Control system "Plato" will doustraat and monitoring of buses

According to the newspaper "Vedomosti", the authorities intend to use the "Plato" and to monitor the buses on regional routes. The draft government resolution, the Ministry of transport has placed on Satie regulation.gov.ru. While we are talking only about the experiment in which carriers will participate "voluntarily".
To conduct the experiment will be the company "Modern technologies of passenger transport", which is 40% owned by the operator of the "Plato" – "RT-invest the transport system" (RTAS) and 60% of the company "Onelia" Raphael Mukhametshin (the data SPARK). The experiment will be carried out in the Central, Northwest, Volga and southern Federal districts in the course of just two weeks in October, during which will be tested at least five multifunctional on-Board devices and one mobile device sales and registration.
Recall that the state system "Platon" was created for charging trucks heavier than 12 tonnes "damage" highways. The concession went to RTAS without competition to 23.5% of the company owned by Igor Rotenberg, half – "RT-invest" (which by 25.01% owned by the Rostec).
In the corridors of power are constantly emerging discussion as it has charging system "Platon". For example, in the fall of 2018 in the Tver region there was a significant avtokatastrofa in which the collision of the van with a bus killed 13 passengers of a minibus. The then Minister of transport Evgenie Dietrich has suggested that using "Plato" you can control the security of interregional bus service.

Accordingly, the main goal of the new scope of the "Plato" is defined further improving the safety of bus transportation and reducing the number of accidents as claimed by Deputy Minister of transport Alexey Semenov. Reducing the number of road deaths stands out in the list of the most important targets of the national project "Safe and high quality roads". For today the main problem of safety in the transportation of passengers is the violation of the rules of traffic and transport bus drivers says about a third of respondents (31%) directly to the traffic police. The traffic police has already identified in 2018 bus drivers are more than 3,000 violations of the regime of work and rest, more than 100,000 violations of the rules of carriage of passengers, 550,000 speeding violations. 2,500 bus drivers, in General, was behind the wheel while intoxicated or refused the examination!
The Deputy head of the National Association of enterprises of road and urban passenger transport Viktor Ivanchenko claims that interregional bus transportation on short distances is mainly commuting and travelling long distances – mainly tourism and visits to relatives. The General Director of FBU "Rosavtotrans" Alex Double said that today in the registry regular routes inter-regional traffic including 4092 route, but 30-40% of this market is occupied by illegal entrepreneurs, whose share on some routes, generally exceeds 50%. Passengers choosing illegal operators because of the cheapness, think of 44.5% of respondents traffic police.
Ivanchenko is indignant: "Grey" carriers do not receive permits to transport, not use the right according to the law of the equipment, undermine security, and even legal carriers are forced to reduce prices, thereby undermining their income, part of which should go on maintaining the buses in proper working condition, and also on improvement of quality of preparation of drivers and the regime of work and rest".

Using "Plato" the transport Ministry intends to consider the flows of passengers, vehicle operating, booking and sale of tickets for scheduled and custom-made inter-regional flights. CEO, RTAS Anton Castles argues: "as one single multi-functional onboard device can connect several modules: tachographs, DVRs, payment terminals, ticket validators, passenger traffic sensors, systems of biometric control and even facial recognition – it will reduce costs for carriers." However, he did not specify how many l will ask for a new device and will have to buy the owners of the buses. Definitely Locks assured only that the device will be produced in Russia, is certified and include cryptographic protection of the data, and its information will be legally significant for the state and business. Semenov, in turn, explains: "the experiment "bus Platon", a single state information system of transport security and Integrated information-analytical system of control of vehicles will monitor the compliance regimes of work and rest of drivers, high-speed mode and rules of transportation security, and the integration will provide hour constant monitoring".
In the preliminary tests for four days through the frame and car control "Plato" passed a quarter of a million buses.
Semenov argues that the introduction of a unified system will help displace illegal operators from the market. On the "whitewashing" market is also hoping Ivanchenko. He believes that: "to Circumvent the system will be possible only if it is not to be debugged, but it is not comparable with the number of violations, which is now."
In turn Castles proudly notes that "Plato" was already used for movement control fans of the world Cup finals in 2018: "in Less than a month, we monitored a half thousand buses from 25 countries".
Co-owner of a 19% stake RTAS – Andrew Shipilov believes that: "Tweaking the system "Platon" for the monitoring of all buses is not difficult, RTAS ready if there is such a proposal of the state."

 in addition, "RT-invest" – the largest operator of the treatment of garbage now holds in the Moscow region experiment using the "Plato" and watching garbage trucks.
In addition, the "RT-invest" offered to upgrade on the basis of "Plato" and the system of weight and dimensional control. And even earlier RTAS claimed that the data "Plato" it is possible to sell to insurance companies..
