JSC "Institute of economics and development of transport" (JSC "IERT") is carrying out full-scale work on digitalization of the circulation of documents of territorial planning of railway transport. All work is performed using domestic software. The geoinformation web-application created on the basis of GIS WebServer SE provides access for employees of the institution to documents and information of territorial planning for viewing, comparative analysis and printing images of graphic and text documents. With the participation of specialists of KB "Panorama", web services were introduced to automatically create and update map layers that reflect the existing infrastructure, promising and implemented measures for the development of railway transport in the context of the administrative-territorial division of the Russian Federation.

A feature of the architecture of the automated system "Territory" is the embedding of the usual means of entering and editing information used by the specialists of JSC "IERT" to maintain a digital database of promising and implemented measures for the development of the railway transport infrastructure. At the same time, the developed means of information interaction of geoinformation modules with the above databases automatically provide request and receipt of information, creation and updating of cartograms by methods of thematic mapping, web-publication of maps and documents for viewing and analysis in the form of a single information resource of the institution. When generating cartograms, there is used the OKTMO of borders of objects of administrative-territorial division of the Russian Federation, including federal districts, subjects of the Russian Federation, municipal districts, urban districts, urban and rural settlements.

In the course of its activities, JSC "IERT" conducts an examination of documents of territorial planning, socio-economic development in conjunction with information on promising and implemented measures for development of the infrastructure of railway transport. The computer-aided system "Territory", which was created, automates the processes of distributing information and documents for constituent entities and municipalities of the Russian Federation. Creation of thematic cartograms reflecting the territorial distribution of activities for the development of existing and planned facilities of railway transport infrastructure is carried out on the scheme of the railway network, with reference to the Centralized Regulatory and Reference Information (CNSI). Works on preparation of railway transport schemes and cartograms of actions for infrastructure development are carried out in the GIS "Panorama" environment with use of additional module developed on the basis of MAPAPI.

In KB "Panorama" the GIS Constructor version 14.1.0 has been developed for the operating system "Astra Linux Special Edition" (Release "Smolensk"). In the new version the display of clusters used for grouping the point conventional symbols on a map has been improved. Into the cluster description the property "Display the first character in the cluster" has been added. When it is set, in the position of the cluster sign the first object in the cluster will be displayed first, and then the cluster sign. In this case, the cluster sign can contain only the number of objects or other complementary elements of the conventional symbol. When drawing an object, various semantics can be taken into account, including links to graphic files, which makes the generalized sign more complex and informative. The initial opening and display of large sets of vector maps and spatial databases containing several million objects and more, has been accelerated. Construction of the objects tree when opening the datasets has been accelerated. The new version of the program is adapted to work in the OS "Astra Linux Special Edition" release "Smolensk" version 1.7.

To display various tabular information on the map, a new graphic symbol "Table" has been developed. To display the table in the desired position, a point object is created that has a link to the CSV file in the semantics and a conventional symbol of the "Table" type. A CSV file is a set of lines containing the values of one or more table fields (columns) separated by symbols - comma, semicolon, tab. The name of the CSV file is specified in the object semantics the "Text file". The table can contain from 1 to 256 columns. Each column allows you to place data of the selected type: text and numerical data, pictures in PNG, JPG, BMP format, colored figures and percentage scales. The table can consist of one or more pages. The number of pages is set in semantics "Number of table pages". The table width is calculated automatically based on the column widths, taking into account the number of pages and the distance between the pages. To display a part of the data of the CSV file in the table, the semantics "First table row" and "End table row" are specified.

The map with the created tables will have one view in desktop, mobile, web-applications on any platforms, with local placement or on the GIS Server and at printing. A layer with tables can be opened on top of any other data - spatial databases, geoportals, remote sensing data. The map, together with CSV files and background data, can be packed into one file of SITZ/MAPZ/MPTZ formats. With the help of objects of the new "Table" image the various statistical data on financial, environmental, economic, medical, tax, meteorological, demographic topics can be presented, which can be obtained on the websites of the Federal State Statistics Service. Statistical data can be displayed both for Russia as a whole, and for various indicators for municipalities in the Database of indicators of municipalities.Different layers of the map can contain tables for different themes and years. Tables, like other objects, can have visibility scale ranges. At updating the table the data will change accordingly on a map.

