Crisis Management System (CMS)

In cooperation with the Federal Centre of the Emergency Response Research Institute, Transas has developed an automated system to monitor, analyse and provide decision support in the emergencies of different natures and scales.

The system incorporates tools for the visual presentation of information (including real time tracking of personnel and vehicle movements), planning, data storage, search for information and communication networks. The system components are intended to support all the areas of responsibility including the general control of the counter- crisis operations, planning of response actions, logistics, financial and administrative functions.

The Crisis Management System (CMS) can be used in situations such as forest fires, oil spills, floods, accidents on potentially dangerous objects, search and rescue operations in sea and flight accidents, and acts of terrorism. Mathematical models of such emergencies were created and tested by the Federal Centre of the Emergency Response Research Institute jointly with Russia’s other leading emergency research institutes.
