Description

Maritime Radio Tracking System and Method
This invention relates to a method of tracking maritime vehicles and a maritime radio tracking system. The invention also relates to a customised maritime field tracking device and a customised maritime location-based service software application.
The invention is expected to be advantageously applicable to the tracking of police and rescue vehicles at sea, for example police boats and helicopters using VHF wireless communication. Accordingly, such applications should particularly, but not exclusively, be borne in mind when considering this specification.
In this specification, the tracking of maritime vehicles extends to the tracking of maritime personnel.
Background of the invention
Marine radios are a traditional means for ships to keep in touch with other ships and shores. Marine Very High Frequency (VHF) radio sets are generally installed on ships and most sea-going craft and employ two-way radio transceivers on ships and watercraft for bi-directional voice communication from ship-to-ship, ship-to-shore, and ship-to-aircraft. Such VHF radios are either fixed or portable VHF radio sets, with fixed radio sets having the advantage of a more reliable power source, higher transmit power, and a larger and more effective antenna.
Unrelated to bi-directional radio communication, a Location-based Service (LBS) generally refers to a software information service that provide geographic data and information to users, such as tracking systems and navigation software. Most Location-based Services rely on Global Positioning System (GPS) enabled cellular handsets and cellular networks for the reporting and tracking of handset location. The inventors have identified a need for a location-based service for use in maritime applications but have found cellular network-based location services lacking in this respect due to the unreliable coverage of cellular networks at sea.
The present invention aims to provide a maritime radio tracking system using maritime VHF wireless communication radios and location-based service to overcome the drawback of poor cellular network coverage associated with known location -based services.
Summary of the invention
According to a first aspect of the invention there is provided a maritime field tracking device which includes: a GPS receiver; a VHF transceiver; and a tracking device computer module, the GPS receiver being in operative communication with the VHF transceiver via the tracking device computer module, and the maritime field tracking device being operable to transmit a geographic location of the device to an operations centre.
The tracking device computer module may include a microprocessor having installed thereon a tracking device (client-side) software application that is implemented using customised assembly language.
In one embodiment of the invention, the maritime field tracking device may be installed on a maritime vehicle. In another embodiment, the maritime field tracking device may be a portable maritime field tracking device, for example a mobile handset.
According to another aspect of the invention there is provided a maritime radio tracking system which includes: a maritime field tracking device as hereinbefore described; and an operations centre, the operations centre having installed thereat: one or more VHF transceivers, and a Location-based Service (LBS) (server side) software application being in operative communication with the one or more VHF transceivers via an operations centre computer module that is implemented using customised assembly language, the one or more VHF transceivers of the operations centre being in operative communication with the VHF transceiver of the maritime field tracking device and the Location-based Service (LBS) (server side) software application being operable to map and display the geographic location of the field tracking device in substantially real-time.
According to another aspect of the invention there is provided a method of tracking maritime vehicles which includes: establishing a geographic location of a maritime field tracking device via a GPS receiver of the device; communicating the geographic location to a VHF transceiver of the field tracking device via a tracking device computer module that is implemented using customised assembly language; transmitting the geographic location from the VHF transceiver of the field tracking device to one or more VHF transceivers of an operations centre; communicating the geographic location to a Location-based Service (LBS) (server side) software application via an operations centre computer module that is implemented using customised assembly language; and mapping and displaying the geographic location at the Location -based Service (LBS) (server side) software application in substantially real-time for the operations centre’s operative tracking of the geographic location of the field tracking device.
According to yet another aspect of the invention, there is provided a computer program product for a maritime radio tracking system, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored computer- readable program code, the computer-readable program code executable by processing circuit to perform the steps in the method of tracking maritime vehicles as hereinbefore described.
