BARRETT 977 VEHICLE TRACKING SYSTEM

OVERVIEW

The Barrett 977 Location and Tracking System was designed to provide a turn key solution to

real time tracking of vehicles or vessels using an HF network as the communications medium.

The tracking system comprises of the following:-

Abase station comprising:-

* Barrett HF Vehicle Tracking System 977 PC Software

* Barrett 950LTransceivers fitted with the RS-232 control option

* Computers, power supplies and suitable antennas

Mobiles/Vessels comprising:-

* Barrett 550R / 950R Transceiver connected to an external GPS via the NMEA

0183 port or fitted with the internal GPS receiver module

* Barrett 910/510 Automatic Tuning Mobile Antenna or Barrett 911/511 Automatic

Antenna Tuner and HF Marine Whip for Vessels.

The Barrett 977 Software, designed to run on a Microsoft Windows 95, 98, ME, 2000, XP and NT,

controls the Barrett 950 Base Transceiver, (via the serial cable provided).

The software controls the channel that the base transceiver interrogates the mobiles on and

commands the base transceiver to send the interrogation selective call sequence to the mobiles.

This selective call sequence, based on the CCIR 493-2 maritime format, contains the mobile

number to be interrogated and a control byte indicates the call is a GPS position request

sequence identifying it from a normal selcall or telcall sequence.

The mobile transceiver responds to the selective call by sending a selcall sequence back to the

base transceiver containing its self ID number and position information decoded from its GPS

receiver. This position information is subsequently decoded by the base transceiver and

communicated to the Barrett 977 Tracking Software, the position information is then used to

locate the mobile visually on the loaded maps.

Returned status codes from the Barrett 950 Transceiver allow Barrett 977 to know the status of

every location request command. Codes are also provided to indicate if the GPS receiver has

lost its fix or the mobile receiver is no longer responding.

Barrett 977 Software interprets the status codes and displays them as verbose messages in a

status window. This allows the operator to see the system status as well as quickly diagnosing

any problems.

Software Installation

Barrett 977 Software is supplied on a CD containing a standard Windows installation setup

program.

Installation requires the following steps:-

1. Start Windows.

2. Insert the CD labelled Barrett 977

3. Choose File, Run.

4. Type d:\setup and press Enter. (This assumes that d:\ is your CD drive)

5. The installation program will copy the program, configuration files, help file and

icon files into the selected drive and directory (default C:\INTERNAV) and

INTERNAV.INI to the WINDOWS directory.

Software Security

The software will not run without a Sentinel, a module supplied with the software that must be

plugged into the parallel port of the PC. The Sentinel is marked with the serial number of the

software it is supplied with and will not operate Barrett 977 Software with a different serial

number. The Sentinel should not be removed during a Barrett 977 session as the application will

terminate.

If a printer is also connected to the Sentinel, as the Sentinel provides a connection for the printer,

ensure that the printer is turned on.

Setting Up Mobiles

The mobiles should be programmed for the channels to be used for vehicle tracking. These

channels should have selcall and scanning enabled (Refer to the user manual supplied with the

transceiver for programming channel instructions). Once the transceivers have been installed,

check that the GPS receiver is operating using the send GPS position function as described in the

transceiver user manual. The display on the transceiver will show the position in latitude and

longitude. If the GPS receiver is not operating correctly the display will show an error message.

BARRETT 977 VEHICLE TRACKING SYSTEM

MAP REGISTRATION (Registration Menu)

Installing the map images in the Barrett 977 Tracking System.

The following instructions refer to first scanning a map and then registering the digital image into

the Barrett 977 System by the user.

Note:- Pre-registered digitised maps, scanned from maps supplied by the end user,

can be provided by Barrett Communications Pty Ltd. These are supplied on

disks with simple installation instructions. After installation the digitised maps

supplied by Barrett Communications Pty Ltd must be given map levels, (See

Map Level).

Co-ordinate System

All positioning information is shown and entered in latitudes and longitudes, in accordance with

the following convention:

- longitudes East of Greenwich must be entered as positive values and longitudes West of

Greenwich must be entered as negative values.

- latitudes North of the Equator must be entered as positive values and latitudes South of the

Equator must be entered as negative values.

