Interpretation Of The Role Of Gps In Japanese Earthquake

By:


Facing the devastating natural disaster, Japanese people are concerned about the relief work. People want to see a professional, efficient rescue team and would like to see the success.

During the earthquake, it is difficult for Tokyo, Japan to use communication tools. 100 calls can only get through one, but it was no obstacle to the use of the network. This fully shows that the old generation of communications technology has lagged far behind the rapid development of the Internet. Therefore, fast and effective relief work must be based on the Internet to achieve. The most typical application is the Global Positioning System (GPS).

In the relief work of Japanese earthquake, rescue teams widely used GPS locator, using GPS global satellite positioning system to locate the victims quickly and accurately, efficiently completing the rescue and making full use of the "golden 72 hours."

Due to the particularity of the rescue environment of the Japanese earthquake, it triggered the tsunami and lead to that all areas within 3 km from the coastline were inundated; almost all houses were covered by mud. To make matters worse, some disaster areas snowed and the weather was bad. It directly results in shortening the "golden 72 hours". So it requires the rescue techniques be more specialized, more intelligent and more efficient to achieve maximum relief in the shortest time.

The GPS global positioning system has technical features of high precision, all-weather, high efficiency, which fits the requirements of rescue work. GPS global satellite positioning system will be the mainstream of rescue work in the future.

GPS mobile phone plays the "savior" role during the earthquake in Japan. Due to frequent earthquakes in Japan, the disaster emergency response agencies require that in 2007 about 30% of Japan's mobile phones installed the GPS system. By the year of 2010, the GPS receiver has been installed in all phones.

During the rescue work of Japan earthquake, most GPS take the carrier of mobile phone. First, the GPS positioning module send the signal of the location of victims through the GPRS wireless network, transmit it to the internet, and then transferred to the GPS server for viewing. If necessary, the server then sends information to the digital terminal of rescue workers. Even if victims do not know the location, rescue personnel can track the GPS signal of the mobile phone to find victims. During the Japan's earthquake relief work, the number of built-in GPS rescue tools is endless. They had played an important role.
