GPS/GLONASS car tracking

The Russian assembled cars are about to be equipped with the dual-standart receivers GLONASS/GPS on the assembly belt – said the administrative chief of the “GLONASS / GNSS – Forum” firm, Vladimir Klimov, giving an interview the Izvestia newspaper. According to him, within the ERA GLONASS program, each car will be fixed with the device, “which if it is essential in case of accident, it will send a call or a voice message in the center of traffic.
“Thus, the accidents and their exact locations would be registered, and the subsequent troubles with traffic, too. And, of course, this information will help to respond on the situation, providing the assistance,” –said Klimov.
Saying about the project ERA GLONASS, he noted that “there will begin to operate the analogous system which is founded on GPS / Galileo in Europe in 2012”. “Here it is also said about a dual-standart receiver – GLONASS / GPS. It is planned that the cars which will be in Russia, that they are equipped with these gadgets on the assembly belt “-said he.
Answering to the question about the competition of the GPS from America and the Russian-developed system, Vladimir Klimov said: “SBS had systematically been developing about 20 years, but the Russian system – only 8 years.” “But at the hardware level we are already approaching to the GPS – about the sizes of receivers, the power and the color characteristics. And soon the Western companies will make the dual equipment GLONASS / GPS,” – concluded he.

GLONASS

 

The Russian factory of production of microsystems and detectors will appear to 2012. These detectors will be used in the navigational receivers GLONASS / GPS, in the mobiles and in the high-frequency digital broadcasting equipment. The Roslano firm is about to invest in the manufacturing 550 million rubles, so the total project’s budget is valued in 1.24 billion rubles. “The project’s output on the planned figures should appear in 2015” –said the corp..
It is planned that the main part of project’s revenue will be got from the sellings of energy-efficient and affordable systems, which have a big range of the operating temperatures. And these temperatures are used for checking the stress-strain state of the building structures. The security systems of gas-processing is going to have a high percentage of sales. In addition, the project corporation will carry out the production of microsystems which is the strong to the hard environmental conditions.
The initiator and co-investor of the project is the St. Petersburg firm “Avangard” and it intends to provide “the intellectual property in the patents, the know-hows and in the sets of design and technological documentation”. The organizers think to attract the professionals from main Russian scientific centers, especially – from the Kotelnikov’s Institute of Radio Engineering and Electronics, so they take part at the development of the new collection of micros.
Experts say that the world market’s volume of sensors and components was about $ 51 billion in 2008. And It is expected that if the growth rate is approximately five % per annum, the volume will reach $ sixty seven billion in 2018.
