Positioning System (GPS) is selected as the tool in this assignment. Though GPS appears to be a common tool in the society, not everyone understands the process of development gone through by GPS. Global Positioning System is a space-based satellite navigation system that provides location and time information in all weather conditions, anywhere on or near the Earth where there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites. The system provides critical capabilities to military, civil

Midway Maritime Foundation ABSTRACT This paper analyses the grounding that occurred on the 13th of January 2012 to the cruise ship Costa Concordia. The analysis is carried out only on the conduct of navigation – and not on the emergency response - at three different levels: the errors of the bridge team, the error-inducing conditions of their workplace (the bridge), and the organizational processes behind them – following Reason’s (1997) model of organizational

How would pilots ever get around so easily without the help of navigation aides? Navigational aides have been around for almost as long as aircraft have been flying in the skies above us. The first navigation system was composted of just a high intensity-flashing beacon. These beacons were placed on the flight routes that were popularly flown in the mid 1920’s. With more time more of these technologies that help us navigate the world will be even simpler than today. This paper will explain how some

been used for military purposed. It is also the main technology that plays an important role in satellite navigation. The main purpose of GPS is to determine the position or coordinate of an object based on location, time and speed [2, 6] which provide Location Based Services (LBS) [5, 6]. Nowadays, the technology has been used widely in outdoor environment such as in navigation and coordinate measurements. GPS depends on satellites to communicate using radio signals. Common example
