The information-analytical center (IAC) includes a receiving and transmitting point (RFP), a pairing device, a computer complex and an automated workstation (AWS) containing an operator console and a console of a law enforcement dispatcher. (RF patent No.RU 2269821, IPC G08G 1/123, published on July 6, 2004, pp. 5-7 of the description).

The vehicle receives navigation signals from the global satellite radio navigation system, calculates the current coordinates of the vehicle, generates and transmits a signal containing information about the vehicle code and its current coordinates through the radio system to the information and analytical center, the signal is received in the information and analytical center, extract, store information and compare the current coordinates of the vehicle with the specified coordinates of the route of the vehicle for the existence of control over the vehicle’s route of movement and, in case of deviation from the route, generate an alert signal, a security alarm is placed in the container installed on the vehicle; when the container is opened unauthorized, the security alarm generates a signal based on which a signal containing information about the code is generated in the container container and information about the unauthorized opening of the container, transmit it to the vehicle, on the vehicle from the received signal isolate, store information, and also provide notification of unauthorized opening of the container, information about unauthorized opening of the container and container code is added to the signal information about the vehicle code and its current coordinates, from the signal received in the information-analytical center, information is also extracted and stored unauthorized opening of the container and

code of the container, an alert signal is generated for taking measures, a duplex radio communication is established between the vehicle and the information-analytical center.

The disadvantage of this system is that, like the aforementioned system, it is a system for monitoring the condition of the vehicle, driver and cargo on the route and when deviating from the route, but does not take into account the specifics of rail transportation, the absence of a driver like in vehicles, the nature of containers (wagon, gondola, container, tank, platform, etc.), the possible lack of standard alarm systems and the ability to connect power. Also, duplication of the warning system through various communication channels is not provided, which does not fully meet the requirements for the safety of cargo and the safety problems of railway transportation. In addition, the main innovation of the system, namely the possibility of external remote control by the operators of the technical systems of the vehicle, is difficult or unprofitable in railway transport.
