What are the civil functions of China Beidou navigation system?

China Beidou navigation system has many civilian functions besides military functions. So what are the civilian functions of Beidou satellite navigation system?

Personal location service

When you enter an unfamiliar place, you can use a mobile phone with Beidou satellite navigation receiving chip or vehicle-mounted satellite navigation equipment to find your route.

Meteorological application

The meteorological application of Beidou navigation satellite can promote China's weather analysis, numerical weather forecast, climate change monitoring and prediction, improve China's space weather early warning business level, and enhance China's meteorological disaster prevention and mitigation capabilities.

In addition, the meteorological application of Beidou navigation satellite system also has an important impact on promoting the innovative application and industrial expansion of Beidou navigation satellite.

Road traffic management

Satellite navigation will help to slow down traffic jams and improve road traffic management. By installing a satellite navigation receiver and a data transmitter on the vehicle, the position information of the vehicle can be automatically forwarded to the central station within a few seconds. These location information can be used for road traffic management.

Railway intelligent transportation

Satellite navigation will promote the upgrading and transformation of traditional modes of transportation. For example, in the field of railway transportation, by installing satellite navigation terminal equipment, the train interval can be greatly shortened, the transportation cost can be reduced, and the transportation efficiency can be effectively improved. In the future, Beidou satellite navigation system will provide

Beidou navigation system

High-reliability and high-precision positioning, speed measurement and timing can promote the modernization of railway traffic and realize the transformation from traditional dispatching to intelligent traffic management.

Sea and water transport

Maritime and water transportation is one of the most extensive modes of transportation in the world, and it is also one of the earliest application fields of satellite navigation. Most ships sailing in oceans, rivers and lakes all over the world are equipped with satellite navigation terminal equipment, which makes sea and waterway transportation more efficient and safe. Beidou satellite navigation system will provide navigation, positioning and safety guarantee for ships sailing on water under any weather conditions. At the same time, the unique short message communication function of Beidou satellite navigation system will support the development of various new services.

air transport

When the plane lands on the airport runway, the most basic requirement is to ensure a safe distance between them. Using the advantages of precise positioning and speed measurement of satellite navigation, the instantaneous position of aircraft can be determined in real time, the safe distance between aircraft can be effectively reduced, and even in foggy days, automatic blind landing can be realized, which greatly improves flight safety and airport operation efficiency. By effectively combining Beidou satellite navigation system with other systems, it will provide more security for air transportation.

emergency relief

Satellite navigation has been widely used in search and rescue in sparsely populated areas such as deserts, mountains and oceans. In the event of major disasters such as earthquakes and floods, the key to successful rescue lies in knowing the disaster situation in time and arriving at the rescue site quickly. In addition to navigation and positioning, Beidou satellite navigation system also has the function of short message communication. Through the satellite navigation terminal equipment, the location and disaster situation can be reported in time, which can effectively shorten the rescue search time, improve the timeliness of emergency rescue and disaster relief, and greatly reduce the loss of people's lives and property.

Guided grazing

From 20 14 to 10, Beidou system began to pilot the construction of Beidou satellite grazing information guidance system in pastoral areas of Qinghai Province. It mainly relies on the management platform of grazing intelligent guidance system in pastoral areas, the Beidou intelligent terminal dedicated for herders and the automatic data acquisition station of pasture, and realizes the dynamic monitoring of pasture grass, cattle and sheep through the relay processing of Beidou ground station and the Big Dipper group. In the summer of 20 15, herders in experimental pastoral areas can use special Beidou intelligent terminal equipment to guide grazing.
