hello and welcome to technology update this month we're embracing the snowy season to bring you some of the latest innovations from the world of winter sports thinking things all for here at the complex in southern russia where the tracks for the sochi two thousand and fourteen olympics are facing their first test just a week after the first russian cup stages wrapped up in mid february sixty athletes from twelve countries christened rosa khutor first stage in the alpine european cup men's downhill rave reviews were won by the brand new track the first of its kind in caliber on russian soil the top time however went to austria. back in september two thousand and nine we showed you. already under construction but with a great deal of. along vision restored complex along the ridge tension is a key part of russia's sochi twenty fourteen olympic bid and the complex has come a long way in a short time span the technical backbone of the scheme is an extensive and efficient. to make sure that those of the best no expense was spared which total

cost estimated six hundred fifty million euro the result in two thousand and eleven is stage one completion for the enjoyment of. as well as international. this season four of the projected. opening kilometers of. helping sounds of visitors reach rosa hooter's heights is the russian aerialist producer scott. scott is production facilities in the volga river city of simyra are the birthplace of this high tech high altitude hardware along with their world renowned austrian partners my own they cover over three fourths of the alpine lived . in russia and the c.i.s. . scotto is not a newcomer in the industry and myself have been running the company for over twenty five years. it's an enterprise with a long history of constructing roadways. and virtually all area lifts in the former

soviet union but the skiff we designed supplied and set up the hot with all of the . variations of the elevated group we have been used for many centuries but the real boost came with the invention of the steel broke aerial cargo transport was adopted by many industries because of its relatively high speed and low cost particularly for mineral extraction complex doing. in the second half of the twentieth century enthusiasm for alpine skiing experienced a world wide in the caucasus mountains in what was then the silvie union were no exception with the unique climate in many of the highest peaks in europe resorts popped up throughout the region demanding developed infrastructure it was a task tailor made for scotto whose aerialists played a vital supporting role. today scott it was a post soviet private company with the same passion for aerial transport systems.

modern lifts require mass scale metal working to turn out sturdy pull wheels precise guide rails and monumental support towers. time tested welding techniques help ensure a culture durable strength joints will be further inspected with x. ray ultrasound in magnetic tests it's a slow and tedious process but the skilled personnel has to make sure that each part is capable of withstanding not just the cargo load but also the cold the wind and the pressure nature is sure to find a long. video of the since nine hundred ninety seven scott has set up more than two hundred fifty installations across russia and the commonwealth of independent states depending on the level of. city. just from one hundred percent in the case of surface lives. could be fifty to sixty percent if we're talking about. very complex transport systems including high speed.

passenger capacity. with human lives and literally in the balance the middle underpinnings of the aerialists have to be absolutely fail proof a process called how did galvanising is employed on scottish constructions by partner firm and some are in neighbors probe much this is molten zinc not a bad seed want to jump in to escape the russian winter bondsmen allergic to the steel and forms a protective layer as with any steel or metal installation the towers and beams that hold up ski lifts are susceptible to failure from rusting corrosion the dangers of which are elevated in this case by harsh weather conditions galvanising offers more than a shiny exterior it should add to destructors lifespan by resisting these forces of nature. into the 1980's at one of the international exhibitions i got acquainted with the manages to. train company which is the world's leading design and construction of a nine hundred ninety seven the long negotiations we finally agreed to establish

a joint enterprise point we had developed our own unique technical solutions but we also wanted to introduce as cutting edge ideas in the russian market. has become a household name not just in the famous austrian alps but around the world today the company has billboard then fourteen thousand installations in over eighty countries. specialist travel frequently to training in the partnership has helped the austrians enter the growing russian market. so our part. in the russia. the. here. check this you check. the pension system for example you have to write for us. the third is. in russia.

for example the station. planning in building lists for ski areas is no overnight study engineering it calls for painstaking geographic and topographical analysis. the full cycle from site inspection designed. until the. snow seeking skiers to get there they spend weeks in the field making sure the right route is be selective the task is a careful balance between cost effectiveness and ease of engineering not every lift can be laid along the shortest line from point a to point b. often ski lodges and basic. easy proximity to access roads and parking facilities meeting scott those lifts a lot of work to get you to the slopes as practice in the sochi twenty fourteen olympic skier has shown up to the test. in the international olympic committee.

to the twenty fourteen winter olympics. the aerialists company were the only technical installations that were up and running at that time. for the. commission. has been building in the cluster since the one nine hundred eighty s. when it first put it. at the nearby gazprom complex has constructed six modern lines including one hundred men one six person chair lift two for chair lifts and two basic t. bars. edition of the olympic ski hill where scotto is behind three hundred person gondolas and one six man chair lift in addition scott i will help build with the website claims will be the longest try cable people mover in the world to take skiers and eventually olympic spectators from the future train station to the

