Economic Benefits of Using Industry-Sector Monitoring Systems Based on GNSS

A. Dorofeeva

Abstract:	Nowadays the usage of GNSS is becoming the real global mean to stimulate the development and enhancement of state’s economic potential. As a result thanks to new applications, there is a need to develop and improve already existing technologies. Moreover, at the moment multi-constellation has become one of the top priorities of satellite navigation: the operational GPS system has been joined by the Russian global satellite navigation system – GLONASS; the Chinese COMPASS system is being tested now; the first satellites of the European Galileo system are operating on the orbit. Monitoring systems based on GNSS are broadly used in many fields of our modern life in our time: • To ensure safety and security in transportation, including aviation, marine, railroads, highways and others. It’s expected that in coming future GNSS technologies will take a core place in transport infrastructure of the big cities. Two main tasks of satellite navigation in transportation sector are safety and efficiency improvement. Both are directly effecting state’s economy. • GNSS is widely used in civil economy fields such as telecommunication, energy sector, data transferring synchronization, land management, emergency response, agriculture, control systems for mining equipment. Undoubtedly, GNSS technologies application are becoming more popular and have more influence on social and economic sectors for better standard of living. As far as the Russian navigation market is concerned, it demonstrated trend to boom last years. In particular, production of GLONASS/GPS navigation units for the automotive applications tripled again, year-on-year. The same dynamic growth rate is expected in this year as well. According to the conducted analyses, demand for GLONASS based equipment has increased 10 times after the launch of large scale GLONASS implementation projects. User requirements are getting stricter and more sophisticated. There is a demand emerging for the navigation within new environments that drives development of integrated systems featuring positioning technologies. To sum up, GNSS technologies (in particular, industry-sector monitoring systems based on GNSS) have become today a growth driver of the world social-economic development. It’s hard to overestimate the impact of every company and organization participating in this process in providing the true conditions for economic growth, national safety, increasing welfare and quality of life of our society.
