Design and Testing of An Airborne Global Positioning System[gps] Navigation and Flight Path Recovery System

A portable HPGe detector has been employed to assess environmental gamma-ray dose following in-situ technique from the primordial radionuclide 40K in the soil at 15 monitoring points (MPs) in the environment at the Atomic Energy Centre, Dhaka (AECD) campus, Bangladesh. The MPs were marked-out using Global Positioning System (GPS) navigation. The measured dose rate due to 40K range from 0.0428 µGy.h-1 to 0.1222 µGy.h-1 with an average of 0.0828 ± 0.0225 µGy.h-1.

This paper presents the results of a study carried out in the Greater London area to assess and characterise the performance of the Global Positioning System (GPS) for vehicle positioning in urban areas. The performance assessment addresses, in varying levels of detail, the issues of service coverage, positioning accuracy, integrity and availability of service. The project was supported by Racal Survey Limited and is part of the wider research at Imperial College in the area of architectural design and testing of Advanced Transport Telematics (ATT) systems. The results highlight the shortcomings of GPS as the sole means for in-car navigation in urban areas and details the temporal and spatial considerations to be taken into account in the process of designing an integrated positioning system capable of meeting navigation requirements placed on ATT systems.

Present World

If we look around present world, we can easily find Global Positioning System (GPS) being used in several areas. A real time automobile theft recovery system using various (GPS, GSM, Arduino etc.) technologies has been proposed in this paper. Through this project the location of the vehicle, which has the device installed, is easy to track down. Soon after the location of the vehicle has been tracked, the data can be seen in the form of latitude and longitude coordinates through a text message on the user’s mobile as well as the coordinates can be seen on the Android app too, as requested by the user. Initially, the inputs from the satellite are obtained by GPS installed in the device and are stored in the microcontroller’s buffer. The coordinates are now stored in the microcontroller, so when the user requests the location of the vehicle then instantly the device is so designed to send a message having the coordinates to the registered user. As soon as the work of GSM is completed (which is after sending a text to the user) it gets deactivated. Then the GPS is activated again for the rest of the process. The android app can also be used to turn the engine ON/OFF and also change the mode from AUTO to MANUAL or vice versa. The hardware part that has been used in the project comprises of GPRS, GSM module, LCD to view the coordinates, ATMega Microcontroller MAX 232, Arduino, RS232 and relay.

The article describes the results obtained from research, manufacture and quality improvement of an inexpensive digital magnetic compass system. Given that the receivers of the global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) signals are not expensive, in order to increase the accuracy and reliability of the compass, in this paper, the authors propose a method to use the signal of the GNSS global positioning system to compare and adjust the azimuth value of the Digital magnetic compass (DMC).

AbstractA design of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) construction, intended for autonomous flights in a group, was presented in this article. The design assumptions, practical implementation and results of the experiments were given. Some of the frame parts were made using 3D printing technology. It not only reduces the costs but also allows for better fitting of the covers to the electronics, which additionally protects them against shocks and dirt. The most difficult task was to develop the proper navigation system. Owing to high costs of precision positioning systems, common global positioning system (GPS) receivers were used. Their disadvantage is the floating position error. The original software was also described. It controls the device, allows performing autonomous flight along a pre-determined route, analyses all parameters of the drone and sends them in a real time to the operator. The tests of the system were carried out and presented in the article, as well.

Global Positioning

Seiring dengan pesatnya kemajuan teknologi saat ini, kebutuhan manusia menjadi lebih beragam, termasuk kebutuhan akan informasi. Tidak hanya media informasinya yang semakin beragam, jenis informasi yang dibutuhkan juga semakin beragam, salah satunya adalah kebutuhan informasi akan posisi kita terhadap lingkungan sekitar. Untuk memenuhi kebutuhan itu sebuah sistem pemosisi diciptakan. Sistem pemosisi yang banyak digunakan saat ini cenderung berfokus pada lingkup ruang yang besar (global) padahal, dalam lingkup ruang yang lebih kecil (lokal) sebuah sistem pemosisi juga diperlukan, seperti di ruang-ruang terbuka umum (taman atau kebun), ataupun dalam sebuah bangunan. Sistem pemosisi lokal yang ada saat ini sering kali membutuhkan infrastruktur yang mahal dalam pembangunannya. Aplikasi Pemosisi Lokal Berbasis Android dengan Menggunakan GPS ini adalah sebuah aplikasi yang dibangun untuk memenuhi kebutuhan pengguna akan informasi lokasi dan posisi mereka terhadap lingkungan di sekitarnya dalam lingkup ruang yang lebih kecil (lokal) dengan memanfaatkan perangkat GPS (Global Positioning System) yang telah tertanam dalam perangkat smartphone Android agar infrastruktur yang dibutuhkan lebih efisien. Dalam implementasinya, Aplikasi Pemosisi Lokal ini bertindak sebagai klien dengan dukungan sebuah Database Server yang berfungsi sebagai media penyimpanan data serta sumber referensi informasi yang dapat diakses melalui jaringan internet sehingga tercipta sebuah sistem yang terintegrasi secara global. Kata kunci: aplikasi, informasi, pemosisi, GPS.
