ERA-GLONASS will help motorists in distress

Starting from 2013 it will be equipped with all domestic vehicles. With the help of navigator connected to GLONASS, will be to call the police or rescuers directly to the scene. GLONASS to the rescue! Emergency response on the roads will soon become part of the Global Positioning System. If a motorist involved in an accident, the call goes to the remote rescue service, even if there is no cellular service. The main task of the project – to reduce response time. Any state of emergency – car theft, accident or a threat from third parties, and the system of ERA-GLONASS will inform special services, will help to return stolen car, or lead to a place of rescue workers and police officers. "There are two possible definitions of an accident. The first – an automatic signal to the sensors that are installed in the car. The second possibility – a red button ", – says Director of the Department of automotive devices" NIS GLONASS Jaroslav Domaratsky. On the screen when the operator enters the vehicle equipped with an instrument system, a message appears on an emergency call. "We accept the call. Recognized by the location of the car "- continues the story of Jaroslav Domaratsky system. – Good day, whether you need help? – Good day, help is not required, all alive and well. "We are well aware that without the integration of the forces, the means to respond MOE, MIA, ambulances can not guarantee the final result. That is our challenge – to deliver information, to notify the state of readiness. Therefore, we are actively involved in the creation of departmental systems and to integrate and coordinate our efforts, including the system of 112 "- develops the theme of the general director of NIS GLONASS Alexander Gurko. Emergency response in an emergency, short for "ERA-GLONASS, was the theme of the First International Congress" Navigation and Information Technology to improve safety and comfort on the road. " Agreement on Cooperation signed with the German and Brazilian experts. The plans of Russian designers joined ERA-GLONASS with the existing system rescue COSPAS-SARSAT, which was almost 30 years. "In 1982, 10 September companion rescued Canadian airmen who carried out a search operation: looking for air ambulance themselves shipwrecked in British Columbia. Them during the day were able to save by this most humane of satellite systems. We propose to combine these two systems "- says CEO FSUE RISDE Yuri Urlichich. Among the additional services of ERA-GLONASS tachograph functions, remote diagnostics of the machine, system traffic management, security and retrieval systems operating absolutely everywhere. "In areas where mobile communication is still no coverage, plan to use satellite communications, including the system of "messenger", which is now actively developing the use of some foreign systems "- outlined the prospects of Alexander Gurko. It is assumed that in 2013 a satellite navigation system is in base equipment vehicles. Associated with the electronic circuit machines, it will be able to notify not only the scene of the accident, but also the technical condition of the car. In the meantime, continues to build up its GLONASS orbital constellation. "Recently we have successfully launched a new satellite Glonass-K. It will be flight-tested. It is assumed that in the third quarter will be running triple GLONASS-M "in the filling of the orbital gruppirovki.I at the end of this year we will launch another" GLONASS-K "- promises Yuri Urlichich. Then the Russian global navigation system will operate around the globe without restriction. Among its functions – to rescue people in distress.