Default Map Level

The system reserves one default map level called _DEFAULT. This map level holds an index

map of the world which is supplied as part of the standard Barrett 977 installation. This map

cannot be used for accurate tracking and should only be used for general location purposes.

BARRETT 977 VEHICLE TRACKING SYSTEM

Image Preparation

Before you can register a map image you must first scan the image(s) of the map(s), or alter an

existing image you have, to ensure compatibility with the Barrett 977 Software.

The map must be scanned in using an external graphics package. This map must have two or

four known points, identifiable on the map and defined using latitude and longitude or

AMG co-ordinates to enable registration into the Barrett 977 System.

The map images may be in the following file formats; BMP, PCX, TIF, TGA, JPG, GIF or DIB.

These file formats are identified by their extension. Note that PCX, TIF, GIF and JPG employ

some form of image compression and may take longer to display. The smallest of these is JPG

and picture quality can be lost with this format. Images should be saved as 256 colours. Images

with more than 256 colours may not display correctly.

Large maps can be scanned in sections and then registered with the same map level. For

example, each state of Australia can be scanned in separately at the same resolution, registered

with 977 and set to the map level ‘AUST STATES’.

The size (in pixels) of the maps is very important as the maps are displayed in their normal

resolution (or greater) on the screen, ie. if your screen is 800 x 600 pixels and your map is 1600 x

1200pixels you will only see ¼ of the map, you cannot zoom out. It is advised that you scan the

map in at the maximum resolution that you will require, then resize the map in your graphical

editor to create the resolutions you need for the different mapping levels, ie. have the first level at

800 x 600 pixels, the second at 1600 x 1200pixels and so on until you reach the resolution you

require. This will allow you to see the entire map at the first map level and to increase the

resolution if need be. Store the images in the Internav directory.Run the Barrett 977 Internav

program. Now it is necessary to register the map images as useable map-levels using the

registration process described below.

Installing the map images

Image registration is relating (geo-referencing) an image (produced using the process described

in Image Preparation) to two or four known positions defined using latitude and longitude or AMG

co-ordinates.

From the Registration Menu select either “Add to Register - 2 points or 4 points”. For best 2

point results select the points from the bottom left and top right corners of the image, respectively.

For best 4 point results select the registration points as close to the 4 corners of the image as

possible. Four point registration is selected mainly when working with conic coordinates.

Click on “Load Image” button and select a map image from the image selection file. The map you

wish to register is then displayed on the screen. A cross hair cursor is then displayed on the

screen. Place these cross hairs in the position of the first known point of latitude and longitude

and press the left mouse button. The following screen will then appear:

BARRETT 977 VEHICLE TRACKING SYSTEM

Add to Register (2 or 4 points)

Select input format. Latitude and longitude values can be processed using any one of the three

following formats:

1. Degrees, minutes, seconds (deg/min/sec).

2. Degrees, decimal minutes (deg/min.dec).

3. Degrees, decimal (deg.dec).

Enter in latitude and longitude for the selected first point. This information may be taken from

original map.

When completed select OK and cross hairs will reappear for the selection of the next co-

ordinates. Repeat this procedure for subsequent points.

When ‘conic’ is selected then the four registration points must be entered in the following order;

top left, top right, bottom right and bottom left. If ‘conic’ is not selected then registration points can

be entered in any order.

After all points have been digitised a map level must be assigned to the image after which the

registration is automatically stored in the register file.

After successful completion of the image registration a map level selection window will show up

on the screen. Designate a map-level name for this new map. Note that images all on the same

map-level should be assigned the same map-level name. Exit image registration menu. The last

map displayed before map registration will be shown. To view the map just registered refer to

section "Tracking Menu - Map Level".

BARRETT 977 VEHICLE TRACKING SYSTEM

Remove from Register

If an entry in the register is no longer required then it can be removed from the register by

selecting the appropriate image name. The image can then be deleted from the disk drive.

Display Register

This option will list all registered images and display the following information:

- image name

- map level

- latitude, longitude of image bottom left corner

- latitude, longitude of image top right corner

Now the system is installed and has its maps registered it is necessary to setup the following

parameters of the mobile stations:-
