train Inspection Stations (OTMI) Uraloğlu said that maintenance processes have become faster and more effective, Railway safety is increased with artificial intelligence-supported systems He stressed.
Revolutionizing Railways with Automatic Train Inspection Station
Developed in collaboration with TCDD and TÜBİTAK Automatic Train Inspection Station (OTMI), Minimizes human errors by digitizing train maintenance processesAccording to Uraloğlu's statements, this system is enabling analysis on the go It enables faults to be detected in advance.
Previously Manual maintenance checks, Now sensors and artificial intelligence-based image processing technologies is carried out with. Wheel wear, brake disc defects, axle bearing temperatures and load imbalances Critical elements such as are scanned instantly. Artificial intelligence, evaluates the collected data and warns maintenance teams in advance and thus possible accidents are prevented.
Thanks to this system:
-
Train service continuity is maximized.
-
Costs are reduced with predictable maintenance processes.
-
Railway lines are becoming safer with remote monitoring and analysis possibilities.
AI-Assisted Maintenance and Security Management
Minister Uraloğlu, Continuous monitoring of railway infrastructure and effective management of maintenance processes a predictive maintenance systems stated that they have disseminated it. Railway vehicles equipped with special sensors, It detects cracks, collapses in the rails and faults in electrification systems in advance, allowing intervention before malfunctions occur..
The second reason to use the AI-based systems that measure the attention level of machinists Security is maximized by activating these systems:
-
It detects distraction by analyzing the facial movements of the machinists.
-
It detects sleepiness by monitoring the duration of eyelid closure and head position.
-
It prevents accidents by sending instant warnings when necessary.
Thanks to these technologies, both Employee safety is ensured as well as Reducing the safety risk in rail transport.
Eryaman Monitoring Center: Uninterrupted Control on High Speed Train Lines
Uraloğlu, Türkiye's Eryaman Monitoring Center has been put into operation for the security of High Speed Train (YHT) lines. announced. This center, by monitoring critical railway infrastructures 7/24 through smart cameras and sensors instantly assesses risks.
Thanks to Eryaman Monitoring Center:
-
Tunnels, bridges and viaducts are constantly monitored.
-
Risks that may be posed by natural disasters such as wind, flood and earthquake are analyzed instantly.
-
With remote monitoring technology, any problems occurring on the lines can be quickly intervened.
This system, It minimizes potential infrastructure problems by optimizing maintenance processes with early warning mechanisms..
Autonomous Trains and Digitalization in Railways
Minister Uraloğlu, Türkiye will switch to autonomous trains and artificial intelligence-based signaling systems in railway transportation stated. Autonomous trains, will reduce carbon emissions by providing maximum efficiency with minimum energy consumption.
And also, AI-based smart assistants and chatbots will be introduced to improve passenger experience.These systems:
-
It will analyze passengers' travel habits and offer the most suitable ticket options.
-
It will make journeys more efficient by suggesting alternative routes based on current traffic data.
-
It will increase customer satisfaction with fast and personalized services.
Türkiye Becomes a Pioneer in Railway Digitalization
Turkey, By rapidly integrating artificial intelligence technologies in railway transportation with local and national solutions entered a period of major transformation. Automatic Train Inspection Stations, predictive maintenance systems, artificial intelligence-supported safety management and autonomous train projects with Türkiye, is on its way to becoming one of the pioneering countries in modern railway technologies..
Thanks to these digitalization moves:
- Safety is being increased in railway transportation.
- Maintenance processes are accelerated and costs are reduced.
- Line security is ensured through remote monitoring and artificial intelligence-supported analysis.
- Energy efficiency and passenger comfort are maximized.
These steps taken by the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure, It will enable Türkiye to reach a point where it can compete globally in railways..
