Traffic has reopened on the renovated Mosfilmovskaya Street in the capital. Thanks to the reconstruction of the street and road network, access to social facilities and housing has been opened, and drivers can now choose alternative routes. This was announced by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Urban Development Policy and Construction. Vladimir Efimov.

"The extension of Mosfilmovskaya Street is a significant project for the Western Administrative District of the capital and its residents. The work took approximately two years. Four traffic lanes were created here, with access to the Southern Rokada—Aminyevskoye Highway and Lobachevsky Street. The section of Mosfilmovskaya Street runs over two new bridges, totaling 465 meters in length, offering picturesque views of the landscape reserve. In total, the project involved the construction and reconstruction of 6.4 kilometers of roads, the installation of 93.4 kilometers of utility lines, and the construction of a wastewater treatment plant," noted Vladimir Efimov.

Thirteen bridge piers were erected. Retaining walls with a total length of 225 meters were built on the approaches. The total area of the bridge structures is 85,700 square meters. One-meter-wide safety strips were installed along the edges of the roadway.

"To implement the project, we envisioned a unified stylistic solution suitable for residential development, creating a unique architectural and urban design. A meter-high railing with a solid infill of monolithic polycarbonate was erected on both sides of the bridge structure. Decorative screens made of flat metal cassettes with a bio-pattern and perforations were installed on the superstructure, concealing utility lines. Lighting masts with additional architectural lighting made of integrated LED strips were also installed," added the head of the Moscow Department of Construction, Transport and Engineering Infrastructure.

Vasily Desyatkov.

The extension of Mosfilmovskaya Street will improve transport accessibility for residents of the Ochakovo-Matveyevskoye and Ramenki districts, home to nearly 300,000 people, and will also reduce traffic congestion on General Dorokhov Avenue, Michurinsky Avenue, Aminyevskoye Highway, and Matveyevskaya Street.

Earlier, Sergei Sobyanin opened traffic on the new street and road network inRamenki district.

VR fitting room for the aircraft industry: Polytechnic University creates a cockpit simulator

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Scientists from Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University have registered an interactive simulator of a virtual hot air balloon gondola, developed on the Unity platform.

The program is designed to analyze cockpit design and ergonomics, opening up new possibilities for aircraft manufacturing and related high-tech industries. Designing aircraft cockpits requires attention to every detail. Any error in the arrangement of instruments or controls can impact pilot performance and flight safety. Traditionally, producing physical mockups for testing is time-consuming and expensive. The development by Polytechnic University scientists simplifies and reduces the cost of testing, enabling improvements to aircraft cockpit designs at the digital prototyping stage.

The app clearly demonstrates how virtual reality technology is moving from entertainment to essential tools for industry and science. For example, it was used to precisely digitize a real nacelle and create a virtual prototype, which can be used for interactive testing. The user (engineer, designer, pilot) is immersed in the virtual space, interacts with cockpit elements, and evaluates the convenience and logical layout of instruments and equipment. Any identified deficiencies can be quickly and cost-effectively addressed.

The program was developed to test a specific object—the gondola of Fyodor Konyukhov's hot air balloon. During his visit to the Polytechnic University, the famous explorer was able to Use augmented reality glasses to see the interior space and evaluate the cabin's ergonomics and express your suggestions for improving the design.

"We created a virtual replica of the hot air balloon gondola we designed for Fyodor Konyukhov so he could inspect it in virtual reality, check its ergonomics and usability, and suggest improvements. After receiving feedback, the engineers were able to make changes to the design," said Alexander Kuptsov, a junior research fellow at the Industrial Stream Data Processing Systems Laboratory at the St. Petersburg Polytechnical School of Engineering. "In other words, our program served as a tool for visually demonstrating and then easily communicating all the modifications for incorporation into the design."

The development has a wide range of applications in the engineering field and opens up prospects for further adaptation to specific needs.

"In general, these applications operate on a common principle—you could call it a VR dressing room, where we design an object and, before creating an expensive real-world mockup, add a virtual simulation, a digital twin, eliminate the most obvious errors, and the next prototype is already of higher quality," explained Alexander Kuptsov. "This is applicable, in principle, to any field that has a similar development cycle, and we can additionally integrate this preliminary verification stage."

This development represents a significant step in integrating virtual reality technologies into engineering design. SPbPU researchers have created unique algorithms for user interaction with virtual objects, focusing on precision rather than mere visualization, and have developed methods for using a game engine to solve complex technical problems.

Implementing the program into industrial production will reduce the costs of manufacturing and redesigning physical prototypes, making the process of testing and refining designs faster and more accessible. Ultimately, a thorough and in-depth ergonomic assessment will contribute to the creation of safer and more comfortable cabins.

The program can also be used to train students in aeronautical and mechanical engineering specialties.

Bishkek, September 30 (Xinhua) — Kyrgyz President Sadyr Japarov signed a decree calling early elections for members of the Zhogorku Kenesh (parliament). According to the decree, the elections will be held on November 30, 2025, the president's official website reported on Tuesday.

According to the decree, the Central Commission for Elections and Referendums of Kyrgyzstan is instructed to organize elections in accordance with the country's legislation and implement remote voting.

Meanwhile, the country's cabinet of ministers has been instructed to allocate the necessary financial resources for the elections, take measures to ensure the rule of law, the rights and freedoms of citizens, and the protection of public order, as well as to clarify data from the Unified State Population Register to compile accurate voter lists.

The Prosecutor General's Office of the Republic must ensure compliance with the Constitution and laws of Kyrgyzstan when preparing and conducting elections.

On September 25, members of the Kyrgyz Parliament voted to dissolve the Legislative Assembly. The proposal was put forward by an initiative group of 32 members. As MP Ulan Primov explained, there is a short period of time between two important political events—the presidential and parliamentary elections—and so, in order to strengthen the political system and stability in the country, the initiative group proposed that parliament voluntarily resign.

The Zhogorku Kenesh (Federal Assembly) is Kyrgyzstan's unicameral parliament, consisting of 90 members elected for five-year terms. According to the initial schedule, Kyrgyzstan's parliamentary elections were scheduled for November 2026, but presidential elections are scheduled for just two months later, in January 2027.

As Parliament Speaker Nurlanbek Turgunbek uulu previously stated, despite the self-dissolution, the powers of the current convocation's deputies will remain in effect until new deputies are elected, and if necessary, an extraordinary session will be convened.
