"In process of growth of the population, increase in intensity of the movement and strength on roads, there comes the moment when in work of passenger transport the quantum leap relying on the last achievements in the field of information technologies is necessary, – Pavel Ustyuzhanin, the deputy chief of head department of formation of the Kurgan region told. - Our management is engaged in the organization of safety in transit of children in school buses. We purchase the new vehicles conforming to modern security requirements, we equip the existing buses with necessary control facilities, including, the systems of satellite navigation. In 2013 within the target GLONASS program all school buses of the Kurgan region were equipped with the system of satellite monitoring of Omnicomm transport. We are satisfied with reliability and functional features of the system of Omnicomm and also professionalism of Tahograph-Service company. Very necessary solution which allows not only to manage better school transport is created, but also positively influences public life of all area. We are not going to be satisfied with what has already been achieved and in our next plans creation of regional dispatching service".

In spite of the fact that in this sphere economic effect of use of monitoring systems is shown fully, much more important task is ensuring the maximum safety of passengers. School buses of Russian regions often work out of the cities in difficult road and weather conditions. Solutions which give the chance to provide to passengers security should become an obligatory element of any modern management system for passenger transport over time. Implementation of monitoring systems based on GLONASS on school transport will allow to increase safety of transportations and, due to increase in control of observance of the schedule of the movement, will make use of school buses more convenient for children".

Of course, for us safety of children above all. In the last several years we pay to this question huge attention.

Also this solution is very convenient for directors of schools who in real time can look how soon children will be brought to the pool or on a sporting event. We are also going to equip all new buses with monitoring of Omnicomm Online transport. Olga Malyukova
