The main scientific achievements
Since the very foundation of MADI the Chair was headed by a famous scientist, professor P.I. Shilov (from 1930 to 1971). He formulated a new scientific direction for substantiating the accuracy of engineering and geodetic works in survey, design, construction and maintenance

of roads, bridges, tunnels and airfields, using mathematical methods of optimization, developed programs and teaching methodologies for the subjects like “geodesy”, “engineering geodesy” and “aerial geodesy » in civil engineering, the first textbooks on these subjects. The Chaired established modern laboratories for engineering geodesy and aerial geodesy, equipped with an extensive sets of geodetic and stereophotogrammetric equipment for teaching the students and conducting research works.
After P.I. Shilov (from 1971 to 1985) the Chair was headed by another famous scientist, Honored Worker of Science and Technology of the Russian Federation, D.Sc., Professor V.I. Fedorov. With his students, he developed a new scientific direction in research and design works using aeromethods that became extremely relevant later in technologies to the automated design of roads and structures on them (CAD-R). He is also the author of a number of textbooks and teaching guides on engineering geodesy and aerial geodesy, which are in use even today.
From 1985 to 2015 A Honored Worker of Science and Technology of the Russian Federation, Academician of the Academy of Transport of the Russian Federation, D. Sc., Professor G.A. Fedotov became The Head of the Chair. He, with his students, created multi-vectored research works:
- elaboration and improvement of methods and technologies for the of survey works of roads and bridge crossings to “CAD-R” level using the methods and tools for collecting field data based on modern digital photo-theodolite, electronic tacheometers and aero-space (GPS / GLONASS) surveys and ground and aerial scanning of the terrain;
- elaboration and improvement of computer-aided design methods for roads and structures on them (CAD-R);
-developments of research methods and designing of bridge crossings and software program packages worked-out for computing the complex parameters of bridge crossings;
-development of analytical methods for the hydrometeorological substantiation of projects of roads and bridge crossings, mathematical models of rainwater runoff from small catchment basins;
- research works to improve automated design methods for the optimal surface drainage system with geodetic support;
- research works and elaboration of technologies and methods for stereophotogrammetric processing of aerial photographs based on digital photogrammetry, collection of location information by using thermal aerial surveys in the infrared spectrum of electromagnetic waves.
Under the guidance of Professor G.A. Fedotov were defended 2 D.Sc., and more than 20 Ph.D. theses. He wrote a number of monographs, encyclopedias, handbooks, textbooks and guidebooks on computer-aided design system for roads (CAD-R), research and design of roads and bridge crossings, geodesy, aerial geodesy, etc. (a total of about 150 scientific and educational works).
Since 2016, the Chair is headed by D. Sc., Academician of the Russian Academy of Transport, Professor, author of more than 100 scientific, methodological and educational publications in the fields like computer-aided design of roads and geographic information technologies V.N. Boykov. As a well-known scientist and practitioner, one of the leading experts in the road construction sphere, he is a member of the Scientific and Technical Council of the State Company “Avtodor”, head of the section "Information Technologies and Intelligent Transport Systems", the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the well-known “Indore group”. He is developing a scientific direction “Information Modeling of Roads” (IMR) for managing objects throughout their entire life cycle in a single information space. He opened a new educational and research laboratory “Information Geodetic Technologies and GIS”, equipped with computers and software packages “IndorCAD”, “IndorRoad”, “IndorDraw”, “IndorDesign”, “IndorPavement”, “IndorSigns”, “IndorSurvey”, etc.
Currently, the department is working on the following scientific and practical problems:
- the Use of Geographic Information Systems in Road Construction;
-Application of Global Navigation Satellite Systems in the Research Work for Roads, Bridges and Airfields;
-the Use of Photogrammetry in Road Construction;
- the Possibility of Using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) in Surveys and Diagnostics of Roads.
The Chair organizes an annual collective participation of Chair’s teachers in the scientific and scientific-methodical conference organized by the MADI.

Students activity
|
Students under the Chair participate in Research Circles, Scientific Conferences, Symposia and Exhibitions. During the general education process, the students, along with their regular studies, take part in research activities too. During the laboratory and practical classes, mainly in the geodetic (surveying) training practices, all of the students solve a certain set of engineering-geodetic and scientific research tasks determined by the working programs. Subsequently, many of them participate in various competitions or contests. For example, over the past 2 years at the Annual All-Russian Contest of BIM-technology, organized with the support of the Ministry of Construction of the Russian Federation, The Construction Company “Rosavtodor”, the University of “Minstroy”, the Union of Architects of Russia and the Higher School of Economics, in the nomination “Student Work” the projects of our students have won prizes for 2 years continuously. In 2018, the first place in this competition was taken by a project worked out by our students D. Margaryan and A. Reshetko, relataed to a road sector “Section of the Arbatov-Chernomorsk Highway”. In 2019, the 3rd place in the same nomination was won by the project of Y. Varnakov, I. Lebedev and T. Zinatullin named "A series of modular bridge crossings on the highway to the Elginsky Coal Deposit”.