complex. right outside of los. all season option if you want to hone your skills snowboard skills before the trip down to sochi. maybe a beginner but the show offs were still making me nervous about my first ever snowboard attempts scotto as list solution for the concave curved enclosed complex was impressive but already the least of my worries as natasha tried to get me started down the slope sliding cautiously i wasn't the fastest learner and despite helpful coaching i was starting to wish for more familiar skis since i seem to be spending the lion's share of my time on my backside. actually is feel like that doesn't hurt so bad thanks to the snow they've got influences but if i'm going to go in a room i clearly need to figure out how to train myself a little bit better. luckily i didn't have to look too far and this seems nish kind of complex russian inventers me on wheel off and duty machine and have set up

a training center using their one of a kind interactive carving simulator in a market full of gym equipment for advanced athletes on one end and video games for casual consumers on the other the dinham found a use for me and filled it by combining and improving the two the result is an incredibly realistic training exercise experience the physical interaction. only now with a more impressive landscape and gates for targets. as you to coach me on the elusive key here was finding and properly controlling my balance over the board. obviously my form leaves much to be desired. so let's break down how a properly trained athlete would look tech simulator pushing off of one it. has to transfer their weights fluidly from side to side while maintaining a ford center balance just as they would crossing and then turning on a real slope here's the contours of that slope imitated by electric motors. on

rails and is pulled by steel ropes connected to the motors and reduction gears. sensors detect both in position of the rider relaying this information through the computer to the motors to simulate a turn and to the software to reproduce realistic motion on the screen. the steel is made in russia. trying to develop in cooperation with the national park. to make and test. three months to put together a simulator from scratch if you place an order for a model and we already have. to supply the final product with. my simulated board i was starting to get the hang of it and a serious workout in the process before long it was able to personalize the experience in crank up the difficulty increasing my speed altering the course and

penalize me for mr gates as yuri corrected my form and even cheered me on. to control the characteristics of the slope on the go. to change the position of the gates as needed. these features make the tree incredibly fit. you can change anything we say about adding you know. absolutely you can and. virtual slew. of part of the code for where we can place your logo. or will show. his name will be your martini no we take them down or up onto the billboard. and. your banner was a nice bonus but still more encouraging was the increasing speed the sound of

having to go outside and the feeling that sky was making a board. simulated workout you just hand it was in the traditional form i think you'd agree to those who. recently we have been testing our system in three d. we can try to create now with the help of these stereo glasses. the real thing or. after this. while i'm enjoying my newfound snowboarding skills it's easy to forget that not all the winter games are going to be on the slopes innovations are also popping up in preparation for other events on the black sea coast less than fifty kilometers from

krasnaya polyana smelting cluster the future olympic village parks stadiums and arenas are rising up in the city of sochi itself technology update first covered the state of the earth construction in its early stages back in late summer two thousand and nine and while the best laid plans were already breaking ground they've come a long way in a year and a half from foundations and frames the future venues have begun to take shape the bolshoi ice palace will be the centerpiece of the complex built for the olympic hockey tournament in training it will play home to hockey heroes from around the globe along with hordes of flag waving fans to cheer them on. as you see here will host the. hockey metal games can hold up to twelve thousand people. work on the frame of the building made of solid cast reinforced concrete as you can see we've also meant to the seventeen arched girders of the dome shaped roof now we're working on the roof itself forty two percent of the construction has become please or two up which means we are right in line with the building schedule. on

schedule in this case means not just ready for the feb twenty fourth teen olympiad but even earlier by late twenty twelve when sochi is slated to host this stage of the euro hockey tour the shiny silver show will eventually round out the intended for use in brain drug design leading a world class sports and entertainment arena to serve the city years after the torch has passed meanwhile builders have other big projects on their hands in the coastal cluster for more ice cold competition spectators will pack into the sochi olympic skating center built a slightly bigger dimensions to meet the demands of figure skating in short track racing events this center will also hold twelve thousand people and start hosting international championships in late two thousand and twelve. this influence but this venue has a unique large span roof top structure in terms of middle two thousand tons in total flexible connect to the mine from of the building to the city's engineering

solution will help to meet the highest saws make requirements and this absolutely unique in the russian construction industry would proceed with the. plans call for the skating center to be removable potentially for later use in another russian city it's a cash conserving design that will give sochi a top notch skating facility for the twenty fourteen games as well as the chance to choose their own future for the site in the years that follow a speed cycling track is already among possible proposal. twenty four team preparations is the offices of the specifically creating construction company . with so much under construction and deadlines it's an understandably busy scene special attention is. been focused on the sliding center back in the mountain cluster future home to the illusion bobsled and skeleton of it the unique track is already approaching completion in two thousand and eleven unlike a stadium sports like hockey or short track with tightly fixed layouts and dimensions each olympiad has a slightly different design for

a sliding center based on the natural setting. this. this particular side has favorable conditions school he soon ordered slope over monterey and there's a lesson to read some here that the ice will hold for long girls and so will do sports a season with the. budgets of the monsoon a relief conforms to the geometry of the track going to john ward meaning there will be fewer supporting structures. so as most of the track of hits to the contours of the slopes topography idea for this is the russian national sliding center hopes to overcome what many consider design flaws in previous tracks as a lose dead in frightening li fest being cooper last year reminded us these are dangerous sports and the builders are making for safer competition in sochi. no matter how much we love the beautiful male views not every day on the slopes to be perfectly sunny the same snow that gives us our precious powder can also rolled in

