going to appeal. and russia launches an ambitious mission to upgrade its army over the next ten years moscow was planning to spend six hundred fifty billion dollars hard to project. what had lines and is continues out of top of the hour while next learn about the latest gadgets and high tech developments with our team technology update us coming your way next. 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 think things offer here at the rosa khutor 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 tough time however twenty austrian many well trained . back in september two thousand and nine we showed you will draw our version of those are foods that are already under construction but with a great deal of work ahead along vision restore complex along the eco bridge tension is a key part of russia so she twenty fourteen olympic bid and a complex has come a long way in a short time span the technical backbone of the any world class ski area is an extensive and efficient set of wits to make sure the girls of their head the best no expense was spared with total costs estimated at six hundred fifty million euro the result in two thousand and eleven is stage one completion for the enjoyment of the average ski and to see this as well as international start this season four of

the projected eighteen lists are up and running opening up thirty kilometers of. helping fountains 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 double my own they cover over three fourths of the alpine in the market in russia and the c.i.s. company scotto is not a newcomer in the industry i myself have been running the company for over twenty five it is. it's an enterprise with a long history of constructing roadways with a pretty i think it's going to virtually all every. well it's in the former soviet union but the. supplied and set up the hardware for all of the. variations of the elevated group way have been used for many centuries with the real boost came with the invention of the steel rope aerial cargo transport was

adopted by many industries because of its relatively high speed and low cost particularly for mineral extraction ie complex touring. in the second half of the twentieth century enthusiasm for alpine skiing experienced a worldwide boom in the caucasus mountains in what was then the silvie 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 lives 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 string 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 in nature is sure to find a long. video of the ship though 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 complexity got as input ranges from one hundred percent in the case of surface lifts chairlifts or it could be fifty to sixty because said if we're talking about it was running very complex transport systems including high speed lifts with higher passing. capacity. with human lives literally in the balance the middle underpinnings of the aerialists have to be absolutely essential proves the process called how did galvanising is employed on scottish constructions by partner firms and some are and neighbors probed much this

is most in sync not about you'd want to jump in to escape the russian winter visit bondsmen allegedly 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 positive galvanising offers more than a shiny exterior it should a two destructors lifespan by resisting these forces of nature. the end of the 1980's at one of the international exhibitions i got acquainted with the managers from the austrian company which is the world's leader in roadway design and construction of the united ninety seven of the long negotiations we finally agreed to establish a joint enterprise point we developed our own unique technical solutions but we also wanted to introduce documents cutting edge ideas in the russian markets was a. jumper wire has become a household name not just in the famous austrian alps but around the world today

the company has built more than fourteen thousand installations in over countries scott a specialist travel frequently did come here for training and the partnership has helped the austrians enter the growing russian market. because. they are so our part of the installation russia so. it's here all my protocol. check the praxis you check brakes the second is the pension system for example you have to write for the right loads the first strike is convey a sky. it made a factor here in russia and also your mates for example the station there is virtually all thier. work together. planning in building lifts for ski

areas is no overnight study engineering it calls for painstaking geographical and topographical analysis scotto handles the full cycle from site inspection design and planning proposal until the poles are up and the chairs are full of snow c.t.c. years to get there they spend weeks in the field making sure the right route is be selected the task is a careful balance between cost effectiveness and ease of engineering not every lead can be laid along the shortest line from point a to point b. often ski lodges and base areas are located in easy proximity to access roads and parking facilities meeting scott has a list a lot of work to get used to slopes as practiced in the sochi twenty fourteen olympic skier he has shown there up to the task. when the international olympic committee visited across. to decide with us so she was eligible to play host to the twenty fourteen winter olympic games to save the area live set up by

a company where the only technical installations that welkin running at that time the sort of there was showcased to the i.o.c. evaluation commission. scotto has been building in the krasnaya polyana cluster since the 1980's when it first put up for lace of the l. because serious resort at the nearby gazprom complex scott has constructed six modern lines including one hundred men gondola one six person chair lift two for chair lifts and two basic t. bars the newest additions are at mil's of the olympic skier hill where scott was behind three hundred person gondolas and one six man chair lift in addition scott it 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. so the lower guess prone complex. right hand side of must else nish home is a scotto built all season option if you want to hone your skills snowboard skills before the trip down to sochi. maybe

