This paper presents a core approach to design and develop a real-time based Vehicle Tracking System using Kalman filter. It is used to determine the current location of a target device in terms of UTC time , Data status, latitude, longitude, UTC date, Speed over ground in knots, Magnetic variation ,Mode indicators and Checksum information by utilizing the sms features of GSM technology.

Autonomous drifting buoys that acquire position data using Global Positioning System (GPS) navigation have proven valuable in Lagrangian measurement applications requiring greater accuracy and data density than is available through other technologies such as ARGOS satellite tracking. The limits on measurement accuracy in a GPS drifter are set by the geographic accuracy of the GPS position. Stan...

Improving a priori stochastic models of the process and measurement noise vectors in Kalman Filer (KF) has always been a challenge. As one preferable technique to address this challenge, the variance component estimation (VCE) applied on the Kalman Filter’s process and measurement noise covariance matrix (Q & R) has been proved in plenty of applications. Unsurprisingly, VCE was expected to re-e...

Background. The use of prostate-specific antigen test has markedly increased in Danish general practice in the last decade. Despite the national guidelines advice against PSA screening, opportunistic screening is supposed to be the primary reason for this increased number of PSA tests performed. Aims. Based on the increase in the amount of PSA conducted, we aimed to analyse how GPs in Denmark u...

The classical least-squares processing of GPS measurements generates residuals, which contains the signature of both unmodelled systematic biases and random measurement noise. It is desirable to extract (or minimise) the systematic biases contained within the GPS measurements. This would be relatively straightforward if there were some apriori knowledge of the phenomena related to these errors....

The growing dependence of critical civil infrastructure on global positioning system (GPS) makes GPS interference not only a safety threat, but also a matter of national security. The research done in this paper is initiated by the need to diminish this trouble on GPS based positioning. The suggested compensation technique assumes that the presence of a spoofing signal is immediately determined...

The current specification and verification of surface texture in international standards are considered to be too theoretical, complex and over-elaborate for industry. A functional approach that completely expresses the complicated surface texture knowledge for designers and engineers is often nonexistent on the shop floor. Based on Geometrical Product Specification (GPS) philosophy, this paper...
