This document proposes the PulseTrack Project, which is a satellite monitoring system to automatically track railway transport in Russia. Currently there is no stable automatic monitoring system, and tracking is done manually by dispatchers calling stations. The project aims to develop flexible GPS/GLONASS trackers to attach to transport containers and wagons. These would send location data via satellite to software to provide real-time monitoring. The founders estimate the market size could support selling 1.2 million devices and generating over 800 million rubles in revenue through device and software sales. They are seeking 30 million rubles in investment over 3 years to develop prototypes and software.
2. The problem of transport control
For now, there is no stable operating
automatic monitoring system of railway
transport in Russia
????????????????
3. Main railway transporters
Along with the OJSC "Russian Railways“,
major railway carriers in our country are
OJSC "Gazprom“, OJSC "Rosneft" and
OJSC "LUKOIL"
27 000 cars 16 000 cars
14 000 cars
4. The current solution to the problem
Currently, the problem monitoring of
railway Transport OJSC “Russian
Railways” is solved by assistance
program “Location wagons”. The data
come in the program from dispatchers
sorting and migratory stations by
phone.
5. Possible consequences
The existing monitoring system railway
transport can lead to the dramatic events.
6. Market size and possibilities
According with analytical center Omnicomm the Russian
monitoring equipment market in 2013 reached $ 250 mln.
Market growth rate increases by 15-20% per year.
Participants market of GPS / GLONASS devices
represent only for vehicles. Devices for railway segment
almost have no competitors. The projected size of the
market for railway trackers for 2015 - 1.2 mln. devices.
Analytical agency Berg Inside predicts market
growth for railway tracking,
personal protection, health
care, insurance, personal
tracking.
7. Existing competitors
There are several products on the market, which are
closed to our product, but differ by functionality and
characteristics. Company Geostron (product Geostron-
RW). This solution is not designed for tank,has large
size and a lot of components. It requires a constant
supply and service.
Company Shturman (product
GPS Wagon). This solution
requires rigid fasteners,
installation with special tools,
constant power and service.
8. Legal transportation requirements
In accordance with the railway
Transportation Rules from 05.04.1996
№15, used cars should be sealed and
danger labels should
be certanly marked.
Danger lable
UN lable
Locking
Seal
Device
10. Project business model
Estimated revenues will form
through device sales and
software monthly fee.
Name title Quantity Sales revenue Cost of sales Profit
GPS/GLONASS tracker 1,2 mln. pcs 1,2 bln. rub 624 mln. rub 576 mln. rub
PulseTrack software 5 complects 150 mln. rub 10 mln. rub 290 mln. rub
Total 866 mln. rub
11. Investment requirement
We plan to attract 30 mln. rub. for 3 years.
This money will be directed for creation
tracker prototypes,
software development,
trackers testing.
Attracted investments will
be used for remuneration
employees and further
development of the
project.
