The tracking device is most often hardwired installed in the vehicle, connected to the CAN-bus , ignition system switch, battery. It allows collection of extra data, which

810-483: A particular victim is generally considered stalking. The Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 created two new offenses of stalking by inserting new sections 2A and 4A into the PHA 1997. The new offences which came into force on 25 November 2012, are not retrospective. Section 2A (3) of the PHA 1997 sets out examples of acts or omissions which, in particular circumstances, are ones associated with stalking. Examples are: following

891-437: A person, watching or spying on them, or forcing contact with the victim through any means, including social media. Such behavior curtails a victim's freedom, leaving them feeling that they constantly have to be careful. In many cases, the conduct might appear innocent (if considered in isolation), but when carried out repeatedly, so as to amount to a course of conduct, it may then cause significant alarm, harassment or distress to

6075-556: The usefulness of the positioning information generated. Global coverage for each system is generally achieved by a satellite constellation of 18–30 medium Earth orbit (MEO) satellites spread between several orbital planes . The actual systems vary, but all use orbital inclinations of >50° and orbital periods of roughly twelve hours (at an altitude of about 20,000 kilometres or 12,000 miles). GNSS systems that provide enhanced accuracy and integrity monitoring usable for civil navigation are classified as follows: By their roles in

6156-776: The victim. The examples given in section 2A (3) are not an exhaustive list but an indication of the types of behavior that may be displayed in a stalking offense. Stalking and harassment of another or others can include a range of offenses such as those under the Protection from Harassment Act 1997; the Offences Against the Person Act 1861 ; the Sexual Offences Act 2003 ; and the Malicious Communications Act 1988 . Examples of

6237-399: Was a factor in 2015 in particular, when racers were held at various checkpoints for significant amounts of time until it was considered safe for them to continue. Some competitors that year were also redirected between Middleton and Alston to avoid sections of high ground, including Cross Fell , during the inclement weather. Participants wear or carry mandatory clothing and equipment over

6318-501: Was available for public use in early 2018. NavIC provides two levels of service, the "standard positioning service", which will be open for civilian use, and a "restricted service" (an encrypted one) for authorized users (including military). There are plans to expand NavIC system by increasing constellation size from 7 to 11. India plans to make the NavIC global by adding 24 more MEO satellites. The Global NavIC will be free to use for

6399-752: Was completed by December 2018. On 23 June 2020, the BDS-3 constellation deployment is fully completed after the last satellite was successfully launched at the Xichang Satellite Launch Center . First launch year: 2011 The European Union and European Space Agency agreed in March 2002 to introduce their own alternative to GPS, called the Galileo positioning system . Galileo became operational on 15 December 2016 (global Early Operational Capability, EOC). At an estimated cost of €10 billion,

6480-712: Was launched in September 2010. An independent satellite navigation system (from GPS) with 7 satellites is planned for 2023. The European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS) is a satellite-based augmentation system (SBAS) developed by the European Space Agency and EUROCONTROL on behalf of the European Commission . Currently, it supplements GPS by reporting on the reliability and accuracy of their positioning data and sending out corrections. The system will supplement Galileo in

6561-556: Was marginally worse than the 0.91 m of the QZSS GEO satellites. Doppler Orbitography and Radio-positioning Integrated by Satellite (DORIS) is a French precision navigation system. Unlike other GNSS systems, it is based on static emitting stations around the world, the receivers being on satellites, in order to precisely determine their orbital position. The system may be used also for mobile receivers on land with more limited usage and coverage. Used with traditional GNSS systems, it pushes