a beginner hill but the show offs were still making me nervous about my first ever snowboard attempts scott his list solution for the concave curving close 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 got influences but if i'm going to. 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 filemon wheel off and uni machine and have set up a training center using their one of a kind sky take 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 gym found

a use for me and filled it by combining and improving it to the result is an incredibly realistic training exercise experience the physical interaction the mirror just a short while earlier only now with a more impressive landscape engage 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 on sky take simulator pushing off of one edge to ski or snowboard or has to transfer their weight fluidly from side to side while maintaining a ford center of balance just as they would crossing and then turning on a real slope here's the contours of the. it's imitated by electric motors this skier board frame rests on rails and is pulled by steel ropes connected to the motors and reduction gears i'll tell it trying to sensors detect both the edge angle and position of the rider relaying this information through the computer to

the motors to simulate it turning into the software to reproduce realistic motion on the screen. in this deal is made in russia software and power trying to think developed in cooperation with our international partners see the first prototype took a year to make and test currently winning three months to put together a simulator from scratch if you place an order for a model and we already have the spare parts for the one we are ready to supply the final product with you must get. back on my simulated board i was starting to get the hang of it and it's serious work out in the process before long tailed was able to personalize the experiencing crank up the difficulty increasing my speed altering the course and penalize me for miss gates as yuri corrected my form and even cheered me on. to college he says the ability to control the characteristics of this move on the go.

software allows the instructor to change the position of the gates as needed so that these features make the training incredibly fissions. something you can change anything we say come out at any of our team logo or. absolutely you can at any objects to your virtual slew of this is the most here's the part of the code for it downers so where would you place your logo. that it will show them you know if your channel fourteen no we take and then are off on to the billboard right so you know it's really an we go. about. your banner was a nice bonus but still more encouraging was the increasing. beat the sound of having to go to school and the feeling that sky was making a boarder at a. simulated workout he just had it was in the traditional g four announced i think you'd agree to miriam realistic but to

recently we have been testing our system in three d. we can try it out right now with the help of these terrible s.s. . oh men who is the real thing or thing that i listed after this i can't wait to get out a story. 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 because nobody on this mountain cluster the future olympic village park stadiums and arenas are rising up in the city of sochi itself technology of the first covered the studio construction and it's really stages back in the 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 tournaments training it will play home to hockey heroes from around the globe along with hordes of flag waving fans to cheer them on. those oil ice palace you see here will host the hockey medal games and can hold up to twelve thousand people as it was an issue work on the frame of the building made of solid cast reinforced concrete as well as you can see we've also matched the seventeen arched girders of the toe shape roof now we're working on the roof itself forty two percent of the construction has become pleasers which means we're right in line with the building schedule but i think the schedule in this case means not just ready for the february twenty fourth team olympia but even earlier by late twenty's well when sochi is slated to host this stage of the euro hockey tour this shiny

silver show will eventually round out the intended for use in brain drug design leaving 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 builds 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 change in shifts in late two thousand and twelve good to build a good business but this venue has a unique log spanning rooftop structure in terms of middleware talking two thousand times in total linked by flexible connectors to the main front of the building through the city's engineering solution will help to meet the highest saws make requirements and is 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. to command center for sochi twenty four team preparations is the offices of the specifically creating construction company a limb steroid with so much under construction and deadlines approaching its and understandably busy scene special attention has been focused on the sliding center back in the mountain cluster future home to the aleutian bobsled and skeleton events the uni track is already approaching completion in two thousand and eleven unless steam sports like hockey are 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 at least in northern slope over monterey begun and there is a less direct sun here the ice will hold for long girls and so will do sports

