The initial purpose of the first GNSS systems (GPS and GLONASS) was military but very early in the experimental phase of GPS the incident with the Korean Air Lines Flight 007 lead the US Government to decide to make GPS use free for civilian purposes[1].
Currently the use of GNSS systems in Civil Applications is generalized and every GNSS system in operation or in construction takes civil applications as one of the most important uses of GNSS systems.
Personal Applications
The availability of cheap GNSS chipsets allowed for integration of GNSS in different consumer products such as mobile phones. Given this tools individuals started to used GNSS not only for professional activities but also for leisure and entertaintment purposes.
Some of these uses bring confort to the user and can save the user time but others are just facilitate social interactions not bringing a tangible benefit to the user. The fact that the technology is available and free to use allows for these type of uses.
Different types of personal applications are:
Detailed information about Personal Applications can be found here.
Road Applications
Road Navigation was the first consumer GNSS application to have generalized use worldwide. The road market currently accounts for more than 50% of the revenue and shipments and the main GNSS application is Road Navigation.
Besides the Road Navigation GNSS in used for other road applications mainly for vehicle tacking with different purposes. These purposes can range from fleet management to the request of emergency services.
Different types of road applications are:
- Road Navigation
- Tolling
- Emergency Services
- Traffic Management
- Fleet Management & Vehicle Tracking
- Enforcement
