The Yaroslavl Region has become the first of Russia's regions to fully connect to the new Federal Navigation and Information System (FNIS). This was announced in his Telegram channel by the Governor of the Yaroslavl Region, Mikhail Evraev.
According to him, an agreement on cooperation in this area was concluded today at the St. Petersburg Economic Forum with Alexey Raikevich, General Director of JSC GLONASS. In the Yaroslavl Region, one and a half thousand units of public transport are already connected to the ERA-GLONASS system, and FNIS"will become another effective and transparent navigation tool."
What is FNIS
This is a unified state digital platform for monitoring any vehicles based on the domestic ERA-GLONASS system. Afterconnection, it will give regions the opportunity to:
- control the movement of passenger transport, aviation drones and ambulances;
- monitor the movement of electric scooters with the possibility of establishing slow zones. At the same time, any region will be able to set its own safe speed limits, reducing accidents;
- launch mobile applications or retransmit information to Yandex.Maps and 2GIS, as well as to "smart stops."
In the future, the system will cover various modes of transport, including small vessels. FNIS will be provided to Russian regions free of charge. According to various estimates, this unified system will save at least four billion rubles.
FNIS wasannounced in October 2023, and was first tested in Moscow on scooters, where it covered more than two hundred slow zones. FNIS became acquainted with drones and small aircraft in the southern regions of Russia in the closed sky mode during agricultural work. Flights of aviation equipment, including drones, are prohibited there, but those who were allowed to fly could confirm their route in the system.
In March 2024, JSC GLONASS, together with the Ministry of Transport of Russia, began testing FNIS more globally. Public transport in the Novgorod Region, plus Aeromax cargo helicopters, Agrimax.Aero agro-drones, and ambulances in several other regions were connected to it.
By the end of 2024, it is planned to connect five regions to FNIS, and in 2025 - at least 25 constituent entities of the Russian Federation.
