The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a world-wide radio-navigation system
formed from a constellation of 24 satellites and their ground stations. These
manmade stars are used to calculate the position of objects, such as cars,
trucks, busses, trains, planes and laptop computers with a GPS receiver.
The GPS receiver provides location in the form of latitude and longitude
information, giving every square meter on the planet a unique address. This
information plotted against a map can identify the exact location of the pick-up
and drop-off points for transported students, passengers, goods and services.
When used with a Honeywell mobile video surveillance system, it allows video
recording which identifies the time, date and location of stops, pick-ups and
deliveries.
Installers will appreciate the ease of installation of the GPS system. No
longer is it necessary to get accurate speed readings by connecting the
speedometer to the transmission. Generally, all that is required for the
installation is to plug the unit into the power and signal harness and thread
the antenna wiring. The low profile GPS antenna is fixed to the roof of the
vehicle by a powerful magnet built into the antenna base.
Market Opportunities
For transportation and transit professionals the GPS
system offers an interesting value proposition and added benefits. For
transportation professionals who perform route management, the GPS system
provides the ability to review video in order to understand how long it takes to
get from point A to point B. The GPS recorded data includes direction and
vehicle travel speed, and when combined with video, it provides transportation
professionals with an effective route planning tool. Features
