SHORT PRESENTATION OF THE RussGPS-PROJECT IN RUSSIA
Name of Project
RussGPS
Typ of Project:
IT/Space/Logistics
Country of Project:
Russia/Europe
Year of implementation:
2004
RussGPS specializes in vehicle monitoring systems, Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology utilizing the long-standing experience of leading experts in the field.
RussGPS objective is to increase profitability of the transportation companies by increasing effectiveness in solving control and management tasks as well as ensuring transportation
safety by using GPS/GLONASS, GSM/GPRS and RFID technologies, INMARSAT satellite network and computer systems.
The effectiveness of the RussGPS Navigation System is based on the following features:
Vehicle movement control
Optimal planning due to precise fleet tracking
Reduce fuel and maintenance costs not less that 10-20%
Improved transportation safety including control of the driver's work
Decrease in insurance premiums by 15-50% depending on the type of insurance and
insurance company
Saving on the mobile conversations regarding the location of a vehicle, that account for
up to 50% of the telephone traffic.
The RussGPS Navigation System's potential application
The RussGPS Navigation System can provide the customers with:
real-time vehicle location information
monitoring when vehicles arrive and leave sites
historical vehicle movement visualisation on a comprehensive city map over any given
period of time
vehicle maintenance information based on the vehicle sensors' data
regular vehicle movement reports
storage of the received information in a database.
RussGPS Navigation System's Monitoring features:
Automatic object positioning (longitude and latitude, speed, azimuth, altitude)
Automatic monitoring the status of any on board sensor (switch starting, doors opening, alarm,
cargo body lifting, temperature changes, attachment and auxiliary equipment's performance, speeding, level of liquid in tanks and cisterns etc.)
Automatic transmission of the tracking and other information about the units in a given period of
time (20 sec. intervals)
Automatic transmission to the ground dispatch units messages about changes to the conditions of the vehicle based on the sensors information (alarm button pressed, changes into the supplementary equipment's work, vehicle's idle time, entering or leaving certain areas)
Automatic recording in a non-volatile memory navigation and maintenance signals in case of a cut-off
with subsequent sending the information over to the dispatcher automatically or on demand
Continuous route monitoring with automatic alert in case of variations from a planned route
Possibility to choose individual units and receive real-time track and maintenance information about
them
Cartographic representation of the tracking information and parameters of the vehicles on vector
maps
Providing vehicle tracking and maintenance information in the chart form
Sending emergency signals of alarm windows and tones on the dispatchers' monitors.
RussGPS Navigation System's management features:
Creating control zones on the electronic maps for vehicle performance monitoring
Control and analysis of mileage reports over given periods of time
Possibility to mange the vehicle directly by the dispatcher (engine stop, hazard lights on/off,
driver calling, auxiliary equipment management)
Possibility to maintain voice communication with the units
Text messaging from dispatch points to the units
Automatic logging all the actions performed at the dispatch points
Data storage and communication with external information systems (IS)
Storage of information in an integrated database (MS SQL or Interbase)
Information formatting compatible with the users' IS
Data exchange with the users' IS
Database creating as user archives.
