GPS/GLONASS receiver

The Russian assembled cars are going to be equipped with the double-system receivers GLONASS/GPS on the assembly belt – informed the administrative chief of the “GLONASS / GNSS – Forum” company, Vladimir Klimov, granting an interview the Izvestia newspaper. According to his words, within the ERA GLONASS project, each car will be supplied with the device, "which if it is necessary in case of accident, it will post a alarm or a voice message in the center of traffic.
"Thus, the accidents and their exact locations would be recorded, and the subsequent troubles with traffic, too. And, of course, this information will help to answer on the situation, providing the assistance," –said Klimov.
Saying about the project ERA GLONASS, he marked that "there will start the dublicate system which is based on GPS / Galileo in Europe in 2012”. "Here it is also spoken about a dual receiver - GLONASS / GPS. It is expected that the cars which are going to be in Russia, that they are fixed with these gadgets on the conveyor “-said he.
Answering to the question about the competition of the American GPS and the national system GLONASS, Vladimir Klimov said: "SBS had systematically been developing nearly 20 years, but the Russian system - only 8 years." "But at the hardware level we are already approaching to the GPS – about the sizes of receivers, the power and the color characteristics. And soon the Western companies will make the dual equipment GLONASS / GPS," – noted he.
