With the popularization of GSM mobile telephony now days a great majority of people use their mobile telephones while they are in vehicles.

To analyze the idea we have to understand how the GSM network works, know its architecture and know the potencial usability of gained information in traffic planning. There are many ways of determining the position of mobile telephone that differ in the accuracy of positioning and difficulty of implementation in the GSM network.

Abstract (ePrints): |
Z razširjeno uporabo GSM mobilne telefonije v sodobnem času ima večina ljudi, medtem ko se vozi v vozilu s seboj mobilni telefon. Na tej predpostavki je zasnovana ideja sledenja vozilom preko GSM mobilnih telefonov uporabnikov. V ideji se združuje tehnologija mobilne telefonije in prometno inženirstvo. Za analizo ideje je potrebno poznavanje delovanja in arhitekture GSM omrežja ter prepoznavanje potenciala uporabnosti informacij za namen prometnega planiranja. Načinov določanja položaja GSM mobilnih telefonov je veliko. Razlikujejo se po natančnosti določanja položaja in zahtevnosti vgradnje v arhitekturo GSM omrežja. Skrbnik GSM omrežja je ponudnik storitev mobilne telefonije, ki upravlja in razpolaga z vsemi podatki, ki omogočajo njegovo delovanje. Odgovornost ponudnika storitev je tudi varovanje osebnih podatkov uporabnikov, ki je določeno v zakonu o varovanju osebnih podatkov. Sledenje uporabnikom GSM mobilnih telefonov je torej mogoče z njihovo privolitvijo. Kot dokaz delovanja je bil izveden poizkus z metodo GPS sledenja petim prostovoljcem, ki so en teden zapisovali vsa svoja potovanja. Najbolj značilna so bila opravljena še z metodo celične identifikacije. Za delovanje obeh metod je bila uporabljena dodatna programska oprema, ki je zapisovala poti in ostale podatke v datoteko na mobilnih telefonih prostovoljcev. GPS sledenje je bilo izvedeno z aplikacijo Nokia Sports Tracker. Sledenje s celično identifikacijo je bilo izvedeno z aplikacijo CellPos 1.43. Za prikaz rezultatov je bil uporabljen geografski informacijski program Google Earth. Iz baze podatkov pridobljene z GPS sledenjem so bili določeni povprečni potovalni časi uporabnikov in posledično |
