OREANDA-NEWS. November 5, 2008. Krasnoyarsky region became a field for deploying Regional Navigation and Data System (RNDS). The project is carried out by M2M Telematica company and facilitated by RNII KP R&D federal entity in the framework of GLONASS commercializing. The project is aimed at demonstrating GLONASS capabilities.

Reshetnev ISS company, Zheleznogorsk, Russian spacecraft designer and manufacture, opened United Monitoring Center. Telematics server located in the Center acquires monitoring data about transport status and motions via GSM/GPRS networks. The data is processed and stored in the Center. Then, this information is transmitted to the automatic dispatcher`s work stations (AWS) via Internet. Telematics GLONASS/GPS terminals are installed in the transport vehicles, and the AWS`s are organized in the transport entities. Thus, a united data field is arranged for central transport monitoring system. It provides the opportunity to provide immediate response and reasonable flexible application of forces and means, including critical situations.

Similar systems are planned for deployment in Moscow, Astrakhanskaya, North Ossetia and other regions of Russia. The system has already proved its effectiveness in some regions. Eventually, the RNDS helps improving transport services.
