Live GPS framework

Live GPS framework

Our client is a solution provider to Utility companies. There has been a huge push to update underlying datasets at a faster pace than before. Ground collection of data has increased manifold with the ease of access to highly accurate and affordable GPS. Current systems are tuned to import survey data based on traditional techniques with a long Quality control phase.

By using live GPS view within their existing database, the data collection and integrity checking can happen on the field. Errors which cannot be identified in the office are easily identifiable and corrected on the field. As most of these client use proprietary systems, we have to create a framework which will allow the proprietary applications to connect to a live GPS feed with the option to add additional elements in future. An independent framework would also make it simpler to maintain compatibility during software upgrades.

The current framework collated the GPS data and has error correction options which can be accessed by the client application. GPS data from the main device is also stored for further post processing using specialized software to satisfy accuracy requirements. Client was able to deploy this framework in all their field devices while ensuring a standard format of data logging while getting access to live GPS data within their proprietary applications.
