  2. Global Positioning System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Positioning_System

    GPS data mining: It is possible to aggregate GPS data from multiple users to understand movement patterns, common trajectories and interesting locations. [123] GPS data is today used in transportation and disaster engineering to forecast mobility in normal and evacuation situations (e.g., hurricanes, wildfires, earthquakes). [124] [125] [126] [127]

  3. General Problem Solver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Problem_Solver

    General Problem Solver (GPS) is a computer program created in 1957 by Herbert A. Simon, J. C. Shaw, and Allen Newell (RAND Corporation) intended to work as a universal problem solver machine. In contrast to the former Logic Theorist project, the GPS works with means–ends analysis .

  4. GPS tracking unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPS_tracking_unit

    A data pusher is the most common type of GPS tracking unit, used for asset tracking, personal tracking and vehicle tracking systems. Virtually every cell phone is in this mode per user agreement, even if shut off or disabled storing the data for future transmission.

  5. GPS signals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPS_signals

    GPS encodes this information into the navigation message and modulates it onto both the C/A and P(Y) ranging codes at 50 bit/s. The navigation message format described in this section is called LNAV data (for legacy navigation). The navigation message conveys information of three types: The GPS date and time, and the satellite's status.

  6. Map matching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Map_matching

    Topological map matching aligns GPS points with a road network by considering the connectivity and relationships between road segments. It accounts for the structure of the network, path constraints, and the sequence of GPS points to provide accurate and realistic route matching, especially in complex environments.

  7. Satellite navigation device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite_navigation_device

    Vehicle navigation on a personal navigation assistant Garmin eTrex10 edition handheld. A satellite navigation device or satnav device, also known as a satellite navigation receiver or satnav receiver or simply a GPS device, is a user equipment that uses satellites of the Global Positioning System (GPS) or similar global navigation satellite systems (GNSS).

  8. Assisted GNSS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assisted_GNSS

    A-GNSS works by providing the necessary data to the device via a radio network instead of the slow satellite link, essentially "warming up" the receiver for a fix. When applied to GPS, it is known as assisted GPS or augmented GPS (abbreviated generally as A-GPS and less commonly as aGPS).

  9. Positioning system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positioning_system

    A major subclass is made of geopositioning systems, used for determining an object's position with respect to Earth, i.e., its geographical position; one of the most well-known and commonly used geopositioning systems is the Global Positioning System (GPS) and similar global navigation satellite systems (GNSS).
