The company vehicles of IDGC of Centre — Yarenergo division have been completely equipped with the GLONASS/GPS monitoring and control of vehicles «AutoTracker» system. The equipment of the company’s divisions with modern monitoring system of vehicles is a major part of work aimed at optimizing the operation of motor vehicles, fast response to emergency situations.

The GLONASS/GPS monitoring and control of vehicles «AutoTracker» system allows visually tracking the location and movement of all vehicles of the division on the electronic map, recording the daily mileage, the route and fuel consumption. In the cabin of the vehicle there is a button with which the driver can send a signal about faults in the car or other emergency situations.

Special equipment has been installed in 476 vehicles, including lift trucks, crew vehicles, tractors, trucks, mobile electrical laboratory and other vehicles. Other 18 sets will be installed onto the vehicles being purchased. In each of the eighteen districts of electrical networks of Yarenergo division the work of the vehicles is monitored by the designated technical staff that monitors the implementation of the schedule and route of movement and quickly responds to signals from the crew.
