Radio Airband

How much is a good airband radio ?

So how will a airband radio pick up the jet flying outside my window?

and is the range good|?

A good one is anything between £40 and £140….it will pick up the aircraft outside your window….but usually only what the pilot is saying…..I used to be able to pick up an airport from about 30 miles away, but usually the signal is line of sight, so the signal from the air traffic control is better from the top of a mountain than in a valley…..but the lower price band would still get you a good receiver.

Automatic Vehicle Location

Applications

Vehicle Application

automatic vehicle location is a powerful concept for managing vehicle fleets, service vehicles, emergency vehicles, and especially valuable construction equipment also transport vehicles (buses and trains). It is also used to track mobile assets such as construction equipment not wheeled non-motorized trailers and mobile power generators.

Application to drivers of vehicles and crews

The other purpose monitoring is to provide qualified services or to manage a big driver and efficient staffing. For example, suppose a fleet of ambulances has a goal of reaching to the location of a call for service within six minutes of receiving the request. Using AVL system allows to evaluate the locations of all vehicles in use with driver and crew to collect the vehicle most likely to reach the largest destination (the goal of service).

System Types

Settings

AVL system would use a typical terrestrial wireless communications is already installed and then communicates the same time the location of a director of a vehicle fleet.

Simple goniometric

amateur radio and some wireless systems PCS phones use or find the address or the triangulation of the signals radiated by the mobile transmitter. It is sometimes called radio direction finding or RDF. The simplest forms of these systems calculate the bearing from two sites fixed to mobile. This creates a triangle with endpoints in both fixed and mobile points. Trigonometry tells you more or less where there is the mobile transmitter. In wireless systems, telephones transmit continuously to lift, making monitoring and continuous sampling many possible place. This is a type of tracking system required by the Laws of the Federal Communications Commission for mobile Enhanced 911.

Former track based LORAN

Motorola offers a system of the 1970s based on the U.S. Coast Guard system navigation LORAN sea. The LORAN system was designed to ship, but the signal levels to the U.S. from east to west and coastal areas are suitable for use with receivers in the cars. The system may have been marketed under the name of Metricom Motorola model. It consisted of an LF LORAN receiver and data interface box / modem connected to a separate two-way radio. The receiver and the interface to calculate the latitude and longitude in degrees, decimal degrees based on LORAN signals. This is sent through as radio or MDC-1200 MDC-4800 data in a system controller, who planned the mobile approximate location on a map. The system worked reliably, but Sometimes there were problems with electricity in urban noise. Sparking electric carts and industrial facilities that radiated electrical noise in a overwhelmed the LORAN signals, affecting the ability of the mobile system to determine the geolocation. Due to the limited resolution, such a system was impractical for small communities or areas of operation, such as the open pit mine or the port.

Guidance systems

A track and locate vehicles along fixed routes, a technology called Guidance transmitters used. This is used in the transit routes and railway lines, where vehicles to constantly monitor operated in the same linear path. A transponder or RFID chip along the path of the vehicle would be surveyed as the train or bus travels its route. As each transponder is approved, the vehicle would be moving query and receive an acknowledgment or handshake signal from the transmitter. A transmitter in the mobile indicating that passed the signal to a system controller. This enables the monitoring, a call center or dispatch center to monitor the progress of vehicle and assess whether the vehicle was on schedule. These systems are an alternative within the tunnels or other means of transport where GPS signals are blocked terrain.

Today, GPS-based locating

The low cost and ubiquity of Global Positioning System or GPS equipment has been provided to more accurate and reliable systems telelocation. GPS signals are impervious to most sources of electrical noise and do not require the user to install a complete system. Only one receiver pick up signals from the satellite segment is installed in each vehicle and a radio to communicate location data collected with a release point.

telelocation large private or AVL systems send data from GPS receivers in vehicles to a dispatch center on their private backbone, user-owned radio. These Enterprise systems are used as the delivery of packages and ambulances. Smaller systems that do not justify building a separate radio system to use services cellular or PCS data to communicate the location data from vehicles to the dispatch center. The location data periodically surveyed for each car in a fleet by a central controller or computer. In the simplest systems, GPS data is displayed in a map that allows humans to determine the location of each vehicle. More complex systems feed data into a system of computer-aided dispatch that automates the process. For example, aided dispatch system computer can see the location of a call for service and then provide a list of the four nearest ambulances. This reduces the choice of the operator of the fleet complete with a choice of four vehicles easier.

