Korea Rail Network Authority shares smart traffic management expertise with Tajikistan

[Financial News] The Korea Rail Network Authority shared its experience operating AI-based intersections and using traffic data with officials responsible for transport policy in Tajikistan. The training was part of an official development assistance (ODA) project supporting the development of a smart urban transport plan for Dushanbe City.
The authority said on the 9th that it had invited senior officials from Tajikistan’s Ministry of Transport, Dushanbe City and other relevant agencies to take part in transport policy training from the 1st to the 7th.
The “Tajikistan Dushanbe Smart Mobility Development Project” aims to develop an urban transport master plan and a detailed smart mobility plan, and to establish strategies for efficient transport operations and management. The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport is implementing the project, which was commissioned by the International Contractors Association of Korea. It runs from June 24 this year through June 23, 2028, and is valued at about 2.737 billion won.
The training included lectures on transport infrastructure financing strategies, AI-based smart intersection operation technologies, and integrated management of urban transport data. Participants also visited the Gyeonggi-do Transportation Information Center and the Seoul Transport Operation and Information Service (TOPIS), and took a ride on the Ui-Sinseol Line. The trainees examined examples of how traffic information is collected, analyzed and used, and explored policies and operational measures that could be applied in Dushanbe City.
During the training, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and Dushanbe City signed a Record of Discussion (RoD) for the project’s implementation.
Korea Rail Network Authority Chairman Jeong Jin-hyeok said, “Based on our accumulated experience and expertise in building transport infrastructure, we will not only actively support the successful implementation of this project but also continue to expand cooperation in global transport infrastructure markets, including Tajikistan.”