really sick and we need special food and to prevent a healthy build up from turning into a dead after. ski areas have a very fragile relationship with snow known as no fun and too much is it teaching time. when the levee breaks it's an earth trembling wall of white weighing thousands of tons moving it hundreds of kilometers an hour sparing nothing in its path to. the front line in the face of the snow situation is man by avalanche can. squads in the twenty first century they're equipped with increasingly versatile technology for accessing remote mountain areas even in inclement weather monitoring the size of drifts and easing the build up with remotely controlled snow blasts no amount of new gear will replace their vital role in alerting skiers and running operations with innovative

ideas can make their job easier and safer a key element in our avalanche defenses is a system of nets designed to hold back the ever growing snow pile but how can we monitor the tension built up behind these barriers without having to dig our way up here all winter long the answer could just be right inside these unassuming little encasements. the basic plastic box design might not have a candy in ski or money bitch but they're still made by a st petersburg based firm called evan guard and they could provide a revolutionary function in the avalanche early warning system. or sensors measure the length of the rope depending on the load it fair that usually when the rope is subjected to heightened tension it stretches and its dislike length that is detected and measured by our sensors to be ready with a chronic modules inside the casement can transmit the information about the strength to a remote computer so that any can immediately older

a snow removal operation. headquarters a monitoring center they keeps a constant eye on the distance. they're not replacing boots on the ground just yet but they're collecting valuable data to model the snowdrift trends and alert their frontline colleagues to see what the sensor is run an autonomous mode of sending signals through wireless connection to feel pressure doesn't need to search for information we need in the twenty first century and data should be coming to us not the other way around and. detention centers are a new concept being tested and improved on the fly for hardware that means seeing what the weather's all seasons in the volatile mountain climate then there's the question of. the data received from the. control eventually reducing required manpower. in terms of scientific and technical. we collaborate with

a number of western companies for example with the technical research center of finland several companies from germany switzerland and france he spoke to the participants in international projects and together we developed a new problem. is the it. makes products for more than just ski resorts since roads railways and population centers . and the rugged terrain around them may be far more. slopes and lifts. also includes all kinds of microelectronic detection systems with the most common application. infrastructure. of historical buildings to see flow of gas to residential complexes. power stations and the structural integrity of roads and bridges the. time line.

technology is pinned on the principle that it's. deal with the aftermath of an accident. back in moscow we can check out how technology is not just making safer but also helping. a system to be used. is already in place that this must. be the first thing you focus on when you're in the crowd at your favorite sporting event but only important refereeing has a high tech new look since the often hinges on close calls. his company's t.v. has the continental hockey league teams in stadiums to maximize. the odds of getting them right while you move through your team to put the result comfortably out of question video referee has its eyes on a game of inches. is adapted their strong background in video replay and multi-channel camera control systems to meet demands for professional hockey for

precise officiating is based on the client's budget in stadium infrastructure. up to eleven channels of high definition video monitoring with all these angles at their fingertips for making any number of tough calls judges are most concerned with the versatile comprehensible interface when the pressure's on time is of the essence many other sports that have resisted moves to video based. fast paced close confines decisions in the russian league is actually out in front of the american and in tackling the situation with technology to improve the. system not simply meet the international standards we set the benchmark meets higher requirements than those you found in the regulations of the n.h.l. national ice hockey federation are a good thing so it's a very advanced tool helping referees to take the right decision in ninety eight to ninety nine percent of goalline cases. it does mention moscow home sydenham had the

better record coming in and look strong in early play but the visitors from the vesuvius were not about to be bullied in the last match of the regular season my sure enough just six and a half minutes into the first period no suggest mounted a charge that had the lights flashing the crowd waiting anxiously and the refs making the call upstairs to the video referee down on the ice it looked like a near miss off the pipe but slow tv's equipment was needed for a closer look goalie no goal any often suppliers in the crease after careful review the replay confirmed the call and the number was state with no goal surrender. just a clip now that was the several years. the referees took decisions in disputed incidents on their own and very often fans and teams management questioned the ruling saying it was biased since last year we decided to stop this practice and introduce the position of video referee for example when the puck crosses the line in the last seconds of the game it's not clear whether it was before or after the

putting the developers to display the time on the screen so that the video referee could decide if we had five or six such moments last season and thanks to the improvements the referees made the right call on the part of we could show the teams look if you don't believe us we can always play back to tell you go to the field referee system works well for the cage shell confirming that the number would enter the playoffs coming off a two one overtime win. what about all the hockey action slated for sochi twenty fourteen slew of t.v.'s products will be in the bolshoi ice palace where it goes could translate to a limpid goal but. first because it provides the functionality we need. since many russian t.v. stations have used its equipment for many years. camera shoots of concerts or shows so much interest and third that it's cheaper and them similar products western companies and most importantly it's much better. t.v.

is already attempting to branch out to other sports basketball can come down to disputed close calls fencing to the slightest touch replays are often required to verify violations in short track speed skating soon more slow products could still make the sochi games our work for this edition is still on but the sochi two thousand and fourteen construction team is still working to make sure we have plenty more updates headed your way join us again next month and while the powder still fresh enjoy the ride.
