Mapping the Underworld: Testing GPS and GSM in Urban Canyons   March 1, 2007
By: Ahmad Taha,Gethin W. Roberts,Jean-Philippe Montillet,Xiaolin Meng

Beneath the streets lie thousands of kilometers of cables and pipes. Buried decades ago, their exact location remains a mystery. At the University of Nottingham, researchers tested GPS and a system that pairs GPS with Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) algorithms. Their goal: find a...more >>

Bridge Deflection Monitoring - Tracking Millimeters across the Firth of Forth   February 1, 2006
By: Chris Brown,Gethin Wyn Roberts,Xiaolin Meng

Kinematic GPS trials with dual-frequency surveying grade code- and carrier-phase receivers measure 3D displacements of Scotland's Forth Road Bridge to millimeter precision. Researchers also found that measured frequencies of bridge movements compared well to the bridge frequencies obtained from...more >>
