Traffic police began to look for fake inspection with cameras and IT system

In October 2022, it became known that the traffic police began to use road cameras and the Web system to identify cars with a fake technical inspection.

Autonews drew attention to this after studying the relevant court decisions. It follows from these materials that in some cases some insurance companies offer to issue diagnostic cards without actually traveling to inspection points when concluding OSAGO contracts.

The traffic police began to look for a fake inspection with cameras and the IT system "Web"

One of the decisions was made by one of the district courts in Tver. According to the case file, Avtocenter issued a diagnostic card for a Renault Kangoo car. Photographs were uploaded to the EAISTO base, allegedly testifying to the passage of technical inspection by the specified vehicle. However, only the license plate was visible in the photographs, and not the entire car, there was no obligatory expert for such a shooting, who issued a diagnostic card. Such materials did not allow to confirm the fact of passing the technical inspection.

From the response of the CAFAP of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in the Tver region, it follows that, according to the information of the electronic bank "POTOK +" and special software for monitoring the movement of vehicles "Web," the Renault Kangoo vehicle in the Tver region is not registered.

IT system "Web"

Thus, Avtocenter LLC was charged under Part 3 of Art. 14.4.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses. Only shortcomings in the materials related to inaccurate informing of the representatives of the center about the dates of the consideration of the case prevented the decision on the fine.

The diagnostic cards drawn up in this way in the traffic police were canceled. By mid-October 2022, the Web system works in almost all regions of Russia.^[1]

Chernyshenko instructed the Ministry of Internal Affairs to scale the IT system for finding stolen cars throughout the country

As it became known on January 26, 2022, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko instructed the Ministry of Internal Affairs to scale up the work of the Web system throughout Russia, designed to fix traffic violations, solve crimes related to car theft and search for car owners hiding from accident sites.

As Kommersant writes with reference to the documents following the meeting between Chernyshenko and the heads of the digital transformation of ministries and departments, the Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation instructed the Ministry of Internal Affairs to provide a schedule for the launch of the Web agreed with other departments until January 20, 2022. The progress of the implementation of this order by January 26 is not reported.

When "Web" spreads to all regions, it will significantly simplify the search for stolen cars. Without a single surveillance system, a stolen car that crossed county limits is extremely difficult to track down. By January 2022, a seamless tracking system for stolen vehicles works only in the Central District. At the same time, "Web" works only in 42 of the 85 subjects of the Russian Federation, the apparatus told the publication. They also added that in other regions, work on the launch of the "Web" continues "in accordance with the schedule."

According to a newspaper source familiar with the technical problems of the Web project, its implementation was influenced by "a number of factors, ranging from the complexity of the commissioning process and integration with software, ending with the individual features of each subject."

At the same time, another interlocutor of the publication called the main reason for the delay the insufficient supply of computer equipment to the regions. Server equipment was not enough for all regions, in the first quarter of 2022 it needs to be purchased, he added. According to Kommersant, subjects where there are no servers yet should be connected to the Web approximately by September 2022.^[2]

Purchase of 450 Elbrus processors for use in the system

On October 18, 2021, it became known that MINISTRY OF INTERNAL AFFAIRS it had purchased about 450 servers for the Russian processors "" Elbrus in order to use them for its Web system. It is designed to search for problem cars data using photo and throughout video cameras. to the country

This was announced in a video interview by Konstantin Trushkin, deputy general director for development of the ICST company (developer of the Elbrus line).

"Web" gradually covers the distributed system of centers for automated fixation of administrative offenses (CAFAP) of the traffic police. It is they who send drivers the so-called "letters of happiness" with fines formed on the basis of data from photo and video cameras.

"Web" is used to prevent and solve crimes related to theft or theft of vehicles, as well as to search for cars hiding from road accidents.

At the end of April 2021, it became known that the system had already been deployed on the territory of the Central Federal District by that time. By the end of 2021, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is going to introduce the "Web" in most of the regions of Russia. The development of police software was carried out with the money of the Moscow mayor's office.

As noted by Trushkin, this project will be the first case of the use of "iron" on "Elbrus" in a highly loaded system. According to him, about 450 servers based on the company's chips are supplied to the project by the ICST partners for October 2021.

Data from traffic cameras will pour onto 'Elbrus' servers; there they will be processed, stored, there will be analytics and the formation of documents, such as automatic fines, "said Trushkin. Therefore, here I can joke: soon the proof of the existence of our processors will be the signature on these fines "Issued on 'Elbrus'."

The purchase of servers by the Ministry of Internal Affairs at Elbrus under the Web did not occur at a time, but in parts.

The largest of them took place following a tender for the purchase of 298 servers for the main regional departments of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in forty regions of Russia. Initially, the tender was launched with a starting contract price of 938.3 million rubles. However, later the procedure was somewhat reformatted, and the servers mysteriously went up in price by 217.5 million rubles. - up to 1.156 billion rubles.

The tender was held in the format of an electronic auction. After the deadline for submitting applications, it turned out that only one organization claims budget funds: Novy Ai Ti Project LLC, a legal entity of 3Logic. She is known on the market as a developer of her own computer equipment both at Elbrus and at Russian Baikal (there is no full-fledged server chip in the last line; it is in development). The contract following the tender was signed with her without reducing the price of the lot.

According to the source, if the unit price of the remaining 150 servers under the "Web" for the Ministry of Internal Affairs turned out to be the same as in this tender, then the total amount of supplies could exceed 1.7 billion rubles^[3].

Launch of a system for searching for cars in the Central Federal District

On March 21, 2021, it became known about the launch by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation of a system called "Web," which allows you to search for cars stolen and left the scene of an accident using road cameras. First, the technology worked in the Central Federal District, and within a few months it will be implemented in many regions of the country.

The transfer of the centers for automated recording of administrative offenses (CAFAP) of the traffic police to new software was reported by Kommersant with reference to the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Earlier, the work of the CAFAP was not synchronized, since the software was different everywhere, the newspaper notes. The Moscow Region traffic police, for example, could not track the path of a stolen car that left the Moscow Region. In 2012-2017, unified software for CAFAP was introduced in Moscow and the region.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs presented the IT system "Web" for the search for cars in the Central Federal District

According to the source of the newspaper, before a police officer could receive from the system only a photo of the car at the time of violation of traffic rules, now photos of all driveways are available for analysis. The police also became available to the police for pictures that, for one reason or another, were rejected without turning into a "letter of happiness."

The Ministry of Internal Affairs expects that in the future the components of "Web" will become part of the system of electronic appeal of fines within the framework of the portal of public services, which has long been sought by unfairly fined motorists. The corresponding legislative framework in the form of amendments to the Administrative Code has already been developed and will enter into force on September 1, 2021.

The Center for Traffic Management (DPC) told Kommersant that over the five years of the system's use in Moscow and the region, crime detection rates have generally increased, and the annual number of thefts has decreased from 8.7 thousand to 1.6 thousand. The center noted that the introduction of "Web" in the Central Federal District is necessary to improve safety, since more than 39 million people live in the district, who own 28% of all cars in the country.^[4]
