Hello
> Are there in fact "local" gps that can be set up with
> a transmitter and reciviers in the lab? How accurate?
Inpossible in the lab: a direct access to satellites is needed.
Accuracy: Normal GPS: 20m (Thank you, Bill ;-))
Standard Differential GPS (code mode, standard
receivers): 2-5m
High Precision Differential GPS (phase mode,
professional recivers): 1-2cm,
10-20 positions per second
> If so, are there packages commercially available with
> small devices as well as all of the software (PC-NT)
> needed to use them
High accuracy = 3-4kg ! Usally, professional GPS are available with
softwares to compute position from raw data recorded by the receivers.
Some articles from our lab:
Perrin, O., Terrier, P., Ladetto, Q., Merminod, B. and Schutz, Y.
Improvement of walking speed prediction by accelerometry and altimetry,
validated by DGPS.
Medical and Biological Engineering and Computing, 38, 164-168, 2000

global positioning system.

Could a satellite-based navigation system (GPS) be used to assess the
physical activity of individuals on earth?
