The state corporation is expanding a network of digital transit shelters in the town of Udomlya.
In the town of Udomlya in Russia’s Tver region, home to the Kalinin Nuclear Power Plant, new high-tech bus shelters were installed in 2025. The rollout is part of a broader digital overhaul of the urban environment branded as “Smart Udomlya.”
Five modern shelters equipped with digital displays, surveillance cameras, Wi-Fi, and emergency communication systems are now operating on the city’s main streets.
Comfort and Safety for Residents
The project is the result of a partnership between Rosenergoatom Concern, the Udomlya municipal administration, and Rosatom Infrastructure Solutions. The digital shelters are designed as integrated elements of a unified city platform rather than simple weather canopies. Each is fitted with an emergency button that connects directly to the national 112 response service. Data from cameras and sensors is transmitted in real time into a centralized system, enabling continuous monitoring of urban infrastructure.
Udomlya district head Rem Richter also emphasized the importance of the partnership.
“We are deliberately moving from pilot digital services toward a comprehensive transformation of the urban environment. Smart transit shelters are a visible part of a much larger effort to build a comfortable, safe, and modern city in Udomlya.”
From Utility Fleet Monitoring to Citizen Feedback
What sets the Smart Udomlya project apart is its integrated design. Since 2020, the town has operated a unified Russian digital platform that brings together 11 different services, ranging from municipal vehicle monitoring to direct feedback from residents. Citizens have access to a mobile app with up-to-date transport schedules, while city officials use analytics and management tools.
As Russia’s largest producer of low-carbon energy, Rosatom is actively applying its expertise in IT and infrastructure to municipal projects. Similar initiatives, now underway in more than 200 cities from Murmansk to Sakhalin, demonstrate how advanced technologies can directly improve everyday life by creating safer and more convenient urban environments. The approach represents a practical contribution to the digital economy and a model for other countries seeking to modernize city infrastructure.
