The development of railway transport is carried out in accordance with the Transport strategy of the Russian Federation, approved by the order of the Government of the Russian Federation dated November, 27th, 2021 №3363-r. The insufficient level of digitalization and the introduction of new technologies in transport limits the long-term innovative development of the transport complex in Russia.

The joint-stock company "Institute of Transport Economics and Development" (JSC "IERT") is a subsidiary of JSC "Russian Railways", authorized to conduct research and development in the field of economics and strategic development of railway transport. The consistent implementation of digital technologies for paperless document flow and the use of modern geoinformation solutions ensure the formation of a single information space in the digital environment in JSC "IERT" with using the domestic software.

With the help of software products the GIS Server SE and GIS WebService SE, a bank of spatial data of the organization was formed, including a single digital base, a map of administrative-territorial division, schemes of railway lines, thematic cartograms and graphical reports. A web application based on GIS WebServer SE has been created for employees of structural divisions to access layers of spatial data integrated with industry databases of technical and economic information. The set of server programs operates under the control of the domestic operating system Astra Linux Special Edition and implements in JSC "IERT" a unified environment for viewing and analyzing georeferenced data.

In 2021, JSC "IERT", together with JSC "KB Panorama", completed the stages of automating the process of working with requests for the examination of documents of territorial planning, socio-economic development in conjunction with information on promising and implemented measures for the development of railway transport infrastructure with a breakdown for the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. For the preparation of basic industry information, a library of conventional symbols and a digital classifier of the map have been developed, which provides a visual displaying the facilities of infrastructure of railway transport and the unification of schematic maps. The creation of thematic cartograms of measures for the development of existing and planned infrastructure facilities of railway transport is carried out on the diagram of the railway network, with reference to the CNSI and OKTMO.

In JSC "IERT" a large number of databases and information systems have been created and are used. The best way to integrate them into a single information space is a digital map, which allows you to quickly find and visually display any georeferenced data. Work on the preparation of data for loading into a single bank of spatial data is carried out by employees of the department of geoinformation and technical support using the GIS "Panorama". The "Report Designer" mode gives them the ability to create complex graphic documents that combine a map, tables, photos and text information.

In KB "Panorama" the Databank of digital maps and remote sensing data version 7 has been developed. The new version supports storage of digital vector maps, city plans, remote sensing data, terrain models, geodetic points, geodetic networks for special purposes (GNSP) and lines of state leveling networks (SLN), technical documents and their metadata. Conducting of metadata of analog maps and analog images and the accounting of their movement is carried out.

The Databank implements an algorithm for creating, updating and deleting datasets and metadata in two hands. All metadata state changes require approval if made by a user who does not have metadata approval rights. After approval of the changes, the old record is transferred into the archive status, with the possibility of later viewing. The manager always has access to information about the user who performed the operation, the date and time of the operation, and the previous state of the data.

A system of remote notifications of managers about the changes made in the data bank has appeared. You can customize what data you want to track and receive information about all changes by e-mail.

The list of metadata for integration with systems of planning and the organisation of works for digital mapping of territories has been significantly expanded. Conducting coordinates and heights of geodetic points in different systems has been added. Toolls of recalculation of coordinates from SCS to LCS were added. Import and export of metadata and directories in office suite formats have been added. For analog maps and images, material flow accounting has been implemented. The type of operation (issue, replenishment), document-basis, date and time are recorded.

Tools for work with directories of the metadata are added, allowing to expand the list of the metadata and to support various versions of metadata. Directories can be grouped by themes. All changes in directories require approval if they were made by a user who does not have the right to approve metadata. Viewing of archival directories allows you to control all made editing. Possibility of search of duplicated values has been added.

Data security is ensured by the differentiation of access rights based on security tools included in the operating system. Basic authentication, digest authentication, system authentication (via web server), and domain authentication (Kerberos or ActiveDirectory) are supported. The complex is adapted to work on a wide range of operating systems (Astra Linux SE, ALT Linux, Elbrus, Ubuntu, CentOS, MS Windows and others) and architectures (Intel, Elbrus, Baikal). The program is registered in the register of domestic software under the number 1862.

The databank of digital maps and remote sensing data is the basis for building infrastructure of spatial data of federal, regional and municipal levels, in corporate information systems. Within the framework of a single geoinformation space, the Data Bank of digital maps and remote sensing data realises gathering, storage, quality control, search and delivery of the spatial data in exchange formats. The spatial data selected by means of the program can be placed for the multiuser access on the GIS Server and be published according to the international standards OGC WFS, WFS-T, WMS, WMTS, WCS on application server the GIS WebService SE. Users can access data from both a thin client (by means of GIS WebServer SE) and from desktop applications (GIS "Panorama", GIS "Operator"). The databank of digital maps and remote sensing data provides construction of cloud warehouse of spatial data, provision of access to these data, the automated formation and updating of geocovers.

