GPS Tracking of Foraging Albatrosses
Science, 2002Developments in satellite telemetry have recently allowed considerable progress in the study of long-range movements of large animals in the wild ([1][1]), but the study of the detailed patterns of their foraging behavior on a small to medium scale is not possible because of the imprecision ...

GPS: location-tracking technology
Computer, 2002Increasing commercial use of the Global Positioning System will soon make it possible to locate anything, anywhere, anytime. The Global Positioning System can provide extremely accurate location information for mobile objects and people which is far superior to earlier tracking techniques.

The limits of direct satellite tracking with GPS
26th Aerospace Sciences Meeting, 1988The expected accuracy of the direct user orbit solution and the magnitude of the principal error sources are evaluated using the techniques of covariance analysis. Utilization of advanced GPS receivers, measurement calibration methods, and geophysical models developed for high-precision GPS-based geodesy and differential satellite tracking are assumed ...

Implementation of GPS for location tracking
2011 IEEE Control and System Graduate Research Colloquium, 2011Stand alone global positioning system receivers are widely used nowadays to accurately locating one's position. By using stand alone GPS receivers the distance between two locations on earth can also be measured. This project is aim to design and implement a low cost Global Positioning System suitable to be used for hiking, climbing and sailing ...

GPS tracking for people with dementia
Working with Older People, 2009The ‘people versus technology’ debate is ongoing; and as the social care system becomes ever more cash‐strapped and the shortage of appropriately skilled people continues, so will this debate. One of the emerging uses of technology is the application of satellite technology to monitor the movements of people with dementia, but just how effective is the

Using Kalman Filters on GPS Tracks
2015This paper describes the practical evaluation of the application of the Kalman filters to GPS tracks, gathered by mobile phones or GPS trackers. We try to answer the question whenever the filtering applied on higher layer of the mobile device software may improve the quality of the data provided by the GPS receiver. Two metrics are used for comparison:

Tracking electric vehicles with GPS
Southcon/96 Conference Record, 2002There are several cross-country solar and electric vehicle racing events conducted around the world which demonstrate the capabilities of the cars. The vehicles travel on rural and urban highways, blending in with conventional cars. The vehicles in the event are judged on speed, range, efficiency and performance.

Real-time acquisition and tracking for GPS receivers
Proceedings of the 2003 International Symposium on Circuits and Systems, 2003. ISCAS '03., 2003Current GPS receivers spend much time in base-band processing, performing acquisition and tracking. This is due to the large number of required operations in the software-based signal processing. This paper presents a novel signal acquisition and tracking method that reduces the number of operations, simplifies hardware implementation and decreases the

The Accuracy Enhancement of GPS Track in Google Map
2013 Eighth International Conference on Broadband and Wireless Computing, Communication and Applications, 2013In the past decades, the GPS (Global Positioning System) tracking systems play an import role in the position-aware applications. For the cost issue, most of these systems uses the Google MAP to display the track. However, the Google MAP API does not provide the accuracy location information of each street.
