UAZ will deliver over 600 vehicles with remote control for Russian Railways

The Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant, within the framework of the contract, will deliver to the Russian Railways state corporation 617 “connected” Patriot, Pickup, Profi and SGR family vehicles by the end of the year. As noted, the use of Connected Car technology helps to reduce the cost of operating vehicles, minimize downtime and increase the efficiency of business processes, the UAZ press service informed.

Off-road vehicles designed for the needs of Russian Railways are produced by UAZ and are equipped as standard with Connected Car technology. UAZ Connect innovative IT solution, using integrated telematics and online services, transmits remotely the readings from on-board vehicle systems. Data via the ERA-GLONASS telecommunication module integrated into the CAN bus is transmitted in real time to the Squadron cloud platform, which provides operational processing and interaction with information. In particular, the system allows you to monitor the technical condition of vehicles and their location, draw up optimal driving routes, remotely monitor the operation parameters of the main components and assemblies, as well as quickly respond to emergency situations

UAZ Connect, developed for this project by the partner of the Sollers group, C-Cars, is fully integrated with the UAZ car's internal systems. At the moment, some of the services have already been implemented, namely the ability to deploy, track fuel consumption for the UAZ Patriot and dispatch applications as a functional of the fleet management system. In the coming months, the list is planned to be expanded with the advent of options for remote diagnostics, analysis of driving style and further automation of fleet management processes.
