Formation of an information and training ecosystem of a traffic control training center

Digital technologies are reshaping many branches of transport, logistics, including the learning process. Digitalization is considered as the use of digital technologies to update and diversify the learning process. The training center is a mock-up of a railway consisting of ten stations, where the workplaces of the operational staff of the organization of train traffic are organized, two levels of traffic control are implemented: station and dispatcher. The layout has many objects and affects many railway transport technologies. The article discusses the creation of a digital ecosystem of the “B.P. Beshchev Training Center Traffic Control”, for this purpose the following tasks are solved: systematization of information about the objects of the training center; placement of information on University resources; providing open access to information via direct links. This will make it possible to organize the educational process in a new way, students will instantly have access to information about the objects and work that they need to organize in business games and laboratory work. It is proposed to use already well-known digital solutions, such as the classification of educational center facilities, the use of an “Information and Educational Environment”, as well as direct links when using modern mobile devices using QR codes.
