  1. BearTRAX: Baylor University Navigation System Presented by: Chris Homan Mentor: Dr. Peter M. Maurer

  2. Contents • The Mechanics of GPS • The BearTRAX System • Conclusion

  3. The Mechanics of GPS

  4. Today’s Navigation Solution • Global Positioning System • Three components: • Space component • Control component • User Component

  5. Understanding GPS:The Space Component • The NAVSTAR System • Initial Composition • First satellite launch: February 22, 1978 • Block I satellites • Secondary composition • 1989-1993 • Block II satellites

  6. The Space Component Continued… • Arrangement • Two dozen satellites • Six orbital spheres • Block II and IIA satellites

  7. The Control Component • Five main control stations • Check orbits of satellites in their view • One master control station • Relays orbital change information to satellites • Adjusts satellites when necessary

  8. The User Component • Consists of GPS receiver units • Two types of service: • SPS – Standard Positioning Service • PPS – Precise Positioning Service

  9. The BearTRAX System

  10. About BearTRAX • Purpose • General Requirements • Development details

  11. Installation • To install BearTRAX, simply acquire a copy of the BearTRAX Installation Cabinet File called “InstallBearTRAX.cab” and upload to your compatible device. • Double-click the cabinet file and BearTRAX installs itself.

  12. Running BearTRAX • To run BearTRAX simply locate it under Start -> Programs and click on the BearTRAX icon BearTRAX

  13. The BearTRAX GUI

  14. BearTRAX Current Location Dot

  15. The BearTRAX Menu

  16. BearTRAX Destination Dot

  17. BearTRAX GPS Info Panel

  18. To Remove BearTRAX • Access Start -> Settings -> Systems Tab -> Remove Programs. Select BearTRAX and press Remove.

  19. Programming Features • Ability to use a different map • Reset the map boundary and pixel member variables • Change the path to the map in the MapPanel_Paint() function • Dynamic list of destinations • Add/Remove record in PixelLoc.txt in the form of: <destination name>,<width pixel coordinate>, <height pixel coordinate> • Allow for customizable versions of the BearTRAX application

  20. Conclusion

  21. Conclusion • Man has come a long way in the field of navigation • GPS is a very common and easy to use navigational tool • Patrons of Baylor campus would greatly benefit from using BearTRAX technology
