The Social GLONASS

Fri, 18 May 2012 20:31:39 +0400

The main goal of the project is to gradually introduce all the IT and satellite navigation social service capabilities into daily public life.

The Social GLONASS envisages establishment of a nation-wide integrated wireless network of personal trackers and call-centers. The centers will accumulate user's precise medical data and geographic coordinates from special ultraportable devices - and process the alerting� information to correspondent public services.

This will make possible to constantly monitor client's health status and location - ensuring real-time contact with doctors, social workers and relatives.

Number of handicapped people in Russia will exceed 15 million by 2015
By 2009 data, number of handicapped people Moscow has exceeded 1,2 million. 26 thousands of them are children, over 60 thousands of handicapped people don't leave their homes
In 2006, UN General assembly has approved the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, ratified by 95 countries; Russia has joined this Convention in 2008

Handicapped people's life quality improvement by use of cutting edge navigation and information technologies
Non-limiting technosphere development using cutting edge navigation and information technologies

Project goals and purpose

Life quality improvement is the main country leadership's goal
GLONASS information and navigational technologies development
Use of innovative technologies by people with disabilities
Facilitation of social standards of life quality for people with disabilities
Facilitation of assistance to people with disabilities in emergencies, their physical condition monitoring
Facilitation of personalized information support of people with disabilities based on navigation and telecommunication technologies use
Involvement of people with disabilities into productive activity, creation of additional workplaces
Development of dedicated Russian national telecommunications infrastructure and social networking for people with disabilities

GLONASS technologies are a principal new level of social services:

To approve and advise continued involvement of non-commercial organizations, scientific and production entities in the "Social GLONASS" project
To recommend Ministry of Public Health and Social Development of Russian Federation to initiate "Social GLONASS" project implementation in 2011
To submit the "Social GLONASS" project into National projects council and Commission for innovation and technologic advancement of Russan economy under the President of Russian Federation, as well as into General and chief designers, lead scientists and specialist in high-technology economic areas Council in National scale innovative-social project capability

The MIR

On 28 January 2010 at first "5+5" Russian global development national forum, the largest in Russia GLONASS and other space technologies based innovation project of the "MIR" automated integrated State monitoring of Russian Federation infrastructure objects and resources presented by OAO "Rossiyskie kosmicheskie sistemy" was examined and recommended for implementation.

Purpose

Facilitation of centralized accumulation, processing and integral analysis of data on condition of wide range of economically and socially significant state infrastructure objects
Forecast of adverse anthropogenic, natural and social processes and their aftermaths
Coordinated managerial decisions making

Tasks

Creation of unified information space, permitting integration of isolated infrastructure objects and resources monitoring systems
Supplying actual information on critical or emergency conditions at objects or resources to government entities
Multilevel integral analysis and management decision making support system implementation (expert system)

Currently, there is no mechanism for all-around integrated monitoring and security of country's infrastructure objects and resources in Russia. "MIR" project will facilitate integration of modern high technology navigation and telecommunication systems and geospatial databases, providing a multiplier effect and boosting innovative development of Russian Federation economy.

"MIR" and "Electronic government" systems integration will enable creation of efficient way of interaction between government entities and population, playing a major part in all-around control of condition and utilization of objects and resources. Government executive bodies and local government users will have an ability to run ad hoc information base queries and to receive data for examination and subsequent analysis.

Combined use of space systems is a governing condition of "MIR" project's successful implementation.

Managerial decision making based on space constellation data integrated analysis results
Notification of possible emergencies at critical infrastructure objects based on space systems combined use
Real-time emergency control based on precision geolocation detailed ERS snapshots and geophysical measurements data
GLONASS system assisted mobile objects monitoring and condition control by use of ERS data and telemetry sensors data.

The ERA-GLONASS

Fri, 18 May 2012 20:31:39 +0400

Two-way voice communication facilitation between the traffic controller and the driver meeting an accident
Terminal equipment condition monitoring and accident response
Outfitting transport vehicles with special terminal equipment, technical support

There are over 60 regional centers created, which implement different scale navigation information systems in the regions. Major projects based on unified software-hardware platform were implemented in Moscow, Penza, Norilsk, Barnaul, Dubna, Sochi, and in Saratov and Kaluga oblasts.

ERA GLONASS is the project that will facilitate large-scale GLONASS technology implementation and will boost the design of competitive mass-market navigation devices, and unification of solutions offered with foreign navigation systems.

Telematic module is the core system building component, it is a hybrid unit designed for:

Global satellite navigation systems (GLONASS, GPS, etc.) signal reception
Transport vehicle sensors readings control and processing
Control of actuator units installed on a transport vehicle
Navigation data transmission to telematic server of the transport monitoring system and command instructions reception from telematic server

Project's social aspects

Reduction of injuries and fatalities in Russian Federation roads accidents.
Compulsion of automotive transport vehicle drivers to safe driving
Global hazardous and valuable freight control and security
Freight service and public transit quality improvement
Environment conservation by monitoring preset automotive vehicle's operation parameters
Provision of quality navigation and telematic services to users of GLONASS/GPS and GLONASS/GPS/Galileo/COMPASS electronic compact and mobile devices with integrated receivers
Development of technical and organizational basis for intellectual transportation systems development

Road accident response time reduction by 10 to 30�%
Road accidents consequences mitigation budget expenses reduction by factor of 1.5-2 (about 200 billion rubles)
GLONASS/GPS and GLONASS/GPS/Galileo/COMPASS navigation chipsets production for portable and mobile equipment, navigation and telematic equipment production costs reduction by facilitation of wide-scale GLONASS system capabilities utilization
Navigation receivers production output is 100,000 to 15,000,000 units per year
Production and installation of telematic modules capable of recording automotive vehicle technical characteristics into automotive transport vehicles
