Abstract (croatian)
Globalni položajni sustav (engl. Global Positioning System - GPS) standardno je sredstvo za određivanje f iksne točke mjerenja na vanjskim mjestima događaja na kojima nema fiksnih objekata i prepoznatljivih točaka. Ipak, GPS je osjetljiv na brojne pogreške koje se pojavljuju u različitim intenzitetima i u različitim vremenskim intervalima te nepovoljno utječu na točnost određivanja položaja. U izloženome slučaju, ispitana je pogreška određivanja položaja s pomoću jednoga GPS uređaja, kao i učinkovitost smanjenja pogreške s pomoću uprosječivanja većega broja koordinata prikupljenih na istoj točki u širemu vremenskom intervalu. Rezultati su pokazali znatne varijacije između stvarnoga položaja i položaja određenoga GPS-om tijekom razmatranoga vremena; što upućuje na to da jednostruko očitavanje GPS položaja nije prikladno za određivanje fiksne točke mjerenja u forenzičnome kontekstu. Međutim, kada se uprosječi određeni broj točaka prikupljenih na istome položaju – periodička kolebanja pogreške GPS-a manje utječu na točnost i pogreška linearno opada. Kako bi se pogreška utvrđivanja položaja svela na najmanju moguću mjeru, predlaže se razvijanje modela za primjenu GPS-a kojim bi se razmotrila prihvatljiva razina pogreške, dostupna oprema i posebnosti različitih mjesta događaja te potanko odredio način i tijek smanjenja pogreške metodom uprosječivanja.
Abstract (english)
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a standard tool for establishing a datum point at the outdoor crime scenes that lack fixed objects or landmarks. However, GPS is prone to multiple errors that occur with a different intensity in different time intervals and degrade the accuracy of the positioning. In the present simulated case, we have examined the error of establishing a position using a single hand-held GPS unit, as well as the efficiency of reducing the error by averaging multiple coordinates collected at the same spot through the time. The results have shown great variations between the actual position and position obtained by GPS through collection time, demonstrating that a single GPS reading is not a reliable tool for establishing an accurate datum point in a forensic context. However, when a sufficient number of fixes is averaged, periodical variations of GPS error less affect accuracy, and error linearly decreases. To minimize the error of positioning in forensic cases, we suggest developing a model for GPS application that considers the acceptable degree of error, available equipment, the specificity of the crime scene location and defining a detailed workflow for reducing the error with the averaging method.
