In just a year, this innovative and comfortable space has become a hub for creating the transport of the future.
The Center’s specialists have successfully:
🔹 Launched Russia’s first autonomous tram. This fall, it will begin regular passenger service on its route.
🔹 Started preparations for the launch of a driverless metro train. The first phase, scheduled for 2025, will study the process of movement, stops, and the opening and closing of doors.
🔹 Developed technology for a driverless police boat capable of automatically detecting violations on Moscow’s rivers.
🔹 Tested automatic activation of online top-ups for the Troika card and the Moscow resident card, as well as the virtual Troika in Russia’s first ticketing system laboratory.
In May 2024, Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin opened the Advanced Development Center in the Kuntsevo district. Here, professionals with experience in leading Russian and international companies are introducing the latest innovations to the city’s transport system. The Center has become not only an IT cluster for breakthrough projects, but also an asset to the district — a place to gain new knowledge and exchange experience. Since its opening, more than 30 lectures have been held here, with over 1,200 participants. The most popular topics included the creation of navigation systems, the development of passenger services, and the history of the capital’s transport, — added Maksim Liksutov.
The Center for Advanced Development is truly shaping the future of Moscow’s urban mobility!
