THE USE OF NAVIGATION SYSTEMS IN THE TRANSPORTATION OF VALUABLE GOODS

Abstract

The article presents the characteristics of the GPS-III system, which has a
number of additional advantages. The features of the European analogue of the
global navigation system – GALILEO - are noted. One of the goals of this system
is to provide a high–precision positional system that Europe can rely on regardless
of the Russian GLONASS system, the American GPS system and the Chinese
Beidou. GALILEO provides a unique global search and rescue function – SAR
with an essential feedback function. The features of the navigation system of
Chinese scientists – the Beidou satellite system and the Japanese global satellite
system – Quasi-Zenith are described. Trends in the development of global
navigation systems GLONASS and Beidou, as well as the use of satellite tracking
systems in road and rail transport and in the transportation of valuable goods are
considered.
