VEHICLE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM WITH DIFFERENTIAL GPS

To achieve high efficiency in the logistics field, information systemization is required. The information system in logistics consists of freight management and vehicle management. Today, some improvements to attain higher efficiency are being made in freight management. But in the vehicle management field, job efficiency depends on the skilled operator. In recent years, vehicle management systems have been proposed to manage vehicle operation with higher efficiency. The systems supports high efficiency vehicle operation via centralized vehicle status and position. Nippondenso has developed a vehicle management system using global positioning system (GPS) technology and recent communications technology. The GPS is managed by the Department of Defense in the United States and is generally used for navigation systems. Communication technology is developing from analog to digital and from voice communications to data communications. Radio communication infrastructure, such as general radio for business use, multi channel access, and satellite communication, are presently used. In the former situation, Nippondenso's vehicle management system has utilized differential GPS, which is more precise by one digit in numbers than the conventional GPS and thus has improved the precision in specifying a position. The system that can be flexibly applied to many communications media that are parts of the vehicle management system and are connecting the base station and a vehicle is now available. This report describes Nippondenso's vehicle management system.
