HISTORY
Global Positioning System
(GPS)
The Global Positioning
System (GPS)
is a satellite-based navigation
system made up of a network of
24 satellites placed into orbit by
the U.S.Department of Defense.
GPS satellites
 24 Satellites in 6 planes, each
plane has 4 satellites
 These space vehicles (SVs) send
radio signals from space.
What does the GPS do
 Satellite signals can be
processed in a GPS receiver.

 GPS receiver will show your

EXACT location on the Earth
(latitude and longitude)

 Helps you find your way to a

specified location
 GPS- How it works
 Measuring the distance from a satellite by measuring travel
time of radio signals seconds
Distance = speed of light * latency in time
 Four GPS satellite signals are used to compute positions in
three dimensions and the time offset in the receiver clock.
 Satellite uses atomic clock.
With two satellites you could narrow your location down to two
possible locations.

You Could Be
Here?
With three satellites you could get a better estimate on
your location. It would narrow it down to one point.

YOU ARE
HERE

NEXT
for your location to be accurately measured. you have at
least four satellites.

YOUR ARE
DEFFINATELY RIGHT
HERE

 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.
 With four or more satellites in view, the receiver can
determine the user's 3D position (latitude, longitude and
altitude).
 When GPS receives a signal
 The receiver determines which satellite it is.

 It decodes the timing information, multiplies by

the speed of light to find the radius of the sphere.

 Once it has done that for 3 satellites, it can

determine the location.
 GPS is extremely easy to navigate as it tells you to the
direction for each turns you take or you have to take to
reach to your destination.

 GPS works in all weather so you need not to worry of

the climate as in other navigating devices.

 Due to its low cost, it is very easy to integrate into

other technologies like cell phone.
 The most attractive feature of this system is its 100%
coverage on the planet.

 It also helps you to search the nearby restaurants,

hotels and gas stations and is very useful for a new
place.
 Sometimes the GPS may fail due to certain reasons and
in that case you need to carry a backup map and
directions.

 If you are using GPS on a battery operated device,

there may be a battery failure and you may need a
external power supply which is not always possible.
 Sometimes the GPS signals are not accurate due to
some obstacles to the signals such as buildings, trees
and sometimes by extreme atmospheric conditions
such as geomagnetic storms.
 Pocket Streets- an example with GPS

 Pocket Streets offers exciting

features such as street-smart
mapping, map customization,
GPS and Microsoft Outlook
integration.

 With Pocket Streets on your

Pocket PC, you will take a smart
map with you wherever you go.
Pocket Streets- an example with GPS
 Download the map for the city.

 Connect the GPS receiver to Pocket PC.

 Choose "Track Position" from the GPS

menu to show your current position on
the map.

 The position moves when you move.

Farming

Farmers can use GPS

to help them plow
very straight rows to
enable them use
their land more
efficiently.

NEXT
 Agriculture
Farmers can use GPS to help mark
areas for pesticide or fertilizer
application. Thus reducing waste.

Automated Vehicle Location System
 Where is the bus

 What direction is the bus

traveling to

 What is the travel speed

 Where is stop

 How long is the stop

Automated Vehicle Location System
How Do GPS Relate?
 GPS receiver calculates its position (latitude and longitude)
and record the information at fixed time interval.

 GPS transmitter transmits location and vehicle dynamic

data to control center at prescribed interval

 Control center system process data according to customer

specifications
Automated Vehicle Location System
Applications – Military
 Military GPS user equipment has been integrated into
fighters, bombers, tankers, helicopters, ships,
submarines, tanks, jeeps, and soldiers' equipment.

 To prevent GPS interception by the enemy, the

government controls GPS receiver exports
Another GPS application?
 Besides being used by the military, GPS is used in
forestry, biology, fishing, hunting, boating, racing,
nursing, and many other fields.

 GPS technology can be effectively used in your

classroom as well.
Conclusions
 GPS can show your EXACT location on the Earth (latitude
and longitude)
