Accuracy and total design and implementation cost of the GPS framework determine the viability of GPS based projects. As the greater part of the advanced framework including telemetry, IoT, Cloud, and AUTOSAR frameworks use GPS to get exact outcomes, finding a software-controlled error correction becomes important. With the execution of open source library such as RTKLIB will help in controlling and revising GPS blunders. The project utilizes the RTKLIB along with two stations for better accuracy. The RTK-GPS framework works under Linux environment, which is embedded in the Beagleboard. The communication between the GPS system is set up utilizing both serial communication protocol and TCP/IP suite. To get high precision inside the network, two GPS modules are utilized. One of them will be mounted on the rover and another GPS is the base station of the setup. Both the GPS will have a double radio wire setup to increase the reception level to reduce the noise and get centimeter-level precision. For long-range communication, Rover utilizes Wi-Fi with TCP/IP stack protocol. In this research paper, setup is intended to accomplish the centimeter level precision through libraries in a Linux environment. The design will be set up and tried on a college campus under various conditions with different error parameters to acquire a low cost and centimeter level GPS accuracy.

A real-time kinematic (RTK) global positioning system (GPS) has been identified for potentially being used as a ground-truth sensor for testing robotic rovers for planetary exploration. A series of environmental tests needs to be performed in order to validate the performance of the sensor at hand before being used as a ground-truth system. This paper focuses on the performance evaluation of the RTK GPS at Axel Heiberg Island Canadian Space Agency’s Analogue Research Network (CARN) site. This is one of the officially recognized terrestrial analogues, that is places on Earth that approximate the geological, environmental and putative biological conditions on Mars and other planetary bodies (Hipkin et al.). The challenge lies in the use of the equipment at Arctic latitudes. The results show that the system performed according to specifications even in this challenging environment.


The aim is to build a friendly environment for the Indian fishermen preventing them from facing many hardships. This can be done using GPS(Global Positioning System) that provides navigation, positioning and other time details in all the weather conditions for everyone and everywhere.GPS system being used for map-making, commerce, surveillance. But this paper helps in preventing the violence created between India-Sri Lanka caused for crossing the border IMBL(Indian Maritime Boundary Line) which is unintentional. The important purpose of this paper is to alert the fishermen before crossing the country’s border. If they travelled beyond the border an alert message will be transmitted or sent to the base station by using an X-bee transmitter. This system is developed to help the lives of the fishermen and not to move beyond Indian Boundaries. On the whole it is a plan of creating a suitable device for civilian navigation at low cost.

In this study, for Istanbul, there are two Cors Networks (Cors-TR, Iski Cors) providing Virtual Reference Station (VRS), and Flachen Korrektur Parameter (FKP), corrections to rover receiver for determining 3-D positions in real time by Global Positioning System (GPS). To determine which method (or technique) provides accurate method for position fixing, a test network consisting of 49 stations was set up in Yildiz Technical University Davudpasa Campus. The coordinates of the stations in the test network were determined by conventional geodetic, classical RTK, VRS and FKP methods serviced by both Cors-TR and Iski Cors. The results were compared to the coordinates by the conventional method by using total station. The results showed a complex structure as the accuracy differs from one component to another such as in horizontal coordinates, Y components by CorsTR_VRS and Cors_TR_ FKP showed 'best' results while the same technique provided X components consistent accuracy with the Y component but less accurate than by real time kinematic (RTK). In vertical components, of all the techniques used for the h components, CorsTR_VRS showed 'best' accuracy with three outliers.

This paper proposes a model for combined Global Positioning System (GPS) and BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) positioning. The approach uses only one common reference ambiguity, for example, that of GPS L1, and estimates the pseudo-range and carrier phase system and frequency biases. The validations show that these biases are stable during a continuous reference ambiguity period and can be easily estimated, and the other estimated double-differenced ambiguities, such as those of GPS L2, BDS L1, and BDS L2, are not affected. Therefore, our approach solves the problems of a frequently changing reference satellite. In addition, because all the carrier phase observations use the same reference ambiguity, a relationship is established between the different systems and frequencies, and the strength of the combined model is thus increased.

As been coming ages, modern technology integrates into every life aspect including in field survey. Nowadays, one of the modern technology namely Global Positioning System (GPS). The GPS system was first developed by the US Department of Defense used for both military and civilian purposes. This system is designed to provide threedimensional position, speed, and information about world which is not affected by time and weather. Presently, GPS has been widely used by people all over the world who is need information about position, speed or time. To determine the coordinates of points on earth, the receiver requires at least 4 satellites to capture the signal correctly with the coordinates obtained referring to the global datum such World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS'84). GPS is divided into 3 types: Type of navigation or handheld, generally used in battle field or navigation purposes. Some vehicles have been equipped with GPS for navigation aids by adding a map to guide the rider thus rider know which pathway should be chosen to arrived at the destination. GPS mapping is a GPS tool used to calculate an area or create an important route in transit. Type Mapping has an accuracy level between 1-3 meters and mapping types require a base station serving to receive satellite signals and transmit them to a GPS receiver. Geodetic type is the most meticulous and most sophisticated type than navigation or mapping because it has a level of accuracy below 1 meter. The price of geodetic type is most expensive.

The sensing of near real time Precipitable Water Vapour (PWV) using Global Positioning System (GPS) over Indian region were analyzed.  GPS data collected from five stations at hourly interval were utilized to determine near real time PWV using GAMIT software. Sliding window technique was used to derive near real time PWV. The PWV determined from GPS observations of each site were compared with respective radiosonde measurements. The results shows that the derived GPS precipitable water well agree for some stations with the independent radiosonde measurements.  We have also examined the variation of hourly GPS-PWV with hourly rainfall observation and found that PWV increases significantly before the event take place and decreases after the event.
