Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin hopes Russia and the United States will agree on deployment of GLONASS and GPS stations before 1 September.

Cooperation with the United States in the area of navigation should continue despite problems, Rogozin said. "Despite some difficulties we have with the United States, we believe it is necessary to continue cooperation," the deputy prime minister stressed.

Russia has recently made a statement that cooperation in the navigation area should be formed on the basis of certain parity and proportionality, he said, saying that eleven GPS stations deployed in Russian territory by the US in the early 1990s are still working.  

“Perhaps we had the right to expect it to be possible to deploy similar GLONASS stations on the territory of the United States," Rogozin said.

"I hope we have been heard not only in navigation departments, but first of all in Washington. I hope we will find full understanding by 1 September, or we will have to do something with the stations," Rogozin told a meeting of the Technoprom 2014 forum.

Emergency medical services (EMS) play key roles in transporting, or bringing treatment to, patients who become ill through medical emergencies or are injured in road traffic accidents (RTAs). But awareness has been rising steadily, in the US and elsewhere, of the extent to which EMS can generate their own emergencies. The most common cause is vehicles causing or becoming involved in RTAs, as a result of driving fast under pr

    Everyone in the road transport industry in Australia is talking road pricing - everyone, that is, except the politicians. Christine Keyes reports. At the end of 2008, Australia's road transport industry was wringing its collective hands, unable to raise more than $100 million from an individual bank for any Public Private Partnership (PPP). The A$750 million Peninsula Link project, announced by the Victoria Government in March 2009, was the first road project in the country to be put out to market as an ava

This makes information management all the more necessary in the control room environment.
