Abstract
The main objectives set by the Russian government for Russia's sustainable development until 2030 now require ambitious and concerted action at the national, regional and global levels. For example, we can mention the strategy of the Russian Railways holding company within the framework of the Digital Transformation developed on the basis of the national Digital Economy programme. Today, the company is presenting several initiative platforms that should take the entire holding company to the new digital level. One of the main components of the direction of digitalization of railway transport is the digital railway model. This paper considers one of the options for creating a digital model of the railway track using an unmanned aerial vehicle, which was used in a graduation project commissioned by the Novosibirsk Centre for Diagnostics and Monitoring of Infrastructure Devices. The article describes the relevance of using unmanned aerial vehicles and the main ways of building a digital model in terms of geodetic support. The main software products for processing of survey results are also considered. In order to systematize the process of creation of digital model of railway track the algorithm has been worked out which defines the order of activities during the stage of terrain survey, processing of the received data and filling the data base of digital model. The conclusion shows the future prospects of work with the digital model in terms of its filling with information from information systems that are used in the structural subdivisions of the Infrastructure Directorate and the prospects of using the digital model in solving tasks of railway track maintenance.