Some wireless service providers such as Nextel GPS was decided the best way provide location data that allows wireless enhanced 9-1-1 mandate. The new Nextel radios have built GPS receivers are consulted if 9-1-1 is dialed. The 9-1-1 center is provided with the latitude and longitude of the GPS radio receiver. In the centers of computer-aided dispatch, the system can assign an address to the call based on these coordinates, or may project an icon representing the location of the caller on a map of the area.

Sensor augmented by AVL

The main purpose of using AVL is not only to locate the vehicles, but also to obtain information about the engine data, fuel consumption, driver data and sensor data that is doors, freezer room in the trucks or air pressure. These data can be obtained via the CAN-bus through direct connections to the AVL system or through open bus systems as UFDEX that sends and receives data via SMS or GPRS in plain ASCII text format. Because most AVL consists of two parts, GPS and GSM modem with additional embedded software AVL contained in a microcontroller, the majority of AVL systems are set for their purposes Unless connected to a bus system open to possibilities of expansion.

With an open bus system users can send invoices based on goods supplied with the exact location, time and date data when connected to scale RFID or bar codes, can make a pretty good automated system to prevent errors human.

Log function

Another scenario for the functions of the sensor is connected to the AVL information to the driver, to collect data on driving time, stops, or even the absence of the driver of the vehicle. If the driver or the conditions of workers is such that the hourly rates for driving and working out is not the same, this can be controlled by the sensors. [Needs] clarification

Differentiate between automatic vehicle location and event monitoring systems activated

It may be useful to distinguish between the vehicle location systems that track and automatic vehicle location systems means that when triggered by an event. There is growing crossover between the different systems and those with experience this sector will be able to draw on a number of examples that break the rule.

AVL (Automatic Vehicle Location) This vehicle monitoring commonly used in the field of fleet management and driver. The unit automatically configures itself to transmit place in an interval of time, for example, every 5 minutes. The unit is activated when the ignition is turned on / off.

EATS (Events triggered the monitoring system) This type of system is used primarily in relation to the vehicle or driver safety solutions. If, for example, a thief gets into her car and attempts to steal, the tracking system can be activated per unit of immobilizer or motion sensor is activated. An oversight agency, then automatically notified that the unit has been activated and start vehicle tracking.

Some products on the market are a hybrid of both AVL and technology EATS. However, industry practice has tended to lean towards a separation of these functions. It is worth noting that the vehicle tracking products tend to fall into a not so much of the technologies.

AVL technology is mainly used to implement a vehicle tracking or fleet management solutions conductor. The use of automatic location vehicle is given in the following scenario, a car breaks down on the side of the road and the occupant requests a vehicle recovery company. The recovery company vehicle has several vehicles that operate in the area. No need to call each driver to check the dealer location can pinpoint the vehicle nearest recovery and assign it to the new job. If you are going to incorporate other aspects of vehicle telematics in this scenario, the dispatcher in rather than calling the vehicle recovery operation, could pass the details of the changes directly into the mobile data generating device, which then is used for satellite navigation in the vehicle with the help of his trip to work.

EATS technology is predominantly used for tracking application vehicle to vehicle safety solutions. An example of this distinction is given in the following scenario; A construction company owns some parts of machinery plant that is usually left untreated, weekends, on construction sites. The thieves break into a website and a team piece, like an excavator, loaded into the back of a flatbed truck and then expelled. Normally, the ignition Wouldn need to be turned on and most of the available products are usually Wouldn AVL activated. Only products which included a unit that was activated by a motion sensor or alarm event Geofence, would be activated.

Both AVL and EATS track systems but often for different purposes.

Special Applications of Automatic Vehicle Location

vehicle location technology can be used in the following scenarios:

Fleet Management: When managing a fleet of vehicles, knowing the real-time location of all drivers allows management to meet customer needs more efficiently. Vehicle location information can also be used to verify that legal requirements are met: for example, that drivers are taking breaks and obey speed limits.

Passenger Information: Time real passenger information systems using predictions based on the AVL input to display the expected arrival and departure of public transport services.

Asset tracking: companies that need to track valuable assets for insurance or other monitoring purposes can now plot the location of assets in real time on a map and closely monitor the movement and condition. For example, transport and logistics companies often operate lorries with detachable load carrying units. In this case, trailers can be tracked independently of the cabins used for the unit. The combination of vehicle location with inventory management can be used to reconcile the element that is currently in which vehicle can be used to identify the physical location to the level of individual packages.

Field worker management: companies with field service or sales force can use information from vehicle tracking systems time planning field workers, schedule subsequent customer visits and be able to operate these services efficiently.

Undercover surveillance: tracking devices attached to vehicles concealed by the police or intelligence organizations can be used to track the journeys made by people who are under surveillance
