Abstract
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a constellation of satellites that
broadcast signals, which are used to derive precise timing, location, and
velocity information. The derived information can then be clubbed with other
systems, such as communication devices, computers, and software to perform a
variety of functions. With equipments ranging from hand-held receivers to
rack-mounted electronics, the signals of global positioning systems can be
used by anyone, anytime, anywhere in the world.
GPS is an information technology that is part of the emerging Global
Information Infrastructure. GPS technology has contributed a great deal to the
world economy over the last decade. Presently, there are more than hundreds of
uses of GPS, starting from stand-alone applications to more integrated,
embedded applications.
In Western Europe, the vehicle navigation market is in its initial stages, but
there is already a strong demand for traffic information and navigation
solutions. Countries like USA, Japan, and some others have gained a cumulative
shipment of 9.39 million in-vehicle navigation and traffic information units
in May 2002, and still find a great demand. GPS (global positioning system)
production value globally is expected to grow at more than US$30 billion in
2008, up from US$13 billion in 2003.
Based on the industry trends and technological assessment, experts predict
that the market is expected to grow by the next 15-20 years. The market is yet
to perform as well as expected.
