electronic tracking device can utilize location information to potentially provide a safer tracked environment allowing vulnerable people to continue with their daily activities, as much as possible. This paper presents the options for alert escalation. The aim is to provide a safety net, without triggering unnecessary alarms. The escalation procedure involves initial speech alert to the user, then a speech and vibrate alert to the user as a reminder; this is followed by a text message to an identified carer if the user has not re-entered the designated safe zone. Parameters for alert escalation can be tuned to individual circumstances. The user can seek help by getting directions from the current position to home or by calling a carer. The 21st century has brought an era of global population ageing. This will inevitably lead to an increase in the number of older people with dementia, with escalating costs for long term care. In 2010 it was estimated that worldwide cost of dementia ...

Applications requiring positioning in mobile networks have gained importance in recent years. Examples include not only LBSs, but also enhanced emergency call services such as the North American E911 and the newly defined Emergency Call (eCall), which is planned to become a European standard as part of the eSafety initiative of the European commission. Mobile network providers already offer LBSs along with positioning, although the accuracy and reliability of the present techniques do not yet meet the requirements of such services in all cases. One of the most popular positioning systems in navigation is the GPS tracker , which is satellite based, widely available and quite accurate, as long as the receiver to be localized and the satellites have an LOS connection. Since most common mobile phones do not support the GPS, network providers evaluate the position of the network’s base stations (BSs) which have connections to the mobile stations (MSs) to be located. The accuracy of the pr...

personal tracking device can utilize location information to potentially provide a safer tracked environment allowing vulnerable people to continue with their daily activities, as much as possible. This paper presents the options for alert escalation. The aim is to provide a safety net, without triggering unnecessary alarms. The escalation procedure involves initial speech alert to the user, then a speech and vibrate alert to the user as a reminder; this is followed by a text message to an identified carer if the user has not re-entered the designated safe zone. Parameters for alert escalation can be tuned to individual circumstances. The user can seek help by getting directions from the current position to home or by calling a carer. We report on a small user evaluation, an essential pre-requisite to testing with the intended cohort. The 21st century has brought an era of global population ageing.

Over the past few years, the electronic tracking device commercial market has grown rapidly. People are using GPS in rental cars, on hiking trips, and in many other recreational activities. Companies have been formed whose business it is to put names on latitude and longitude coordinates. These companies have constructed extensive databases with street names, addresses, business names, points of interest, restaurants, underwater wrecks, and the list goes on. Anything which is stationary is likely to be labelled. All of this extensive data has been put into electronic form so that it can be converted into various computer formats. With this growth in electronic data, blind people no longer need be limited to the small amounts of location information they could previously glean from sighted people. The maps and points of interest are no longer just a drawing on an inaccessible print map. This electronic data can be converted into programs that work on computers designed for blind or v...

Since the introduction of the first consumer GPS receivers in 1995, the metamorphosis of the GPS receiver has been dramatic. The variety of GPS receivers available includes receivers with different connectors (Serial, USB, Compact Flash, etc.), receivers of different sizes (from TV remote size to matchbook size), many different user applications (screens, maps, points of interest files), and so on. So which features are important when constructing a portable tracker for use by Kids? A small sized, lightweight device is important for the accessible GPS package. Durability, price and functionality must be considered when evaluating the tradeoffs with size. Another important issue with GPS receivers is the accuracy reliability. A receiver must work well when there is marginal satellite visibility, for example, in the window of a bus or on the sidewalk close to a tall building. As stated before, the GPS information from the satellites has its limitations, but there are receivers that mo...

GPS Declassified examines the development of GPS from its secret, Cold War military roots to its emergence as a worldwide consumer industry. Drawing on previously unexplored documents, the military rivalries influenced the creation of GPS and shaped public perceptions about its origin. Since the United States’ first program to launch a satellite in the late 1950s, the nation has pursued dual paths into space—one military and secret, the other scientific and public. Among the many commercial spinoffs this approach has produced, GPS arguably boasts the greatest impact on our daily lives. Told by the son of a navy insider—whose work helped lay the foundations for the system—and a science and technology journalist, the research and technological advances required for the development of GPS. GPS moved from the laboratory to the battlefield to the dashboard and the smartphone, and they raise the specter of how this technology and its surrounding industry affect public policy. Insights into h...