The current state of spatial data is displayed by means of maps-schemes that are maintained for each type of stored data: vector maps, remote sensing data, elevation matrixes and terrain models. It provides remote placing the sets of spatial data into file warehouse, keeping versions of stored sets, updating maps-schemes of data availability, the automated collection and formation of metadata, and the formation and updating of geocovers. Automated collection and formation of metadata is performed according to the standards of ISO 19115: 2003, Geographic information - Metadata and ISO/TS 19139, Geographic information - Metadata - XML schema implementation. The reduced copies of data images are automatically formed, checksum of files and completeness of data sets are checked. Placement of spatial data into file storage is performed with integrity check, control of data structure and content. The results of the work are recorded and are entered into the metadata base. Automatic backup of metadata and spatial data storage with integrity control and data recovery has been provided. Multilingual interface is supported.

The portal "Bank of spatial data" presents the possibilities of organizing storage, accounting and and issuance of vector maps, remote sensing data, matrixes of heights and the terrain models. The portal contains vector maps in SXF format, generated on the basis of data from open sources (OpenStreetMap, VMap0). The spatial data includes maps of: subjects of the Russian Federation, countries and cities of the near and far abroad. In total, over 240 vector maps and 6700 matrix data with a total volume of 56 GB. Specialists of KB "Panorama" weekly update and refresh the content of the information on the portal. All published data is distributed free of charge under a free license.

The new version of the program is available for download on the Download page.

To use smartphones as an effective means of displaying and analyzing spatial data, KB "Panorama" has developed a mobile application (for iOS and Android) and modernized GIS WebServer SE to support the operation of the mobile application by means of cloud storage and data processing. The mobile application provides access to public data of the geoportal operating under the control of GIS WebServer SE and allows you to search and filter objects in the system, to view information about found objects, to build traffic routes and geolocation.

The mobile application is adapted for use as part of the state information system "Regional geoinformation system of the Ryazan region" (RGIS RO). In 2021, in order to inform an unlimited number of users of RGIS RO about objects of social, transport, telecommunications infrastructure, financial organizations, investment sites in the Ryazan Region, the system was supplemented with a mobile application and a mobile version of the RGIS RO website.

The mobile application as part of the RGIS RO is intended for viewing and analyzing public data sorted by categories, information about the state and dynamics of development of objects and territories. The mobile application expands the range of users of the system and makes it available not only to government officials, but also to a wide range of users - for citizens, organizations, including potential investors and companies that participate in urban planning activities. The development of RGIS RO is one of the important tasks that the government of the Ryazan Region is implementing as part of the digital transformation of the region.

The client part of RGIS RO is implemented in the form of a single geoportal on the Internet and a mobile application. The server part runs under the control of the domestic operating system Astra Linux Special Edition and consists of GIS WebService SE, GIS WebServer SE and GIS Server. Preparation of data for publication is carried out in the GIS "Panorama". All software products are included in the register of domestic software and comply with information security requirements for level 2 of control over the absence of undeclared possibilities.

On December 23, 2021, an online intensive the "Software and services in the agro-industrial complex" took place. The event was organized by the FGBU VO the Russian state agrarian correspondence university. More than 70 representatives of universities who are interested in introducing information technologies of advanced agricultural enterprises into the educational process, a forming the IT competencies of students of the trained ones.

Representatives of KB "Panorama" made a presentation on the topic "Remote access to the management system of an agricultural enterprise in the field of crop production based on GIS "Panorama AGRO". During the speech, the main capabilities of GIS WebServer AGRO were identified, as well as its real application as a module for accounting for agricultural lands of the regional geoinformation system of the Ryazan region was demonstrated.

GIS WebServer AGRO is a system of software modules that together make it possible to build complex distributed and scalable corporate information systems that provide automation of business processes for agricultural management of an agricultural enterprise. GIS WebService SE is used as a source of cartographic data. The database of cartographic data is operated by the GIS Server. The configuration of the sectoral database of soil fertility is carried out using the GIS "Panorama AGRO".

Specialists of KB "Panorama" prepared and placed the map of the Stavropol Krai on the geoportal "Bank of spatial data". The map was formed using OpenStreetMap data, source data was obtained from Geofabrik website. To work with the map, you can use the GIS Panorama Mini program or other software products of KB "Panorama".

The map was led to the modernised classifier of large-scale plans of scale 1: 5 000 (map5000m) and was saved into a packed project (MPTZ). The MPTZ format project includes a digital map of the region's territory (country, subject of the federation, administrative region), a map of the administrative-territorial division of the region and a digital classifier. Publishing of updates in bank of spatial data is made by using the program of Databank of digital maps and remote sensing data. Publishing contents of bank of spatial data on the geoportal and data access for downloading are implemented by means of GIS WebServer SE.

Free maps on the basis of OpenStreetMap data are available for download on the page "Digital maps".
