How does a GPS vehicle tracking solution help in emergencies?
Increasing numbers of fire, police and emergency medical vehicles are using GPS Vehicle Tracking Solution units to improve response times in emergency situations. Emergency rescue personnel have used GPS units to locate and save trapped miners and the American Heart Association estimates that GPS units in ambulances could save as many as 100,000 lives annually, doubling the survival rate for heart attack sufferers.
How do GPS units benefit police officers?
Besides helping them to quickly find locales during emergencies, police can trace GPS-equipped cars in cases of car-jacking. Cutting-edge technology will soon allow police officers to shoot adhesive-backed GPS homing darts onto fleeing vehicles, helping police to track them down without endangering bystanders with a high-speed car chase.
How do GPS units benefit fire fighters?
GPS-equipped airplanes now help pinpoint the source and location of forest fires, which helps fire fighters combat fires in a safer and more effective manner.
How does a GPS vehicle tracking solution work?
Initially devised as a military navigation system, twenty-seven satellites (twenty-four operational and three spares!) orbit the earth twice daily. These satellites give off high frequency radio waves, which travel at the speed of light. A GPS vehicle tracking unit receives information from at least three satellites. By using a mathematical equation known as trilateration, the GPS vehicle tracking unit calculates the distance between you – wherever you are! – and those satellites, and then determines the latitude and longitude – and perhaps altitude – of your car.
For success, precise time must be synchronized between the satellites and GPS units. Satellites contain $50,000-$100,000 atomic clocks that keep exact time, while receivers use quartz clocks that accurately synthesize information received. A GPS keeps track of how far you’ve traveled and how long, as well as your speed of travel.
