Arkhangelsk Region Set to Expand Alternative Navigation System for Buses
The system has already been successfully tested on one route.
Arkhangelsk Region is rolling out an alternative navigation system for buses that helps track vehicles when satellite signals are disrupted, regional governor Aleksandr Tsybulskiy said.
The system uses a network of geostationary markers developed by specialists at Arkhangelskiy Telekommunikatsionnyy Tsentr (Arkhangelsk Telecommunications Center).
“The pilot project was
successfully tested on Route 144, which runs between Arkhangelsk and Novodvinsk.
Throughout September, 10 buses operated daily under dual monitoring. Monitoring
results confirmed that 99.9% of scheduled trips were completed,” Tsybulskiy
said.
The governor also said a decision had already been made to expand the system to other routes. Two bus operators have applied to participate in the project and are set to receive the new system.
“This will improve safety
and make bus dispatching more precise and responsive,” Tsybulskiy said.
