GNSS Principles of Operation
Onboard
precision clock
Receiver clock
Receiver
• Generates PRN sequences –
correlates with received GNSS
signals to measure
(pseudo)ranges.
• Combines ranges to derive
PVT (position, velocity, & time)

Why GNSS?
• Free at point of use
• Global
• Available 24/7
• Receivers low cost, lightweight, widely available, …
• Impressive accuracy ((a) few m; (b) ~cm)
• Reliable
• & gets integrated with other useful stuff
• Maps (context for precise location, routes, …)
• Databases (of pretty much anything)
• I.T. & Communications (facilities, nearby things, email, instructions)

Example Uses
Locating
• Identify a missing manhole cover / mark a pothole for repair
• (Precision survey for building / subsidence / ownership / …)
Tracking & Tagging
• Lone workers, aging and vulnerable people
• Assets
• (Low-risk criminals)
• Theft protection / where did I leave that Car / JCB / Sample of ?
Vehicles & Fleet Management
• Driving style (e.g. fuel efficiency), conformance with the law, evidence
• Tagging Deliveries, Collections, …
• Efficient routing, Optimisation of x y z
