The invention relates to control systems and is directed at defining the state of transportation means (TM) in normal and extreme conditions. Each TM is fitted with a power-on radio-beacon station (RB) whose signals are retransmitted by means of geostationary Artificial Earth Satellites (AES) of the integrated variety to mated ground stations for reception of information. In extreme situations of TM, the transmission of information from RB is carried out continuously by signal sets with a gap of up to I within the narrow band in a wave-range of 400 MHz which is provided for transmitting emergency signals with the aid of AES. In the normal conditions, signal transmission is carried out in a narrow adjacent band with intervals between sets of greater than 10 sec. An 20-30-fold increase of a transfer bandwidth of the system is ensured by means of a synchronous transmission of the information sets from RB one after another with small time gaps. Synchronism is obtained by means of accurate time marks emitted by RB receivers from navigation systems of the earth satellites of GPS and/or GLONASS.
A system of global automatic monitoring of transport vehicles (TV) under normal and extreme conditions, based on transmission of signals from the radio beacons installed in the vehicle to ground data collection centers via artificial Earth satellites characterized in that each transport vehicle is equipped with one, constantly operational during the vehicle's movement and stopovers, combined radio beacon of instantaneous response, which ensures, under the extreme conditions, the practically uninterrupted (continuous) transmission of data batches with less than one second intervals in the narrow bandwidth of 400 MHz range, dedicated to space retransmission of distress signals, and, under normal conditions, ensures transmission of monitoring signal batches on the neighboring frequency band with intervals between batches over 10 sec, with both kind of batches being retransmitted via unified multifunctional geostationary satellites to the associated ground data collecting centers of multifunctional type.
