The cars, made in Russia are intended to be equipped with the double-system receivers GLONASS/GPS on the conveyor – informed the executive minister of the “GLONASS / GNSS – Forum” firm, Vladimir Klimov, giving an interview the Izvestia newspaper. According to his sayings, within the ERA GLONASS program, each car will be fixed with the gadget, "which if it is essential in case of accident, it will mail a alarm or a voice message in the center of traffic.
"Hence, the accidents and their exact locations would be registered, and the subsequent problems with traffic, too. And, of course, this information will help to respond on the situation, providing the assistance," –said Klimov.
Saying about the program ERA GLONASS, he noted that "there will start the comparable system which is founded on GPS / Galileo in Europe in 2012”. "Here it is also spoken about a double-system receiver - GLONASS / GPS. It is planned that the cars which are about to be sold in Russia, that they are equipped with these devices on the assembly belt “-said he.
Replying to the question about the competition of the GPS from America and the national system GLONASS, 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 closing to the GPS – about the sizes of receivers, the power and the color characteristics. And soon the Western associations will do the dual-standart equipment GLONASS / GPS," – concluded he.
