For a number of years, IBRAE RAS has run the activities to form the bank of topographic and subject-matter electronic maps/plans of various scales.
Principal tasks of the IBRAE Bank of Electronic Maps are formulated as follows:
Development of a cartographic basis to support specialized GIS, information-reference systems, information-modeling and training systems developed at IBRAE;
Cartographic support of works on analysis of environmental impacts of facilities of FAEA (former Minatom) and the whole Fuel and Power Complex (FPC) on personnel, population and environment;
On-line cartographic support of IBRAE activities in the areas of ensuring safe operation of radiation and radiation-hazardous facilities in Russia and analysis of implications of potential radiation incidents.
Based on original software and utilization of MAPINFO GIS opportunities, a number of specialized information and prognostic geoinformation technology-based systems has been created Special software modules also are designed for the following - organize an enquiry to retrieve and look through a required map, navigations all over Russia with automatic loading of required electronic maps; access from the map window to information and enquiry data on radiation hazardous objects of FAAE of Russia, provide on electronic maps the results of visualization of radiation monitoring data.
