The this project consists of two segments. The state segment has to ensure the security of Russia’s transport system, while the commercial segment will have to increase the economic efficiency of the transport sector.


With regard to the state segment, RosTransNadzor (Russian Transport Authority) has commissioned TTK to begin creating a Unified Information Analytical System. The site www.rostransnadzor.ru will make for cooperation between the participants in the system. With regard to the commercial segment, the transport information portal www.telecomtrans.com has begun working. Insurance and shipping documents can be completed in electronic form.  This is a new information service without parallel in the CIS or Europe. Agreements have been signed with insurance companies Capital Insurance, Yugoria and Civil Insurance House, as well as with the shipping company Russian Troika. In the future, services will appear on the site and will allow users to receive and exchange information on the transport market. Each user can post his own commercial offers and proposals, and any shipper can find them easily and quickly since they will be presented in a standard format.
