Pemanfaatan Global Positioning System (GPS) untuk Menghitung Luas Tanah

Menghitung luas tanah dapat dilakukan dengan beberapa metode, salah satunya menggunakan metode titik koordinat. Titik koordinat digunakan sebagai patokan untun menentukan luas tanah. Kelebihan dari perhitungan menggunakan titik koordinat adalah kecepatan proses perhitungan dan biaya yang dikeluarkan tidak begitu besar.  Aplikasi menghitung luas tanah menggunakan GPS (Global Positioning System) merupakan aplikasi yang dapat membantu pengguna smartphone untuk menghitung luas tanah. Pengembangan aplikasi Luas Tanah ini menggunakan pendekatan prototype. Aplikasi Luas Tanah ini memanfaatkan fasilitas dari Google Map API, yang menerapkan system client-server, terdiri dari sisi server sebagai penyedia dan pengelola informasi dan sisi client sebagai pengguna informasinya

Navstar/Global Positioning System

The Global Positioning System (GPS) was developed to provide highly precise position, velocity, and time information to users anywhere in the area of the Earth and at any time. The GPS, when fully operational, will consist of 18 satellites in six orbital planes. Any GPS user, by receiving and processing the radio signals from the satellite network can instantaneously determine navigation information to an accuracy of about 15 m in position and 0.1 m/s in velocity. The GPS is compared with other systems such as Loran-C, Omega, TACAN and Transit

High dynamic global positioning system receiver

A Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver having a number of channels, receives an aggregate of pseudorange code time division modulated signals. The aggregate is converted to baseband and then to digital form for separate processing in the separate channels. A fast fourier transform processor computes the signal energy as a function of Doppler frequency for each correlation lag, and a range and frequency estimator computes estimates of pseudorange, and frequency. Raw estimates from all channels are used to estimate receiver position, velocity, clock offset and clock rate offset in a conventional navigation and control unit, and based on the unit that computes smoothed estimates for the next measurement interval

Global positioning system supported pilot's display

The hardware, software, and operation of the Microwave Scanning Beam Landing System (MSBLS) Flight Inspection System Pilot's Display is discussed. The Pilot's Display is used in conjunction with flight inspection tests that certify the Microwave Scanning Beam Landing System used at Space Shuttle landing facilities throughout the world. The Pilot's Display was developed for the pilot of test aircraft to set up and fly a given test flight path determined by the flight inspection test engineers. This display also aids the aircraft pilot when hazy or cloud cover conditions exist that limit the pilot's visibility of the Shuttle runway during the flight inspection. The aircraft position is calculated using the Global Positioning System and displayed in the cockpit on a graphical display

The LANDSAT/global positioning system project

A GPSPAC/LANDSAT-D Interface (GLI) Ground Support System was built to validate the performance and to calibrate the accuracy of the experimental navigation package, GPSPAC, flown on the LANDSAT-4 and 5 spacecraft. Although the GLI system operated successfully to give the orbit information needed to validate the GPSPAC, it also detected two anomalies: one is characteristic of the GLI system and the other is characteristic of the pre-operational phase of GPS. Several methods were applied to resolve or reduce the anomalies. This paper presents a description of the problems, the methods applied to resolve or reduce them, and the results

Investigating the Impact of Global Positioning System Evidence

The continued amalgamation of Global Positioning Systems (GPS) into everyday activities stimulates the idea that these devices will increasingly contribute evidential importance in digital forensics cases. This study investigates the extent to which GPS devices are being used in criminal and civil court cases in the United Kingdom through the inspection of Lexis Nexis, Westlaw, and the British and Irish Legal Information Institute (BAILII) legal databases. The research identified 83 cases which involved GPS evidence from within the United Kingdom and Europe for the time period from 01 June 1993 to 01 June 2013. The initial empirical analysis indicates that GPS evidence in court cases is rising over time and the majority of those court cases are criminal cases.Comment: This article was published at: http://www.hicss.hawaii.edu/hicss_48/apahome48.ht

The Global Positioning System

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is quickly becoming part of the fabric of everyday life. Beyond recreational activities such as boating and backpacking, GPS receivers are becoming a very important tool to such industries as agriculture, transportation, and surveying. Very soon, every cell phone will incorporate GPS technology to aid first responders in answering emergency calls

Global Positioning System Applications

The space-based Navstar Global Positioning System (GPS), which is scheduled to achieve full operational status by late 1988, will consist of 18 active satellites placed around six orbital rings at 10,898 nautical miles above the earth. Every other ring will contain an extra satellite that will function as an active on-orbit spare. This regular and precise constellation of GPS satellites will provide continuous, three-dimensional global navigation coverage to users worldwide. Average positioning accuracies of 15 meters or less are anticipated by the military. This extraordinary precision has been demonstrated repeatedly under field-test conditions in both the United States and Western Europe. Other tests indicate that relative (differential) navigation, which employs user sets rigged to communicate their navigation solution to one another, can achieve substantially better results. Relative errors of only 1 or 2 meters have been demonstrated with existing equipment under realistic field-test conditions

The Global Positioning System

GPS, the Global Positioning System, will rapidly become the most widely used radionavigation system in the world when it becomes operational later in this decade. The advantages of GPS (e.g., excellent accuracy, worldwide availability, all-weather performance, and operational simplicity) will assure its rapid acceptance, and the large market thus generated will assure many equipment choices and attractive prices. This paper describes the current GPS development status, including an evaluation of the progress being made toward full deployment. The paper next explores the surprising number of interim GPS applications making use of the present constellation of test and evaluation Navstar satellites. Differential GPS, which can provide navigational accuracy of five meters in local areas, will be evaluated and progress toward standardization of signal formats discussed. Finally, this paper looks toward the future, projecting when GPS will be ready for widespread use and predicting some of the types of equipment which will be available

Modeling Selective Availability of the NAVSTAR Global Positioning System

As the development of the NAVSTAR Global Positioning System (GPS) continues, there will increasingly be the need for a software centered signal model. This model must accurately generate the observed pseudorange which would typically be encountered. The observed pseudorange varies from the true geometric (slant) range due to range measurement errors. Errors in range measurement stem from a variety of hardware and environment factors. These errors are classified as either deterministic or random and, where appropriate, their models are summarized. Of particular interest is the model for Selective Availability which is derived from actual GPS data. The procedure for the determination of this model, known as the System Identification Theory, is briefly outlined. The synthesis of these error sources into the final signal model is given along with simulation results
