| Summary: | (107 feet). For transit services, these averages are (O to 50 mph) in 16 kmph (10 mph) increments. Each velocity 50 meters (107 to 164 feet) is sufficient for the customers' ability to locate vehicles can assist in locating emergency also collected at each test site. It was discovered that one and public transit vehicles for better real-time dispatching applications require traveling vehicles, this thesis focused appropriate. When dispatching a transit vehicle, two-way as the velocity increases among traveling vehicles. However, as well as recovering stolen vehicles. Because many Automatic vehicle location systems are becoming more communication between dispatcher and driver can verify the compared to differential Global Positioning System (dGPS) direction of travel as opposed to readings perpendicular to error, this approximate inaccuracy decreased to 33 meters factors tend to affect the accuracy of the readings. Based impossible to conclude if velocity affected the accuracy of in one case, the accuracy of the stationary readings were kmph (50 mph), AirTouch had an approximate inaccuracy of 50 less accurate compared to the non-stationary readings. At 80 meters (164 feet). When the data was adjusted for human minimize the external effects that could create inaccurate most of the error in the readings. Finally, more error was moving vehicle. Recent AirTouch vehicle location system needs. on the AirTouch system's ability to accurately locate a on the results of the reports, two sites were selected to prevalent in diverse transportation applications. Their prevalent in the readings associated with the vehicle's readings available for civilian use. The dGPS readings were readings which currently provide the most accurate location readings. Six speeds were selected ranging from 0 to 80 kmph reports were compiled and analyzed to distinguish what site produced more accurate readings compared to the other site. In addition, the longitude differences accounted for suggested that the AirTouch system does decrease in accuracy the AirTouch system. The results of this thesis have the direction of travel. Based on the data analysis, it was to know where a vehicle is and when it should arrive, 33 to vehicle's exact location. Furthermore, when a customer needs was tested 20 times at each site. The location readings were |
