Contribution of company in the project is development of precise positioning subsystem for the laboratory vehicle. As a result GNSS controller and supporting software were developed.

GNSS controller's primary application is work in road quality measurement system.

It can also be used for Mobile Mapping. It triggers two cameras and measures position of each picture with accuracy 0.5 meter and time with accuracy 1 ms.

Controller implements following functions

• Measures positions using GNSS receiver and SBAS or GPRS DGPS correction
• Provides periodic pulses for two camera triggering. Period can be set as time interval, distance measured by GNSS or number of pulses from optional external odometer
• Measures UTC time of each trigger pulse
• Transmits GNSS coordinates and trigger information to computer. Computer program precisely calculate coordinates and time of each trigger pulse using specially developed interpolation.

Technical Specification

• Position measurement accuracy of each frame: 0.5 m RMS @ speed up to 100 km/h
• GNSS Distance measurement accuracy: 0.2% (0-50 km/h); 0.1% (50 - 100 km/h)
• Time measurement resolution: 1 ms
• Maximum working speed:120 km/h
• Maximum camera triggering frequency: 250 fps and 125 fps

Pointer consists of GPS receiver, GSM/GPRS modem, microcontroller, events memory, battery up to 2.7 Ah, analog and digital inputs, high-current outputs, microphone input, 1 W speaker output and battery charger. Size of Pointer does not exceed the size of ordinary mobile phone.

Pointer is good solution for vehicle tracking and controlling, may be used by private persons, security and fleets. Special program kit is included.

The built-in program does all functions as GSMM1, also controls battery fullness and power availability. This makes the program unique as these characteristics enable it sending the last message until the battery runs completely empty and then the gadget is turned off.

All GSM/GPRS devices can be diagnosed, upgraded and set through GSM.

Sending voice messages, messages via protocol ADEMCO Contact ID.

The Pointer is compatible with the free www.gpsgate.com and www.gps-trace.com internet tracking options. The rate at which positions are sent to these servers can be controlled from the owners mobile phone. If required, gprs transmissions to the internet can be disabled when the cars position is not required.

Both services provide real time and historical car positions on Google map and satellite displays. For business users, who require more advanced tracking features, additional services are available for a fixed monthly fee. The gpsgate option also allows a choice over software hosting, either on the Franson server or on the owners own server through software purchase. The Pointer is also compatible with the www.gogps.ee option available in Estonia.
