Global Positioning System
• GPS is funded by and controlled by the U. S. Department of Defense (DOD). While there are many thousands of civil users of GPS world-wide, the system was designed for and is operated by the U. S. military.
• GPS provides specially coded satellite signals that can be processed in a GPS receiver, enabling the receiver to compute position, velocity and time.
![Page 23: Technologies to Enhance Traffic Safety](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020323/56816398550346895dd490ac/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
• Newer “receivers” also send a signal which allows for tracking and location data.
![Page 24: Technologies to Enhance Traffic Safety](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020323/56816398550346895dd490ac/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Telematics
• Integrated use of telecommunications and informatics
• Typically transmissions of 100 meters • Interact with a network of transmissions
from other vehicles and fixed based systems
![Page 57: Technologies to Enhance Traffic Safety](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020323/56816398550346895dd490ac/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
What will telematics do for vehicle safety?
• A vehicle braking ahead will alert the vehicles behind
• Construction zone beacons will slow vehicles
• Two vehicles approaching an intersection will warn of collision before the drivers can see the other vehicle
![Page 58: Technologies to Enhance Traffic Safety](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020323/56816398550346895dd490ac/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
• Sensors in one vehicle can warn other vehicles about road conditions
• Pedestrians and bicycles using a smart phone can warn drivers of their location
• A study by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration claims that 81% of all crashes can be averted once telematics is fully integrated