a seasonal. but i do think the monsoon a relief conforms to the geometry of the track going to john warden meaning there will be fewer supporting structures. so as most of the detractors fits in the contours of the slopes topography of this is the russian national sliding center hopes to overcome what many consider design flaws in previous tracks as a lose dead end frighteningly festering 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 mountain 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 prevent a healthy build up from turning into a dead after. ski

areas have a very fragile relationship with snow is no fun and too much is a ticking time bomb. 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 past. the front line in the face of the snow situation is manned by avalanche control squads in the twenty first century they're equipped with increasingly versatile technology for accessing remote mountain areas even an incumbent 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 all can be 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. nurse sensors measure the lengthening of the rope depending on the load of therapy and it usually with a rope is subjected to heightened tension it stretches and it's this like lengthening that is detected and measured by our sensors the radio electronic modules inside the casements can transmit the information about the strength to a remote computer so that any operator can immediately order of a snow removal operation at the remote headquarters among guards runs a monitoring center that keeps a constant eye on the distant southern russia 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 sensors run an autonomous mode of sending signals through wireless connections the fuel 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 you and detention centers are a new concept being tested and improved on the fly for hardware to be seen what the weather's all seasons in the fall mountain climbing then there's the question of how the data received from the sensor news center can best be for braided into existing the avalanche control efforts eventually reducing required manpower this is no shit he's the president. in terms of scientific and technical developments with the theater and we collaborate with a number of western companies for example with the the t t technical research center of finland several companies from germany switzerland and france he's with the participants in international projects and together we develop new promising

products before you know is even. in the mountains of unguarded. products for more than just ski resorts since roads railways and population centers also meet avalanche warning systems and the rugged terrain around them may be far more an excessive bill for lack of slopes and lifts. production also includes all kinds of microelectronic detection systems with the most common applications for observing the state of urban infrastructure. monitor the stability of historical buildings to see flow of gas to residential complexes to smooth operation of power stations and the structural integrity of roads and bridges. leading generates a detailed status timeline to help diagnose potential problems haven't guards technology is pinned on the principle that it's better to detect defects in advance and then deal with the aftermath of an accident. back in moscow we can check out how technology is not just making winter sporting safer but also helping the

separate winners from losers from rule breakers and system to be used for sochi olympic hockey is already in place at this moscow ice arena. it might not 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 look since the outcome often hinges on close calls the choices companies slowmo t.v. has partnered with the kontinental hockey league teams in stadiums to maximize the odds of getting them right while you root for your team to put the result comfortably out of question video referee has its eyes on a game of inches slow is adapted their strong background in the video replay is multi-channel camera control systems to meet demands for professional hockey for a precise officiating assistant 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 interfaced when the pressure's on

and time is of the essence like many other sports that have resisted moves to video based refereeing mechanisms hockey has fast paced close confines decisions in droves and the russian league is actually out in front of the american and in tackling the situation with technology. now what are you going to be a referee system does not simply meet the international standards we set the benchmark it meets higher requirements than those defined in the regulations of the n.h.l. or the international ice hockey federation you were given this so it's a very advanced tool helping referees to take the right decision in ninety eight to ninety nine percent of goalline cases about. it this mention must go 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 by 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. looks like a near miss off the pike but slew of t.v.'s equipment was needed for a closer look gone noble were there any often suppliers in the crease after careful review to replay confirm the call and to no mistake with no goal surrender. the clip was that was the several years ago the referees took decisions in disputed incidents on their own and very often fans and teams management question the ruling saying it was biased since last year we decided to stop this practice and introduce the position of video referee that would do the stuff 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 clock runs out so we asked the developers to display the time on the screen and couple it 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 kohli among the public until the teams look if you don't believe us we

can always play back the tape. so 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 sloman tv's products will be in the bolshoi ice palace where goals could translate to a limpid goal but is this it will choose the slowmo t.v. product first because it provides the functionality we need certainty becomes a reliable partner since many russian t.v. stations have used its equipment for many years and for months i camera shoots of concerts or shows so much interest and third that it's cheaper and them similar products of western companies and most importantly it's much better soon the 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 slowmo products could still make the sochi games our work for this edition is still on but the sochi twenty four team 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.
