Traffic Accident Vehicle Position Location on Florida's Highways Using Differential GPS

Ramesh Shrestha

Abstract:	Primarily designed and developed for navigation by the United States Department of Defense (DOD) in the late seventies, the NAVSTAR Global Positioning System (GPS) has revolutionized the positional data collection techniques not only in surveying and mapping but also in countless other areas. This paper describes a conceptual development and recommendation of differential GPS (DGPS) to collect real-time positional information to an accuracy of better than ltl0 meters in traffic accidents in Florida’s highways. Recommended configurations and generic specifications for the state-wide implementation based on a recently completed study are presented. Advantages and disadvantages of the available DGPS configuration options to provide uniformity in products regardless of a manufacture are discussed.
