Annotation. The paper presents the results of an experiment on research the relativistic synchronization method when transporting a time scale to a globally remote consumer. The time scale transported using a transported quantum clock on a vehicle chassis over a distance of 5.4 thousand kilometers. The obtained results were confirmed by an independent method for comparing time scales by GNSS signals. The error of the relativistic synchronization method in the experiment amounted to 148 ps, which is significantly better than when using other methods of synchronizing globally remote consumers.

Key words: relativistic synchronization, transported quantum clocks, relativistic effects, time scale.
