Abstract

The availability of accurate location, navigation, and timing data made possible by Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) technology has had a profound impact on the logistics industry. They are now crucial to the logistics industry’s supply chain management, route optimization, asset protection, and overall operational efficiency. Positioning, navigation, and timing services are made available to customers all around the world thanks to the GNSS networks of satellites. Most people are familiar with the United States Global Positioning System (GPS), the most widely used GNSS. GNSS receivers on the ground may be able to pick up signals that a network of satellites in Earth’s orbit sends out. The receivers use the signals to determine their position, velocity, and time, allowing for more precise navigation and timing measures. Transportation, mapping, surveying, and time synchronization are just a few of the many fields where GNSS has become indispensable. The military, police, and emergency services rely on it for navigation and communication as well. Like any other technology dependent ...
