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...

Despite similarities, there are some issues in the consistency GNSS issues as you know. For example, you may recall that the roll out of the new systems is not coordinated. In other words GPS ( GPS Tracking Device  ) Modernization, GLONASS replenishment, and QZSS and Galileo deployment have not been synchronized. Despite much cooperation there is no clear agreement among nations that launches and operational capabilities of GLONASS, GALILEO, GPS, QZSS, and Beidou will happen in the same time frame. Also there are differences between GLONASS and GPS regarding CDMA and FDMA. There are also differences in the time standards between the two systems. Not to mention the overlap between the GPS M-code and Beidou. It is important that these inconsistencies are worked out technologically because apart from the less sophisticated applications for GNSS interoperability will be required. For the full potential of the system to realize multiple GNSS, frequencies will need to work together. In...

With dynamic growth and acceptance of mobile devices, many innovative business applications are beginning to emerge. GPS phone and tracing seems to be one of the popular applications which many organisations have initiated, often facilitated by location based services provided by mobile network operators. However, there are many issues associated with the provisioning of this application with current technologies and business models. Small and Medium size Enterprises (SMEs) that make up a significant segment of businesses worldwide do not yet seem able to benefit widely from these services. In this chapter, we initially review current technologies/ applications and the issues associated with them, drawing from research and the experiences of a long term ongoing action research project with SMEs in the trade sector. Subsequently, we explore the opportunities offered by 3G services/business applications to SMEs, and provide a broad critical outlook on future opportunities for SMEs to be...

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...

With the current technology, tracking and tracing usually requires an additional GPS antenna to determine the precise location, as the position information from the GSM network is too fuzzy to provide accurate location data. Also communication with mobile units is often established by Short Message Service (SMS), with a fixed fee associated with every query. There is no permanent flow of data communications (SMS is not an “always on” service) between the field staff and the base—and every query incurs relevant cost. With the evolvement of 3G networks, there is an expectation of change in the infrastructure or rather; there have already been some changes. 3G will allegedly provide “always on” data communication at high speed, which will enable easy and quick queries at any time, even continuous tracking and tracing. It is also assumed that this service will be at a comparatively lower rate. The major enhancements to be expected from GPS 3G mobile services are directly linked to new k...

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...

GPS will play a large role in the future of cellphones. The U.S. government has mandated that calls placed by cellphones to 911 emergency operators must reveal where the call was made, just like landline telephones. This new program works by either triangulating a mobile phone’s position via cellular phone network antenna towers or with a GPS receiver built into the cellphone that transmits its location. In 2003, the first GPS ID Card enabled cellular phones started to appear on the U.S. market. Internet sites and tracking software are available that can provide you with the location of a GPS-enabled phone that’s subscribed to a location reporting service. As GPS phone start to become more common, it’s only a matter of time before navigation and map programs start to appear on the phones, which will bring a whole new meaning to using your phone to get directions. Trying to decide which GPS unit and accessories to get could be overwhelming, especially with the number of choices...

With times changing and technology advancing there will always be new and innovative ways to do what is right for the students in the classroom. Whatever your view on the issue it doesn’t seem like it will be going away anytime soon. School ID badges aren’t what they used to be. They are no longer just a name, picture and a grade level. With technology expanding, GPS ID Card can now store class schedules, medications and allergies, emergency contact information and even use it as a pre-paid debit card for purchases on campus. But, when does it go too far? There are some schools now that install Car GPS tracker chips into the cards so they can tell where the students are at all times. GPS technologies will help school authorities and parents to keep track of the school bus, its speed while simultaneously tracking the real time position of students. When students board or alight, their ID cards will be read by the GPS card readers installed on the school bus door. Alerts are sent to t...

GPS - the Global Positioning System - is a navigation revolution. It’s a technology that pinpoints a user’s location anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day, regardless of the weather. Designed by the United States’ Department of Defense for use by the military, the GPS System was made available to civilians for use in aviation, marine surveying and general outdoor/recreation markets. Today, millions of people utilize the accuracy and convenience of this amazing technology to hunt, fish, hike, fly, cruise and sail. GPS consists of a constellation of 24 satellites orbiting some 12,000 miles above the earth. These satellites transmit signals containing time and orbital data to calculate satellite position and almanac data. Meanwhile, receivers used on the ground, sea and air search the sky for the satellites. The GPS unit needs to acquire good signals from at least three satellites to determine a position on the surface of the earth. A fourth signal is required to get three-dimensional pos...

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...

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 ...
