KYIV. Feb 11 (Interfax-Ukraine) – The Infrastructure Ministry of Ukraine will create a Ukrainian roads geoinformation system thanks to funds received as part of the technical assistance from the European Union (EU), the director of the road market and transportation strategic development of the ministry, Roman Khmil wrote on his Facebook page.
“We’ve received financing for the creation of the Ukrainian roads geoinformation system. We want to create an integrated system that would be useful both for road workers, sector managers and the public,” he said.
Khmil said that earlier similar projects were created by volunteers, although they had restricted opportunities.
“The next step is designing of technical specifications that would describe the requirements to the system. Then we put it for the open and transparent tender,” Khmil wrote.
The ministry’s press service told Interfax-Ukraine that the EU technical assistance for the projects in the transport area will reach UAH 294 million, and some of the funds will be sent to the creation of the geoinformation system.
