UvAGPS Data Model

For different versions of the UvAGPS firmware different tables are used. For firmware version v0.9.3.6 till v1.0.0.X the tables UVA_ENGINEERING_DATA and UVA_TRACKING_DATA are used. But in the new firmware versions 1.0.1.4 till 1.0.2.4 so much information was added that new tables were introduced. However for the most important tracking tables a view is created so that all similar tracking for all types of firmware can be seen in one view. That is the UVA_TRACKING view.

All tables, views and functions are also in the GPS schema.

UVA_TRACKING_SPEED

Additional view that computes with the x_speed, y_speed and z_speed components the vnorth, veast and vdown speed components as well as the absolute value speed in meters/second.

In addition to the fields in the UVA_TRACKING view this view adds :

Field Type Key Constraints Comments

veast float - vx * sin(lon) + vy * cos(lon)

speed float sqrt(vx^2 + vy^2 + vz^2)

UvAGPS functions

get_uvagps_track_speed

Compute distance (meters), time-interval, speed (meters/second) and heading (degrees) for a series of subsequent tracking entries with specific device_info_serial. For the first entry in the sequence these values will always be missing because they are computed as the difference between subsequent rows.

Usage examples : 

select * from gps.get_uvagps_track_speed(119, '2008-01-01 00:00:00', '2010-01-01 00:00:00');

select * from gps.get_uvagps_track_speed(119);

select t.*, a.distance, a.interval, a.speed, a.direction from gps.get_uvagps_track_speed(119, '2008-01-01 00:00:00', '2010-01-01 00:00:00') a join gps.uva_tracking t using(device_info_serial, date_time);

Distances and heading are calculated with spherical correction with the Haversine formula as described here. The heading is the initial heading. PostGIS does not calculate the heading, so therefore we don't use PostGIS.

get_uvagps_track_distance

Compute distance (meters) for UvAGPS tracks to arbitrary point in lat/long or geometry location

Example usage : 

select * from gps.get_uvagps_track_distance(119, 52.1897017, 6.1996606); 

select * from gps.get_uvagps_track_distance(119, (select location from gps.uva_tracking where device_info_serial = 119 and date_time = '2009-05-07 19:55:08'));

Here the distance is calculated with the PostGIS distance_sphere function which uses spherical correction.


get_uvagps_track_distance_direction

Compute distance (meters) and direction (degrees) for UvAGPS tracks from arbitrary point in lat/long or geometry location

Example usage: 

select * from gps.get_uvagps_track_distance_direction(119, 52.1897017, 6.1996606);

Distances and direction are calculated with spherical correction with the Haversine formula as described here. The direction is the direction from the given point.
