ARM 11 Based Location Positioning System

Abstract

The project aims in designing location positioning system without using GPSCommunicationmodule. A positioning system is a mechanism for determining thelocation of an object in space. Technologies for this task exist ranging from world -wide coverage with meter accuracy to workspace coverage with sub-millimeter accuracy. A local positioning system (LPS) is a navigation system that provides location information in all weather, anywhere within the coverage of the network, where there isan unobstructed line of sight to three or more signaling beacons of which the exact position on earth is known. Unlike GPS or other global navigation satellite systems, local positioning systems don't provide global coverage. Instead, they use (a set of) beaconswhich have a limited range, hence requiring the user to be near these. Beacons include cellular base stations, Wi-Fi access points, and radio broadcast towers. A special type of LPS is the Real-time locating system; which also allows real-time tracking of an object or person in a confined area such as a building.
