Nationwide Differential Global Positioning System Expanding the Maritime System into the Nationwide DGPS Nationwide Differential Global Positioning System (NDGPS)
What does NDGPS give me? System Characteristics u Accuracy n n u Integrity n n u 0. 5 meter near the reference station Can degrade up to 1 meter/150 km Typical accuracy is 1 to 3 meters 2 to 5 cm accuracy with Post Processing 5 seconds at 100 bps 2. 5 seconds at 200 bps Availability is n n >99. 7% in areas of single coverage >99. 9% in areas of dual coverage Nationwide Differential Global Positioning System (NDGPS)
International Standard u NDGPS is designed to an international, non-proprietary standard n Compliant with RTCM SC-104 and ITU-R M. 823 n Greatly increases market for manufacturers n Enhances Global interoperability u Signal is free to all users u 35 countries operate compatible systems u Many other countries are planning systems u Resulting in a seamless international navigation system Nationwide Differential Global Positioning System (NDGPS)
Acceptance of the international standard is leading to a seamless worldwide service. Nationwide Differential Global Positioning System (NDGPS)
Maritime Use DGPS guides every type of craft from small pleasure boats to large container ships Nationwide Differential Global Positioning System (NDGPS)
Army Corps of Engineers DGPS in Dredging Army Corps of Engineers needs 2 meter accuracy to position their dredges. Nationwide Differential Global Positioning System (NDGPS)
NDGPS Requirements Positive Train Control l Provide Situational Awareness l Prevent accidents, saving over $60 million per year l Reduce fuel consumption by better pacing trains l Increase rail line capacity through closer train spacing, thus reducing the need for additional capital investment in plant and equipment Nationwide Differential Global Positioning System (NDGPS)
NDGPS use in Surveying GPS has revolutionized the surveying industry. NDGPS provides survey grade accuracy when used in post processing applications. Nationwide Differential Global Positioning System (NDGPS)
Nationwide DGPS Intelligent Transportation System u An integrated vehicle safety system consisting of DGPS & communication links will: l l l Automatically notify emergency personnel when an air bag is deployed, allowing for faster response to the exact location, thus saving some of the 41, 000 people who die on U. S. roads each year. Gives drivers Situational Awareness, preventing multi-car pile-ups Automatically reroute traffic around an accident, improving traffic flow.

Hydrographic Surveys and Aerial Mapping Nationwide Differential Global Positioning System (NDGPS)
NOAA’s Forecast Systems Lab Measuring Water Vapor NDGPS Site in Whitney, NE Water vapor is the most important component of weather and the least observed. DGPS reference stations continuously measure the water vapor in the atmosphere above the reference station, thus greatly improving short term forecasts.
