Book excerpt: Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) is a unique facility covering over 43 square miles. The Emergency Management and Response Office (EM & R) is required to respond, provide Incident Command (IC), and coordination for all Laboratory emergencies. This requires IC's and support staff to respond to the actual scene of the incident. Since the IC is under numerous constraints and stress, the office wanted the capability of locating the EM & R vehicles on an electronic map. An automated vehicle location (AVL) system was required for the additional safety of the emergency response personal. The requirements for the AVL system include total automatic tracking and low cost. After careful consideration, it was determined that the most efficient and cost effective system would be based on packet radio technology as the transmission media. The location is determined by the Department of Defense Global Positioning System (GPS). The system that was designed and constructed required four components to be interfaced and communicate with each other. The first component was a GPS receiver which actually provides the location information, equipped with a digital interface to communicate location information remotely. The second component is a modem that interfaces the GPS digital interface information to a radio. The third component is the radio itself which allows for the actual information transfer from the remote GPS receiver and modem. The fourth component is the software package that provides moving maps and displays the vehicle location on that map. The equipment was all commercial off-the-shelf that only required proper integration and packaging for the AVL application. This paper describes the steps taken in the integration of the equipment into the AVL package.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is dedicated to Dr. Benjamin William Remondi for many reasons. The project of writing a Global Positioning System (GPS) book was con ceived in April 1988 at a GPS meeting in Darmstadt, Germany. Dr. Remondi discussed with me the need for an additional GPS textbook and suggested a possible joint effort. In 1989, I was willing to commit myself to such a project. Unfortunately, the timing was less than ideal for Dr. Remondi. Therefore, I decided to start the project with other coauthors. Dr. Remondi agreed and indicated his willingness to be a reviewer. I selected Dr. Herbert Lichtenegger, my colleague from the Technical University Graz, Austria, and Dr. James Collins from Rockville, Maryland, U.S.A. In my opinion, the knowledge of the three authors should cover the wide spectrum of GPS. Dr. Lichtenegger is a geodesist with broad experience in both theory and practice. He has specialized his research to geodetic astron omy including orbital theory and geodynamical phenomena. Since 1986, Dr. Lichtenegger's main interest is dedicated to GPS. Dr. Collins retired from the U.S. National Geodetic Survey in 1980, where he was the Deputy Director. For the past ten years, he has been deeply involved in using GPS technology with an emphasis on surveying. Dr. Collins was the founder and president of Geo/Hydro Inc. My own background is theoretically oriented. My first chief, Prof. Dr. Peter Meissl, was an excellent theoretician; and my former chief, Prof. Dr.mult. Helmut Moritz, fortunately, still is.

This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This project gathered information about available Global Positioning Systems/Automatic Vehicle Location (GPS/AVL) equipment and vendors to gain an understanding of their use by state and local agencies for winter maintenance activities. Depending on the complexity desired, many tools and equipment can comprise these systems, including truck controllers, data collection devices, communication devices, plow sensors, and software. This equipment allows agencies to better manage and analyze their winter maintenance operations. There are also numerous choices agencies have in what GPS/AVL solutions to employ, as well as how to effectively use them. The project included four main tasks: conducting a national search of available literature about winter maintenance GPS/AVL solutions, equipment, and technology, developing a survey for state and local agencies to collect data on their experiences with GPS/AVL systems, developing an equipment guide about GPS/AVL equipment based on the literature search and survey results, and developing a synthesis of policies focused on issues and considerations relating to the implementation of GPS/AVL technology for winter maintenance. The following report documents the process of completing the four tasks and the findings on GPS/AVL equipment and vendors.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AVL technology is assisting decision support, situation awareness, and emergency response situations. It a well known that the most critical time factor is the availability of basic information such as the location of an incident, location of emergency resources, distance to a certain location and travel time. Aside from emergency response support, AVL technology provides improved response time, resource management, schedule adherence and increased productivity on a day to day application. The use of this technology can support many activities such as fleet management, snow plow routing, garbage truck tracking, and mobile workforce management. The value of dynamic geospatial information is extremely powerful especially when it is integrated with existing static geospatial information because of the added capability it provides. Knowing where "something" is located as it moves along the earth's surface, gives you the ability to predict, react, and respond accordingly. By having the authority or ability to change the direction of a moving vehicle, certain users are essentially "enabled" to make more efficient use of these valuable resources in real time. In response to a previous accident, Peterson AFB established a satellite based GPS tracking system in 2003. The system was designed to monitor missile transport using GPS, satellite communication and web based mapping capabilities. This same tracking system was later installed on emergency response vehicles to provide the similar capabilities including incident management. The Air Force Academy (AFA) Fire Department was a recipient of this system that was offered to all military installations in the region. Shortly after installation, it was discovered that although the GPS tracking system was efficient for tracking missile transport vehicles, it did not meet Emergency Management response requirements because of the eight to ten minute latency in data transmission. --page 5.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper outlines the present status of Global Positioning System (GPS) technology, defines various terms that are used with GPS, and lists possible applications and the equipment that is suitable for those applications. The two major applications of GPS technology are static positioning (stationary receiver) and kinematic positioning (moving receiver). Potential applications for Alberta Transportation are identified, including surveying (static application), navigation, automatic vehicle location and route guidance systems (kinematic applications). It is recommended that Alberta Transportation acquire a GPS receiver and explore the potential applications of the technology within various areas of the department.