The user interface of the program has been improved for use in operating systems with a high density of displaying images on the screen. This expands the range of application of the software product on devices with reduced screen sizes - portable laptops, specialized tablets and other similar devices. The program interface of the dialogs makes the most of the opportunities provided by the layout system of the elements of the visual design environment. This allows you to get the design of dialogs adapted to the display parameters in accordance with the settings of the operating system.

The interface of the dialog for importing graphic files into RSW format has been modernized at using files of a binding. The user selects the possibility of using data from the binding's file by setting the appropriate checkbox in the dialog. The program carries out search of a binding's file by coincidence of its name with raster file name. If a single file of binding is found in a search result, data from this file is automatically loaded. If there are several binding files of the same name in different formats, then the choice of the file used when loading graphic data is provided to the user. The structure of storing arrays of colors for primitives of 3D-models of the DB3D format has been improved. Import of a cloud of points from MTD format into format DB3D has been changed. Display of DB3D-models with use of new possibilities of a format was improved. In the QDMapPointAcces component there is added a support for converting coordinates in the map coordinate system to geodetic coordinates in the WGS84 coordinate system and vice versa.

GIS Constructor is a set of geoinformation components for use in the visual programming environment of Qt Designer, which allows you to develop your own GIS applications. The visualization of the contents of digital maps is made in conventional symbols adopted for topographic, geographical and various special maps. Geoinformation system has ample opportunities for performing calculations, for providing display of spatial data on various graphic devices in standard and user systems of conventional symbols. The main functions can be executed in multithreaded mode. It supports automatic optimization of used memory for processing large amounts of data (tens of gigabytes) on limited resources (hundreds of megabytes).

The toolkit is adapted for work on a wide range of operating systems (Astra Linux SE, ALT Linux, Elbrus, Ubuntu, CentOS, QNX) and architectures (Intel, Elbrus, PowerPC, SPARC, ARM). The toolkit includes components of visual designing the GIS applications and library of a multiplatform multithreaded GIS core. GIS Constructor provides a cross-platform MAPAPI interface that allows a programmer to implement development in an operating system convenient for it. The developer can release GIS applications for a set of operating systems by simple assembly with minimal changes to the program source code.

The new version of the program is available for download in the Download section.

In KB "Panorama" the digital geographic maps of scale 1: 1 000 000 in format SXF onto territory of Romania and the Republic of Bulgaria have been prepared. As a source for preparation of the map the VMap0 data obtained from the information from the site www.gis-lab.info has served. The maps contain information on the number of inhabitants for cities and the name of settlements in Russian. As additional materials the World map of scale 1: 5 000 000 and OpenStreetMap data were used.

The maps were led to the classifier of geographic maps of scale 1: 1 000 000 (1mogk13g.rsc). It can be used for a general assessment of the area and the study of natural conditions, to ensure the educational process, as a basis for the creation of geographic maps of a smaller scale, thematic and special maps, and solving other tasks. The map is distributed free of charge under a free license.

Digital geographic maps of scale 1: 1 000 000 in SXF format are available for download on the page "Digital maps".

Specialists of KB "Panorama" have prepared a video lesson of using the "Cut new areas" mode. The mode is available for starting in the "Workstation of cadastral engineer", GIS "Panorama", "Panorama-editor" and is designed to create new areal objects located inside the specified one. For example, when designing the position of new sections within the allocated area. The user needs to activate the "Cut new areas" mode, select the polygon to be dissected, then set the line along which the cutting will take place. The line is set by specifying two arbitrary points on the map. After selecting an object, a dialog appears on the screen, in which the area and the number of new objects are specified. There are three options for formation:

- the number of new objects is specified and the program calculates their area;

- the area of new objects, stripes or squares is specified and the program calculates their number;

- the dimensions of the rectangle are specified and the program calculates their number.

The areas are cut by segments that are perpendicular to the line specified by the user. You can get acquainted with the training materials in the "Video lessons" section.

