Popularization of satellite navigation equipment

Popularization of satellite navigation equipment

According to experts, from 2015 to 2018, the number of users of the GLONASS / GPS satellite system has increased several times. Statistics show an increased demand for tracking equipment. Satellite navigation is interested in transport companies, car depots and private car owners.

The state’s activity in the issue of satellite navigation programs is aimed at active expansion into foreign markets. Satellite navigation equipment works not only in Russia, but also in many other countries. As for India and neighboring countries, they also use satellite tracking systems. For them, as well as for Russia, transport monitoring is necessary to control the movement of cars.

The increase in demand for domestic satellite navigation systems was facilitated by a number of significant events. What are the Sochi Winter Olympics in 2014 and the 2018 World Football Championship? Demand was also influenced by Russia's entry into the WTO and the stage of Formula 1 spans.

Definition and purpose

What is a modern satellite navigation equipment? First of all, it is a multifunctional device that is installed on vehicles. It has several main purposes:

  • Locating a vehicle
  • Determining the direction and speed of the car.

Signals are transmitted by global satellite systems, after which data is exchanged with additional avionics. Satellite navigation equipment transmits information over radiotelephone networks.

What is included in the equipment?

One of the most important details is the navigation module. Its purpose is to determine metrological characteristics in case of detection of the coordinate-time parameters of the tracking object. The structure also includes a data exchange module with on-board sensors, devices and systems.

Another indispensable part of the equipment is a communication module for exchanging information with navigation and information centers. It is on them that the satellite navigation equipment connected to them is installed on the machines.

Using satellite monitoring equipment allows you to more efficiently conduct the transport business and control the movement of the fleet and the behavior of drivers behind the wheel.
