GPS-Based Vehicle Localisation

What is it about?

The paper describes the processor-based equipment designed for the purpose of traffic means localization. Data transmission is realized through a GSM modem as a standard component of GSM phones. The control station gets a data set from the GPS receiver based on the given command and identification through the SIM module. Data is used to determine the exact time, transaction date, geographical position, instantaneous velocity as well as azimuth. After transferring data into a digital map the operator can observe a place of traffic means. The transaction requires transmission of minimal data volume (ca 80 Byte) which is a minimal load for created mobile phone connection. The paper describes essential technical details characterizing the developed equipment and obtained experience

Why is it important?

Getting data from the GPS receiver makes it possible to realize other applications that generate messages if a vehicle is changing its position (compared with the original condition). Nonzero speed activates the GSM modem when the automaton performs calls and connects to the center with continuous service. The operator in this center gets information in the form of an actual sentence of the GPRMC and based on its parameters adequate measures can be taken.
