Civil GPS Applications
Global Positioning System (GPS) technology has come on in leaps and bounds in just a few decades. This technology has had an indelible impact on areas of human activity such as road transport, aviation, maritime transport, rail transport, security, heavy vehicle guidance, surveying, mapping, geophysics, services telecommunications, financial services and social activities. To name a few!
This wonderful digital technology is transmitted completely free of charge from satellites in Earth orbit (certainly a God sent to all of us!) where its signals are transmitted directly to inexpensive receiver handheld chipsets. This has made GPS technology very affordable for all civil applications. Consider the following GPS application areas:
Road transport
GPS technology enables all types of vehicles to accurately navigate their travel routes, choose their travel routes, pinpoint their locations at any time along their route, and identify landmarks. Indeed, this is a blessing for all drivers of all vehicles when traveling within a city or from city to city. Another very important feature that GPS technology offers to its end users is a 24/7 vehicle monitoring and tracking system. GPS technology allows transportation fleet owners to monitor their vehicles at any time, day or night. For privately owned vehicles, the family member driving the vehicle can be conveniently tracked and monitored by other family members at any time of the day or night. The tracking and monitoring software for the GPS device is very conveniently downloaded to smartphones and/or tablets for immediate, clear and uninterrupted signal reception. GPS software can be conveniently downloaded to many smartphones or tablets that would allow more than one viewer to track and monitor the driver of the vehicle. GPS trackers are miniature wireless devices that are installed in a certain place inside the vehicle so that it is properly hidden. In the case of vehicle theft or robbery, the vehicle thief or criminal will not be able to see the GPS monitoring and tracking device and therefore will not be aware of its presence. What is even very important is that the complete travel route and the last detected location of the stolen vehicle can be shared very easily with the local police for their investigation tracking and recovery of your vehicle.
In the most advanced GPS tracking device systems, light or heavy vehicles can be accurately monitored for vital parameters such as driver behavior, capacity and fuel consumption, open and closed door alerts, image monitoring: transmission of images from cameras, both internal and external, to smart devices. telephone. Other advanced special GPS technology enabled components to monitor driver and passenger attendance and presence to be installed on interstate and city coaches. These components include radio frequency identification (RFID) and biometric identification. These GPS-enabled technologies allow driver and passenger attendance to be monitored across multiple transits en route to the final destination.
In the case of heavy container vehicles carrying items such as perishable foods (which require constant and constant internal temperature), the driver can monitor the internal temperature of the container as well as the remote monitoring station throughout the journey or at any moment. time given en route to the destination.
