Abstract :

Abstract: This study presents a new method to analyse the motion of moving objects. The novelty of this study is that the presented work obtains your location based on the coupled measured data using the GPS and other motion sensors of a smart phone. This method can be used for GPS free navigations in future studies. The smartphone sensors measure the desired values and a developed Android application records this data. A developed MATLAB code analyses these values for car road travel using multiple coordinate transformations and removes the effects of Earth's gravity from the measured acceleration. It is recognized that the presented method can be used to analyse the movement and performance of the studied material. The obtained results show that the integration of data recorded by the accelerometer sensor integrates the effects of noise and this sensor is not a convenient feature to obtain the instantaneous location. Calculating the acceleration using GPS data may also not be accurate in this case. Getting the location and acceleration using a GPS sensor and accelerometer is more accurate.
