Cell phones pinpoint locations

In November 1993, student Jennifer Koon was kidnapped and killed in New York state in the United States.

Before her death, the 18-year-old college sophomore and daughter of a New York state assemblyman managed to call 911, but police could not determine her position from the cellphone signal.

Three years later, the public safety network Location-based Services was established, allowing authorities to locate users through radio signals.

Now, in China, nearly two decades later, such services are not far away.

"LBS is nothing new. The reason we could not develop an LBS in China until now is that the Internet on mobiles only became popular in the past few years," said Shi Chuang, a professor at Wuhan University and director of the National Engineering Research Center for Satellite Positioning System.

"With LBS, we can integrate information on people ... and things, so that we can dig out business value," he said.

As a result, life can be made more convenient, such as through live monitoring of traffic congestion or monitoring dangerous and poisonous goods.

However, nothing can be accomplished without a highly accurate positioning system.

Paul Zandbergen, an associate professor at the University of New Mexico's geography department, did an accuracy survey on positioning systems on the 3G iPhone in 2009.

Results showed Wi-Fi locations using this phone had an average error of 74 meters for 58 observations, failing to meet the published accuracy specifications, while cellular positioning using this phone had a median error of 600 meters for 64 observations.

"Most pointing devices can pinpoint positions within 10 meters. But if we can improve the accuracy to less than a meter, it means we can accomplish many tasks that were not possible without a high-accuracy system," Shi said.

On Oct 9, China's National Remote Sensing Center said a new navigation system, Xihe, had been successfully tested to pinpoint positions within 0.1 meters outdoors and 3 meters indoors.

The system benefits business owners like Cao Hongjie, vice-president of Beijing UniStrong Science and Technology, a maker of navigation products.

"In the past, we designed different circuit boards for clients having different demands for the precision, but with Xihe, the precision difference can be controlled in operation centers, and we can use a device that applies to Xihe to provide services with different accuracy," Cao said.

For example, during China's last land survey, UniStrong designed several devices because accuracy requirements in eastern and western parts of the country vary by up to 50 times.

Cao said the device that sold best and cost 15,000 yuan ($2,400) had an error factor of less than 5 cm. "But now I have developed a new version of the land survey device using the Xihe system, which is as good as the former and I'm planning to sell it for up to 8,000 yuan," he said. "The new technology lowers the price, but gives me even more room for profit."

Questions:

1. What technology can help public safety?

2. What are some practical applications?

3. How accurate is the system?

Answers:

1. Location-based Services using radio signals.

2. Live monitoring of traffic congestion or monitoring dangerous and poisonous goods.

3. Most pointing devices can pinpoint positions within 10 meters.
