DISTANTLY PILOTED AIRCRAFTS AND THE TRACK SECURITY
Abstract
The terrorist attacks attempts executed in Russia and abroad as well as probability of their repetition at high speed railways make it necessary to reinforce the measures of counteraction to those threats. The measures of control of the zone of tracks are engineered, including air monitoring and aerial photography, in order to ensure security of train traffic, to prevent possible acts of sabotage, immediate detection of explosive devices. The article is devoted to one of these measures, namely to remotely piloted aircrafts with optical sensors. The authors substantiate their advantages, demonstrate the results of the pilot researches, and offer comparison between airplane and helicopter type aircrafts, used for monitoring.
