An automated medical control system is used in all bus depots of OOO Verkhnevolzhskoye ATP (Verkhnevolzhskoye Motor Transport Enterprise), a key carrier of the transport model in Tver and districts of the Tver region, with examination of 100% of drivers.


The automated medical monitoring system helps to obtain accurate data on the health of bus drivers, controls the absence of alcohol vapor concentration in exhaled air, records the measurement results and records the inspection process on video. Since its launch at the enterprise, drivers have undergone medical examinations through software and hardware systems over 713 thousand times, and the medical examination procedure now takes an average of 45-55 seconds - it has become 5 times faster.

Employees have their pulse, blood austria whatsapp number database pressure and other parameters measured, which are used to determine whether they are allowed to go out on the line or not.

"Passenger safety is our top priority. As part of remote medical examinations, drivers not only receive permission to travel, certified by a personal electronic signature of a medical worker, but also record and evaluate possible employee complaints about their health at the time of examination, all previous studies and recommendations of medical personnel are archived and analyzed, which allows us to track changes in a person's health, and also conduct psychophysiological tests for fatigue and control of drivers' attention. The new system gives us an extensive list of accurate medical data, by which we can objectively judge the well-being of each driver before a trip, and further improve transportation safety," said Oleg Demkin, General Director of Verkhnevolzhsky ATP.

Medical examination is carried out through special domestically produced terminals that allow identifying the employee. In total, 13 such terminals have been installed in the bus depots of Verkhnevolzhsky ATP.

The law, which allows examinations to be carried out with the participation of doctors connected remotely, came into force on September 1, 2023.
