Types of Global Positioning System Surveys

90
GPS surveying methods vary in application, accuracy, and data collection techniques, catering to diverse surveying and mapping needs. Static GPS, kinematic GPS, and real-time kinematic (RTK) surveying are widely used. Each technique offers distinct advantages.Static GPS involves placing one receiver at a known reference point and another at the target point. It collects exact positional data by observing multiple satellite ranges over an extended period, achieving centimeter-level accuracy for...

Errors in Global Positioning System

79
Global Positioning System (GPS) technology has revolutionized navigation and positioning, but its accuracy is often compromised by various errors. These errors, stemming from environmental, satellite, and receiver-related factors, require careful mitigation to ensure reliable performance across applications.Atmospheric ErrorsGPS signals travel through the Earth’s ionosphere and troposphere, introducing delays which affect accuracy. The ionosphere is strongly influenced by charged particles,...

Design Example: Identifying the Locations of Monuments in the Field Using Global Positioning System Device

150
Surveyors use Global Positioning System (GPS) technology to measure the precise location and elevation of points on Earth. In a recent survey, GPS receivers were used to determine the coordinates and elevations of two park monuments. The process involved careful mission planning, data collection, and correction to ensure accuracy. The survey began with mission planning to identify optimal satellite visibility and minimize Position Dilution of Precision (PDOP). A geodetic control point...

Tapes are essential in surveying for accurate, durable, and short-distance measurements. Made from lightweight, nylon-coated steel, they offer flexibility and strength for rugged outdoor use. The nylon coating protects against rust and wear, extending the tape's life. Standard lengths, around 30 meters, are marked in meters and millimeters for precision.Surveyors select tapes based on site conditions and accuracy needs. Lightweight, nylon-coated tapes are commonly used for ease of handling and...

Introduction to Global Positioning System01:30

Introduction to Global Positioning System

108
The Global Positioning System (GPS) revolutionized positioning on Earth, providing precise location data through satellite ranging. The GPS system was developed in 1978 by the U.S. Department of Defense  for military use, and it became available for civilian applications in 1983, transforming fields including navigation, fleet management, and time synchronization for telecommunications systems.GPS consists of satellites in medium Earth orbit, about 20,200 kilometers above the surface,...

Area of Science:

  • Engineering
  • Computer Science
  • Ubiquitous Computing

Background:

  • Smart industry applications require precise surveillance and management of people and objects.
  • Ultra-wideband (UWB) positioning offers centimeter-level accuracy but faces challenges in obstructed or limited indoor environments.
  • Non-line-of-sight (NLOS) errors and limited anchor coverage restrict practical UWB positioning system performance.

Main Methods:

  • Proposed a dynamic-reference anchor time difference of arrival (TDOA) compensation algorithm to mitigate positioning errors near anchors.
  • Designed a multidimensional and multigroup TDOA positioning system to broaden indoor coverage.
  • Implemented an address-filter technique and group-switching process for seamless tag movement between positioning groups.

Main Results:

  • The proposed algorithm effectively eliminates local minima in the TDOA loss function, improving accuracy beyond anchor coverage.
  • The multidimensional, multigroup system demonstrated high positioning rates, low latency, and high accuracy in complex indoor settings.
  • Successful deployment in a medical center validated the system's utility for managing personnel and assets in healthcare institutions.

Conclusions:

  • The developed UWB positioning system enhances accuracy and extends coverage in challenging indoor environments.
  • The dynamic-reference anchor TDOA compensation algorithm offers a viable solution for overcoming NLOS errors and limited anchor placement.
  • This technology facilitates precise, wide-range indoor and outdoor wireless localization for various practical applications, including healthcare.
