GPS came to be and how it is used in every day air travel. The paper will also explain how the GPS systems improve the Air Cargo industry in tracking the shipment from one hub to another. The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a system of navigation based on the integration of 24 satellites, 21 working systems and 3 backups, that relay information regarding craft position and velocity to users (Colborn, 1992). First initiated as a program by the US Department of Defense through their Navstar

GPS Tracking Stands on One Level with Data Privacy and Security: Fact or Myth The term Global Positioning System conjures up images of GPS devices being used in space-age technology and vehicle navigation systems. GPS tracking devices have also become a part of our daily lives today. However, many people are sceptical about the use of these handy devices. Many people claim that they will face data privacy and security issues on using it. But, how much of this statement is true? Do others have access

How would pilots ever get around so easily without the help of navigation aides? Navigational aides have been around for almost as long as aircraft have been flying in the skies above us. The first navigation system was composted of just a high intensity-flashing beacon. These beacons were placed on the flight routes that were popularly flown in the mid 1920's. With more time more of these technologies that help us navigate the world will be even simpler than today. This paper will explain how some

The days when a ship navigation officer had to use more difficult tools and ways to plan and navigate a voyage at sea are long gone. Today a ship officer has vast amount of marine navigation equipment which makes his life a lot simpler, thanks to the advancement in technology. Modern day sailors are trained to know the functioning and operation of all modern day navigational equipment. Tools used by early popular sea voyages were very complex and required people of very high intelligence to use

system is to provide a low cost and efficient navigation aid for blind. This paper reports on a study that may help visually-impaired people to walk more confidently. The study hypothesizes that a smart stick that can alert visually-impaired people over obstacles in front and could help them in walking with less accidents. The aim of the paper is to make a stick that could communicate with the users through voice alert and vibration,and help them in navigation with the help of and android device containing

height of span B, the main navigation span, being 57 feet high, the Delta Mariner would have had 3.57 feet of clearance from her highest point to the lowest point of navigation span B. Instead of transiting under this span, her intended route, she transited under span E which was approximately 7.43 feet too short for the Delta Mariner, an 11 foot difference. If the bridge team at the time not relied on the contract pilot’s incorrect guidance, and used the available navigation tools such as the ECS (electronic

the complexities of individual’s navigation in our modern and increasingly globalised society. Proulx would agree with the statement ‘The global cannot be all bad nor the local all good. In our lives today, the two must coexist and we must learn to navigate both’, and her text provides evidence to this effect. The novel does not present the simplistic dichotomies of the global being negative and the local being positive, but instead focuses on characters navigation through both. Proulx demonstrates

Abstract— GPS has major issues with security and speed of signal which can be overcome by aiding GPS along with Inertial Measurement Unit using Kalman filter. An inertial measurement unit is based on inertial navigation system which is an autonomous system that provides us information about position, velocity and attitude based on the measurements by inertial sensors and by applying Newton's laws of motion, which determines the vehicle’s current position from knowledge of its previous position and

“Navigation, in its simplest form, means to find your way to a point and back again.” For much of human history, naval navigation consisted of travelling on rivers and waterways, and when at sea, following the coastline so to not get lost. The compass changed that; sailors could boldly sail into the middle of an Ocean, and know that if they headed west, all they had to do to return was head east. The compass itself is a simple navigational instrument that contains a magnetic component that aligns

interrelated in which you can’t fully explore without having each one identified. One of the motives why writers delve into themselves, to put pen to paper so to speak is to express their views on a topic. What exactly do the terms that make up this navigation chart mean and how are they interconnected. Let’s explore that now, genre is an identification and classification of writing.
