Mobile Postioning System
Mobile Postioning System
In this system by the use of satellite we get the three coordinates of mobile and after that
we need one more software which can relate the output of this system with earth coordinate system. So that we get the exact location i.e. in which city or in which street or house the mobile is present.
Its is based on Global Positioning System.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellitebased navigation system made up of a network of 24 satellites placed into orbit.
GPS satellites circle the earth twice a day in a very precise orbit and transmit signal information to earth.
GPS receivers take this information and use triangulation to calculate the user's exact location. Essentially, the GPS receiver compares the time a signal was transmitted by a satellite with the time it was received.
The time difference tells the GPS receiver how far away the satellite is. Now, with distance measurements from a few more satellites, the receiver can determine the user's position and display it .
Its based on TDOA technique i.e. Time Difference of Arrival. The distance between a mobile and a station is determined by measuring the time it takes for a signal to reach the mobile from the station. Multiplying the TDOA t by the signal velocity c gives us the distance.
The formula which is used to measure the distance between two points is
If the four circles no longer intersect at the same point, then the GPS system knows that there is an error in it?s clock.
Then we have to remove this problem first, then proceed further. Behind the scenes, there are also many complex calculations taking place which enable the
system to compensate for atmospheric distortion of the signals, but the principle remains same.
Pinpoints exact locations. Monitors employee driving habits and activities, to avoid accident.
Its used in forecast the weather conditions, to avoid the drastic condition.
To monitor the position of several vehicles or people ,this can include children, criminals, police and emergency vehicles
Weather: a satellite signal slows down as it passes through inclement weather. Buildings: signals are often reflected off tall buildings before reaching the receiver, because
Satellite visibility/clear path for satellites: Buildings, electronic interference,can block signal reception. This is another reason why GPS units usually cannot operate underwater or underground.
Satellite position/geometry: satellites must be geometrically placed at wide angles relative to one another for better reception.
To locate the position of mobile. As a tracking device to track any vehicle . Have military applications in missile technologies. To find out the smallest route between any two points.
