Motivation


  •   to develop our own navigation system  that are more user-friendly
  •  to help user to feel more comfortable and safe using a smart navigation system
  •  to build a navigation system that are more accurate and precise
  •  to help build a mini yet compatible navigation system for target users
  •   to build a system that require less inputs from user
  • to reduce the repetitive alerts from gps narrator that will make some people feel annoyed

Proposed Solution


  • Concern more to disability user.
  • Observe / do some research before develop a device.
  • Think what possibility for future use.
  • Always update ( road / kind of places) by using satellite.
  • GPS device must user friendly and all navigation are working.

methodology

To complete our project become successful, we choose 3 methods which is :

i) Star Model Lifecycle




ii) previous system (common devices of GPS)
iii)  Questionnaire
iv)Observation / mini research

The objectives of project


Positioning
v  GPS provides the user with a precise location by utilizing radio frequencies.
 -The GPS receiver translates the information from at least three GPS satellites to provide the user with a two-dimensional location of latitudinal and longitudinal position on earth.

Navigation
v  Navigation enables a user to process his current location based on GPS data and travel to his desired location, also based on accurate GPS data.
-Any user with a working GPS receiver can navigate to a particular destination, whether traveling on foot, by automobile, by airplane or by ship. GPS navigation is even accurate underground.

Applications
v  GPS has enabled many businesses to operate more efficiently and effectively by providing accurate time.
-Commercial and public transportation companies can save time and money by routing their carriers to less-congested areas. The average traveler can use GPS to find the nearest coffee shop, book store or gas station.

v  GPS also can be used to enhance survival rates in search-and-rescue missions.
-The possibilities are endless, and as the use of GPS technology increases, so will the potential applications.

Facilities
v  GPS provide the easiest way for the users and easy to use the device.
-          People easily use the devices as a spectacles for ordinary people and the sound from the microphone for the disability person.

Target User

v  Pedestrian
-          They can use the devices such as 3D version of spectacles for them to easily find direction of the place.

v  Motorcyclist/ the owner of car / public transport
-          They can wear this devices when they riding the motorcycles. It is much more faster for them to reach the place.

v  Blind people
-          The second devices created for them. They will key in the name of location and follow  the direction told by the microphone.
