Gps Car Navigation System

[Shinyoung Gedris]

Anavigation system is a computing system that aids in navigation. Navigation systems may be entirely on board the vehicle or vessel that the system is controlling (for example, on the ship's bridge) or located elsewhere, making use of radio or other signal transmission to control the vehicle or vessel. In some cases, a combination of these methods is used.

The first in-car navigation system available to consumers in 1985 was called Etak Navigation.[3] The company, Etak, was led by engineer Stan Honey and incubated by Nolan Bushnell's Catalyst Technologies in Silicon Valley.[4] Etak held a number of patents and produced digitized maps for the navigation system.[3] The maps were streamed to the navigation system from special tape cassettes. The early digitized maps turned out to be more valuable than the navigation system.[4] The car icon used in Etak Navigation display was a vector-based graphic based on Atari, Inc.'s Asteroids spaceship.[4]

The main customer benefits of the 2.1 software include optimizing ease of use for clinicians, enhancing visualization of medical image datasets, providing a new set of trajectory planning tools, introducing new workflow tools for gene therapy clinical trials, and numerous performance and technical improvements which will help to streamline and optimize the clinical workflow.

The ClearPoint System is intended as an integral part of procedures that have traditionally used stereotactic methodology. These procedures include biopsies, catheter and electrode insertion, including deep brain stimulation (DBS) lead placement. The System is intended for use only with 1.5 and 3.0 Tesla MRI scanners.

The ClearPoint Navigation System Software is an intuitive, menu-driven software for surgical planning, navigation to target, and device delivery. Our software and MRI-compatible workstation coordinate with the scanner to effectively utilize intraprocedural MR images. This provides intra-procedural navigation for the neurosurgeon to reach the desired anatomical target with a high degree of precision.

The Great Lakes Navigation System is a complex deepwater navigation system stretching 1,600 miles through all five Great Lakes and connecting channels from Duluth, Minnesota to Ogdensburg, New York. This bi-national resource is composed of the five Great Lakes, the connecting channels of the Great Lakes, the St Lawrence River and the Gulf of St. Lawrence.

The U.S. portion of the system includes 140 harbors (60 commercial; 80 recreational), two operational locks, 104 miles of breakwaters and jetties, and over 600 miles of maintained navigation channels. In addition, the GLNS is connected to several other shallow draft waterways (Illinois Waterway, New York State Barge Canal, etc.) to form an important waterborne transportation network, reaching deep into the continent.

The US Army Corps of Engineers helps to maintain Great Lakes navigation through dredging of channels and harbors, and construction and maintenance of coastal infrastructure.

The possible answers to your question are for all practical purposes infinite depending on the details of the system failure, the weather, where you are, and crew experience, to name a few. However, as a thought exercise extremely unlikely to ever happen in reality, let's play with it a bit.

First, let's define the navigational systems failure to be such that we cannot determine our position by reference to instruments in the cockpit. What have we got left? If we can still communicate, others can work with us to determine our position and develop a course of action.

The simplest case would be if we were talking to ATC, were in an area of secondary radar coverage, and our transponder was still working. If that were the case, it would be a matter of getting radar vectors to wherever we wanted to go. If I were the captain, I would want to go to the nearest suitable airport since if I had had a failure of everything that could tell me in-cockpit where I was, I would be worried about possible further failures.

If talking to ATC and in an area of primary radar coverage only or you also had transponder failure, they could give us a series of turns to identify us (used to do that back in the 1960s occasionally).

If you were out of range of VHF communications with ATC, you could try getting a relay via another aircraft that was in VHF range of ATC. Two aircraft at altitude can talk to each other at far greater distances than an aircraft to a ground station. A simple call to any listening station or aircraft on 121.5 requesting assistance will almost always get a response.

If VHF communication is not possible, you could try getting a patch through to ATC on HF radio. My favorite back in the 1990s was Stockholm radio. These days, however, SATCOM is available. I don't know anything about it, but I imagine it provides the ability of an aircraft anyplace in the world to be patched through to an appropriate ATC facility.

So, if you're talking to ATC (by whatever means) but you're out of radar coverage, what then? Every captain would remember generally where he was prior to the failure. It could be as simple as someplace in the North Atlantic and eastbound. He could simply tell ATC that and that he will fly a westerly heading. ATC would clear the altitude he was at and look for him along the westerly limits of their radar coverage for when he inevitably would show up. Actually if it was the North Atlantic and it was nighttime, he could just follow any airplane in front of him. They're easy to see stacked out into the distance.

The general idea would be to get to where you could be seen by ATC, and go from there. Anymore, there aren't a lot of areas along regularly traveled airline routes over land in North America and Europe where above 30,000 ft an airline flight won't be seen. That was true back in the 1990s, more true now I am sure, and increasingly true through the world, especially if military radar can be utilized..
