ABSTRACT

Kurniawan, Dynamic Convoy Tree-based Collaboration (DCTC) Method for Target Tracking using the Global Positioning System (GPS) Technology (supervised by Zulfajri B. Hasanuddin and Rhiza S. Sadjad )

This is a research project to demonstrate the implementation of the Dynamic Convoy Tree-based Collaboration (DCTC) method for target tracking using a set of data gathered by the Global Positioning System (GPS) technology.

A car moving along a route in the city of Makassar, INDONESIA, is considered as the target to be tracked. The car is equipped with a GPS providing the coordinates and time line of the motion. This set of data is treated as the simulation of the data collected by sensors in the real situation. The length of the path is ......... km, divided into ...... portions. 

The set of data collected by the GPS in the moving car is the input to a Borland Delphi Version 6 program specifically written to compute the pattern of the motion by the DCTC method. The results of he computation is only 71% accurate for 3 (three) different approaches, but it is 100% accurate for 2 (two) different approaches.
