weekly written analysis 3-1

      The GPS is adopted by more and more drivers, generally out of added accessory. The reason of this passion of course holds in the fact that a GPS guides you in a quasi-perfect unknown ground way. But did you know that the GPS also plays a significant part in the fight against climate warming?


      In theory, the optimization of the ways must make it possible to limit the time spent on the road and thus consumption and pollution. Certain GPS are equipped with functions that evaluate the traffic on the ways, thus allowing to avoid the congestions (a car at stop or very low speed pollutes more).It helps to arrive more quickly at destination, therefore to use less fuel and to pollute less.

      The factor time is a critical component of any rescue operation. Knowledge specifies localization of the terrestrial reference marks, streets, buildings, available resources with the emergency services and sites of help in the event of catastrophe saves time and saves lives. This information is essential for the rescue squads and the personnel charged to protect the population because they help them to save lives and to reduce the property damages. The System of world positioning (GPS, Total Positioning System) is a technology which contributes to meet these needs. The GPS is today an integral part for the arsenal of the services of intervention in the event of urgency that it is a question of coming to assistance of a motorist in distress or of guiding vehicles of help.

      In conclusion the modernization of the GPS will continue to facilitate the task of the services in charge with the helps to the disaster victims and the protection of the population. The addition of new civil signals will increase the precision and the reliability of the GPS all over the world. In short, the modernization of the GPS will make it possible to save even more lives and to help the victims of catastrophes in the whole world with being helped more quickly.