We are currently seeing a golden age of unprecedented progress and discovery in movement research. The innovation in Global Positioning System (GPS) technology, combined with systems for remote data transfer, has particularly favored tracking device -based animal telemetry to become a standard in wildlife tracking. Three main processes are responsible for this rapid advancement: (1) the development of new tracking techniques to quantify movement, (2) powerful data analysis tools to examine key questions about movement and its causes and consequences, and (3) conceptual and theoretical frameworks for integrating movement research. Many new tools have been developed recently to record the movement of various organisms vii with levels of accuracy, frequency, and duration that are much higher than they were just a few years ago. This has strongly improved our capacity to track insects, fish, and other relatively small organisms. However, arguably the most dramatic development in animal bio...

Understanding the right positions and directions of people and objects is a significant issue from the ancient eras to the present. In the past, people often launched a war in order to satisfy the craving for the dominating powers and spread their realms. In the recent, Global Satellite Positioning System (GPS) has become the one of most popular positioning technologies. GPS can provide users precise positioning information, no matter wherever that may present their own positions. The early GPS positioning technology has been widely used in military, marine use, until recently gradually applied into our daily life, e.g. automotive navigation, geodesy surveying, etc. In this chapter, the authors will briefly introduce some GPS issues including the origins of GPS, GPS system architecture, and related GPS applications. The most driving purpose is to traverse to the destination safely, efficiently, and comfortably. Two types of approaches could achieve the goals, including the static and...

Most GPS receiver cases have a loop on the back to hold the case on a belt. If you’re wearing shorts or tights and don’t have a belt, waist packs for carrying a radio or a cassette/CD player are an option. These packs can accommodate larger GPS receivers. They’re not very noticeable when you’re working out because they’re designed not to bounce much. Small fanny packs and waist packs that carry water bottles also carry a GPS receiver. If the GPS receiver is small, try carrying it in your front pants pocket. I’ve carried a GPS while running and cross-country skiing in trail-running shorts and tights with zipper pockets. Although satellite reception is sometimes lost while under heavy tree cover, the electronic tracker records track data as long as I have a mostly clear view of the sky. Using GPS will greatly enhance your understanding of the map-and-compass technique, but it’s wise to hone basic navigational skills before or in conjunction with use of a Personal GPS tracker . When ou...

For ages people have been looking for ways to find locations and identify directions to different places. It all began in the first century when the Chinese used lodestone ladles whose handles always pointed towards the south no matter what direction they were placed in. In the year 1978, a Block-I GPS satellite was launched. It was basically used for defense purposes. Another milestone in the GPS system is the development of Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (TIGER) a digital map that allowed users to create virtual maps. This digital map was released in 1989, and sometime before that in 1983, the US president had declared that the GPS system would be made public for everyone to use. Both these factors speeded up the process of the designing and development of GPS-enabled tracking devices in the world. Over the next few decades, more research institutions and IT-based companies began to create devices based on GPS. Now, GPS has become so commonplace that...

It’s fun to uncover something that you aren’t supposed to know about — many software applications and movies on DVD contain what are known as “easter eggs.” However, imagine finding something that you aren’t supposed to find that turns out to be useful and informative. In this article, we are going to hunt for GPS easter eggs, delving into the secrets that lie behind the standard menus on your GPS unit to find useful features and diagnostic screens that can give you information about your system and troubleshoot problems that you might have. There’s a lot of information to find — technical information, diagnostic information, and more. Let’s begin our tour of the secrets of Magnetic GPS . How GPS Works The basic principle behind GPS is straightforward: The GPS receiver picks up a signal from three or more of the satellites and then uses this information to calculate the distance to the satellites. This information is, in turn, used to determine a location on the globe where th...

A BRIEF HISTORY PRIOR TO atomic clocks, quartz-movement watches kept the most accurate time. Quartz time, based on the vibrations of a quartz crystal, is accurate to about one thousandth of a second perday. But with radio signals traveling at the speed of light, a clock that is off by even a thousandth of a second will produce a gross position error. Atomic clocks, accurate to within 1 second every 100,000 years, derive their precision from the highly predictable gains and losses of energy by atoms. These clocks, accurate to a billionth of a second, are key to the success of GPS. Ancient travelers relied on celestial objects, such as stars, to find their way. GPS users also use celestial objects—satellites—to navigate. There are, of course, vast differences between a star and an earth-orbiting man-made object. You observe a star to navigate; a satellite is invisible to the naked eye, but you use its position data, or ephemera, to navigate. Modern navigators no longer have to wait ...
