TeleNav Inc. customer Pine Hall Brick, a provider of brick and clay pavers, has been able to improve its day-to-day operations, including managing resources, transportation costs, and customer service, through the use of Tele Nav Track, the company's GPS-enabled mobile resource management (MRM) service.
Market research firm Berg Insight forecasts that vehicle telematics applications will dominate the machine-to-machine cellular market in most parts of the world and account for more than half of all network connections in 2012.
Relative RAIM and absolute RAIM both enable an aircraft to raise a flag within seconds of receiving faulty data. This article evaluates the protection-level equations for both methods, and examines them in the light of GNSS constellations optimized for 24, 27, and 30 satellites.
Trimble will acquire @Road, Inc. of Fremont, California for $496 million. This expands Trimble's role in mobile resource management (MRM), formerly known as fleet tracking.
To reduce road-maintenance costs, some administrations are charging per kilometer of travel with data coming from an odometer recording. To fairly implement such schemes, accurate odometers are critical. Could an odometer based on GNSS be a solution?
A GPS survey combined with acoustic soundings can determine highly accurate sea-floor depths. Using the ellipsoid as the zero-reference surface then allows navigators, while underway, to determine both keel and overhead obstruction clearance independent of the stage of the tide and the draft of the ship and freeboard.
This article describes recent implementation of the first phases of a collision avoidance system (CAS), based primarily on real-time GPS positioning and VHF data radio communications.
Low-cost sensors and a Horizontal Trust Level (HTL) enable mobile-terminal applications requiring continuous quality of service in positioning and integrity.