In KB "Panorama" the GIS "Operator" version 14.3.0 has been developed. In the new version of the program, the operator.rsc classifier has been improved, the list of programmable signs has been expanded, tools for editing the spatial databases, connection of geoportals, a processing of events from remote video cameras have been improved.

In accordance with the KEUS in the operator.rsc classifier, the display of conventional symbols in the Border bodies layer has been improved: 725021230 Area (zone) of territorial claims of neighboring states, 725021260 Area (region) of a possible frontier armed conflict - on the basis of a new symbol of type the cross polygon with offset.

New type of programmable signs has been added for displaying pie and bar charts according to the semantics of objects with display in a legend of semantics values (in addition to a sign displaying values in percentage). The description of diagrams includes a list of codes of semantics corresponding to sectors of the diagram. For each semantics the own parameters of displaying a sector are set. For all diagram the maximum width and the maximum height of the diagram are set. To the right of the diagram its legend is displayed. Texts of lines for signing of sectors are taken from semantics names, excepting repeating part of names. For example, if the semantics are called Number of inhabitants under 20 years old, Number of inhabitants from 20 to 40 years old, then the legend will contain the following lines: up to 20 years old, from 20 to 40 years old, and so on. The conventional symbol the "Bar chart" is shown in the data example on the map \Data\shape.

Possibility has been added for automatic assigning a map at recording objects for the maps opened from spatial databases, working under management of a DBMS. The *.dbm map can now be assigned a filter that determines the list of objects that are allowed to be saved onto this map. Thus, since such a map is physically a table in the database, the possibility of writing of alien objects into this table is limited.

For example, into a table intended for storing the spatial layer "Routes of passenger transport" it is impossible to write down objects corresponding to the layers "Objects of cultural heritage", "Health institutions". The filter specified for the *.dbm map, which allows recording only areal objects with classification codes corresponding to the "Routes of passenger transport" layer, will not allow recording other objects into this map. When *.dbm maps are opened together (for example, as part of an *.mpt project) that have the filters, described above, they are combined into logical groups, within which objects can be automatically redistributed upon recording. Automatic redistribution of objects works both when saving an object after it has been created/modified using the object editor, and at operations of a streaming insert of objects (Ctrl+C) or recoding (changing conventional a symbol) of one object or group.

The task of connecting geoportals has been improved. There is added a support for arbitrary user matrixes in local coordinate systems with user-defined reference points and arbitrary axes direction. It will allow to connect any data in BIR and GeoPackage format. Support of seamless coverings from Bank of base products of the Russian space systems (RSS) has been added. Access is based on the api-key obtained in the user's personal account. The bank contains data from various spacecraft, such as BKA, KANOPUS-B, KANOPUS-V-IK, METEOR-M, RESURS-P and others. Seamless coverings are presented in the form of a tile substrate for various territories of the Russian Federation in separate regions. Support of OpenStreetMap geoportal has been improved. New layers of data were added: map of airports, humanitarian map, map of transport.

Ability has been added to view real-time events from remote cameras connected to the Internet. Events include: the movement of people, cars and other objects, the determination of the fact of crossing the perimeter of the closed zone, the appearance or disappearance of objects, the determination of the facts of vandalism and sabotage. All these actions can be tracked if they fall within the visibility zone of video cameras, connection to which will be customized on the terrain map. Video cameras must support the appropriate video analytics functions and the ONVIF standard for interaction with IP cameras.

You can set up receiving events from video cameras available on the map in the "List of photo and video data" mode dialog of the "Share your photos with the coordinates of the shooting" task. The location of video cameras on the map, city plan, building, industrial area, three-dimensional model is indicated using various conventional symbols (objects). Objects can be moving if the camera is mounted on a vehicle. Setting up a connection to a video camera is carried out in the "Select object" dialog through adding value of semantics "Link to video image" or in the mode "Setting up and viewing a connection to a video camera" of the "Share your photos with the coordinates of the shooting" task. Integration of geodata with video streams and service of receiving the events of video analytics simplifies construction of systems of monitoring the state of the area, traffic control, security systems and others.
