Ubiquitous Positioning The GNSS Technology and Applications 1st Edition by Robin Mannings 1596931035 9781596931039

This groundbreaking resource offers a practical, in-depth understanding of ubiquitous positioning – technology that identifies the location and position of people, vehicles, and objects in time and space in the digitized networked economy. The future and growth of ubiquitous positioning will be fueled by the convergence or many other areas of technology, from mobile telematics, Internet technology, and location systems, to sensing systems, geographic information systems, and the semantic web. This first-of-its-kind volume explores ubiquitous positioning from a convergence perspective, offering a comprehensive road map to this burgeoning field. The book uses the term “Whereness” – coined by the author to encapsulate everything about ubiquitous positioning technology and business concerns.
