The Placer GPS 450/455 mobile unit provides a versatile and economical platform for mobile positioning applications. The Placer will reliably provide vehicle location, heading, speed, and time in any weather condition, anywhere in the world. |
With two independent configurable serial ports (both may be used with a USB adapter), multiple interface protocols (TAIP, NMEA, TSIP), and a digital I/O port, the Placer may be configured to work with most computer aided dispatch (CAD) systems and in-vehicle mapping software used by public safety departments and utility companies. For communication with a CAD system the Placer can be connected directly to an in-vehicle laptop with wireless connectivity or directly to select RF data radio models. Automatic location reports from the Placer can be scheduled based on time, or time and distance. The Placer can also be polled on demand and the reporting schedule changed to an "on the fly" setting by the CAD system using Trimble ASCII Interface Protocol (TAIP) commands.
Optional Dead Reckoning
In addition to all the features of the Placer 450, the Placer 455 has an additional port that will accept input from an optional Dead Reckoning (DR) sensor for use in urban canyon environments or any areas of operation where there will likely be frequent intermittent loss of satellite signal due to obstructions (tall buildings, tunnels, canyons, etc). By blending GPS and DR continuously, the Placer 455 DR unit minimizes the effects of GPS outages, resulting in improved position accuracy.
