Glonass May Provide Transportation Quality Control on North–South, Europe-China Corridors
Glonass is open to cooperating with foreign partners to perform quality control checks on goods being transported via international transport corridors, Zheregelya told Sputnik.
Glonass JSC is the operator of the ERA-GLONASS system, providing data to emergency responders via Russia's Global Navigation Satellite System. It is designed to reduce emergency service arrival times by quickly pin-pointing incident sites. The system calls an emergency service number automatically if the on-board transponder signals an accident.
