KTZ summed up the results of its work to ensure traffic safety in 2024 As a result of a set of measures aimed at improving control and prevention, the number of safety violations was reduced by 15% by 2023. The traffic safety target was improved by 14%. In 2024, special attention was paid to preventive measures.
Auditors of the KTZ Traffic Safety Department conducted more than 9 thousand inspections, which revealed more than 100 thousand non-conformities. As a result, more than 20 thousand measures were taken to stop the operation of rolling stock and infrastructure devices with low reliability.
To motivate staff, more than 200 employees were rewarded for preventing violations and improving traffic safety indicators. New departmental awards were introduced, which became an important incentive for employees to comply with safety standards. Automation of traffic safety through diagnostics and control In 2024, an important achievement was the improvement of the condition of railway tracks.
Diagnostic tools (diagnostic cars and flaw detection trolleys) measured more than 460 thousand kilometers of track, which is 19 thousand kilometers more than in 2023. This made it possible to identify more than 4 thousand kilometers with unsatisfactory condition.
A decrease in the number of such sections by 395 km and a significant decrease in the number of acutely defective rails and sections with grade 4 faults demonstrate systematic work to prevent emergency situations. In 2024, using 614 KTSM (Complex of technical means for monitoring the condition of rolling stock), more than 5 million units of rolling stock (cars and locomotives) were monitored, which is 60 thousand units more than in 2023.
The number of stopped cars with faulty parts, such as roller and cassette axle boxes, increased by 15% to 2.5 thousand cars. As part of the process improvement, the functionality of the "Traffic Safety Auditor" system was significantly improved, which allows real-time information on the state of safety at all management levels.
The system provides data on the results of audit checks and safety violations over the past 10 years, which allows determining the depth of problems and drawing appropriate conclusions for making management decisions. In 2024, the Traffic Safety Auditor system was supplemented with new output analysis forms, which provide more detailed data on inspections and violations by structural divisions.
A total of 18 new forms were added, which facilitates more accurate monitoring of the situation in the field of traffic safety. An important step was the implementation of the automated system "Risk Analysis for Traffic Safety", which allows for more accurate calculation of the impact of various risk factors on the safety of train traffic.
The system displays the current level of risks and automatically provides information for drawing up corrective measures. In 2024, work was completed on integrating data from the "Traffic Safety Auditor" system and automating the processes of forming corrective measures for risk management, which made it possible to increase the efficiency of management decisions and improve risk monitoring.
In 2024, the Info-Center Information Complex, which monitors the condition of train sections, was supplemented with the Warnings, Track Diagnostics, and Passenger Transportation modules. They provide information on potential risks and help improve the analysis of the infrastructure condition and compliance with the passenger train schedule.
