• Humans have been trying to find out where they are relative to the earth for over 8,000 years

• The world’s first map is of a city in Turkey in 6500BC• Astrolabe: Longitude: 150BC• Compass: Direction: China – 1000AD, Europe – 1300AD• Sextant: Latitude: 1730• Chronometer: Longitude: 1750• Quartz Clock: Longitude, Distance, Velocity: 1928• Terrestrial Radio Navigation: LORAN, GEE,: 1930s and 40’s• Global Radio Navigation: OMEGA: 1968-1997

• First global positioning system• NAVSTAR: 1978:Global Positioning Satellites

• Longitude, Latitude, Altitude• All weather capability

• WAAS: 2000: Wide Area Augmentation System• L2C: 2005: Next Generation GPS accurate to two meters

Evolution of Location Tech


• Position: Current Location: In space and time

• Navigation/Tracking: Destination Location: Point to Point

• Boundaries: Absolute Location: Establishing parameters

• Association: Relative Location: Health & Safety, Security

• Context: Logical Location: Business Workflow

Importance of Location


• The beginning of understanding your distributed environment.– Relative to power and signal infrastructure, suppliers, customers, competition

• The core of health & safety as well as security– Relative to employees, contractors, visitors, first responders, intruders– In an emergency – without visibility – at night – during an evacuation– When people and dangerous vehicles or mobile assets interact

• Vital to understanding efficiency and productivity– Relative to assets in motion – inside and outside of the facility– Relative to manufacturing processes, logistics, or transportation

• Provides a foundation to build upon with other sensor information

Importance of Location TO YOU


Location Usage & Examples

• Location for Position:– Tracking for Underground Coal Mines– US DOD Soldier Position

• Location for Navigation/Tracking:– Customer/Application: AEG/ASO: Wireless GPS Object Field Tracking

• Amgen Tour of California, Tour de France

• Location for Boundaries:– Warehouse Zone-Based Safety Systems

• Location for Association:– Video Analytics– Hybrid Solutions

• Location for Context:– Location as part of an Identity and Resource Management Platform– Example: Lifetime tracking of Uranium enrichment canisters in motion and at rest


• GPS: Anywhere on Earth in the out of doors

• WiFi: Cities and Facilities

• Ultra Wide Band Radar: Large contiguous areas

• Ultra Wide Band Radio: Underground mines

• Active RFID: Container Ships, Vehicles

• Passive RFID: At choke points and portals

• Video Analytics: Human Observable

Location Technology


Location Intelligence Standards

• Real Time Location Systems: ISO/IEC 24730 Parts 1&2– Governing Body: International Standards Organization– Governs Air Interface Protocol and API Specifications– Active & Passive RFID, WiFi

• FCC Title 47 CFR Part 15– Governing Body: Federal Communications Commission (US), and similar national orgs. – Governs Radio Frequency Devices– Power, Transmission, Band and Antenna of unintentional radars– Impacts the use Ultra Wide Band Radar for location tracking

• NMEA 0183– Governing Body: National Marine Electronics Association– Combined electrical and data specification for communication between marine electronic

devices such as depth finders, navigation instruments, and GPS receivers– Impacts all GPS Receivers and the interface to communicate geographic location

information


Location Technology - GPS

• Funded by and controlled by the U. S. DOD • Specially coded satellite signals processed in a GPS receiver, enabling the receiver to compute position, velocity and time

• Four GPS satellite signals are used to compute positions in three dimensions and the time offset in the receiver clock

• Space Segment: GPS satellites• Control Segment: Tracking stations worldwide • User Segment: Receiver and mapping program• +/- 3 meter accuracy with commercial GPS
