The ERA-GLONASS system was invented in 2009, and six years later it covered the whole country. From January 1, 2017, the requirement for the mandatory equipping of in-vehicle emergency call devices (UVEOS) connected to the ERA-GLONASS system came into force in all vehicles put into circulation or imported into the Federation.
It seems that we have been living with this system for a long time, and car owners have questions from time to time.
Someone buys a new car for the first time in a long time and sees an unusual button. Someone thinks that the car dealership is trying to impose additional services. And horror stories periodically pop up on the network, they say, the owners of all, all cars in Our Country – from the Zaporozhets and the rare Rolls-Royce to the premium Maserati and Maybachs, released before the era of Glonass, will have to convert the car to a new button .
How the system works
There is a device in the car, it has a SIM chip that receives a signal from four mobile operators. If one of the operators does not work, it connects to another. This allows you to be connected where your smartphone can’t.
When the driver presses the help button (most often it is abbreviated SOS), within 20 seconds the dispatcher contacts him through the speakerphone in the car. The specialist already sees where the car is.
The man says what happened to him. The information is then passed on to local emergency services. The service is free for users.
Today, in 75 regions of the country, System-112 is integrated with the GAIS ERA-GLONASS, which helps to increase the speed of transmission of information about traffic accidents to emergency services. Thanks to automated interaction, the chances of saving the life and health of the victims are significantly increased. In other regions, emergency calls from ERA-GLONASS are still sent to duty units of the territorial bodies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Our Country.
On the Internet, drivers complain that the ERA-GLONASS button does not always work.
– Sometimes the assistance system junk in the Far East. There, the equipment is put on Japanese cars with mileage. When the button is originally installed on a new car, there is no problem with it. Everything is tested. But devices that are not native to the car can malfunction.
Note that ERA-GLONASS can work in those countries where there are similar national systems for calling emergency services.
Installation Rules
It is necessary to install an emergency communication complex in the car only in one case: if the owner of the car personally clears the transport. If you decide to bring Toyota from Japan or BMW from Germany — if you please, arrange everything. Otherwise, it will be impossible to obtain a TCP – a technical equipment passport.
In used cars that are already sold in Our Country, you don’t need to install anything yourself. Another thing is that if you want to install a new system, no one will forbid you to do so.
Self-installation of the ERA-GLONASS system is not cheap:
– 1000 rubles must be paid for identification in the system.
– 21 – 000 rubles will be taken for the installation of the device itself.
Only authorized companies have the right to sell the In-Vehicle Emergency Call System/Device. Before buying, you should check the store’s license for the right to sell this equipment. An up-to-date list of SOS button installation partners can be found on the website. (one)
All trucks that transport dangerous goods and passenger buses in Our Country must be equipped with the Glonass system by September 1, 2027.
Problems with the ERA-GLONASS system in Our Country
In mid-2021, some car factories were unable to equip new cars with the ERA-GLONASS system. This is because the semiconductor crisis has broken out in the world – an important detail is missing for the functioning of devices. But they did not want to stop the conveyors in difficult times. Therefore, we decided to produce cars without ERA-GLONASS, but before June 30, 2022, if you bought such a car, the manufacturer must send you a notification about the need to visit a service center to install SOS equipment.
Benefits for right-handed cars for the installation of ERA-GLONASS
They concern residents of the Far East (FEFD). They can clear customs of right-hand drive vehicles imported from abroad (Japan) without installing ERA-GLONASS until December 3, 2022.
Important: The exemption is valid only for cars that are intended for personal use. That is, taxi cars and commercial vehicles must be equipped. The moratorium on the installation of the system was given due to the fact that in the Far Eastern Federal District the system is still unstable, there are interruptions in communication.
