  • Patent number: 11399258
    Abstract: A ground-based wireless system named the Autonomous Transceivers Positioning System (“ATPS”), performs complete autonomous tracking of multiple moving objects and determines position and velocity components (speed and direction) of a moving object, or the stationary position of an object. For a moving object, the ATPS provides position determination, with accuracy of several centimeters, and velocity determination with an accuracy of centimeters per second. The ATPS tracks the position of multiple objects simultaneously and continuously for as long as the object(s) reside within the workspace of the ATPS wireless system. The ATPS is expandable in its workspace continuously by allowing for tracking information to be autonomously handed over to new added sections of the ATPS.
