In 2019, the Railways will conduct testing of unmanned trains in the Moscow Central ring. This was told to the edition “RIA Novosti” with reference to the representative of the company.
In the future we plan to use unmanned trains to the Moscow Central diameters (IDC) and suburban trains in the Moscow region.
The representative of the Russian Railways told reporters: “In 2019 with the purpose of the test will be organized the first experimental trip of the electric train at the ICC in fully automatic mode, of course, without passengers, but with the engineer in the cab to control the movement of trains and operation of the system.”
