Innovative GPS Data Anomaly Detection Algorithm inspired by QRS Complex Detection Algorithms in ECG Signals
Many companies own a significant number of vehicles. To ensure the undisturbed company workflow, all vehicles have to be tracked. The standard way of vehicle tracking is via a GPS device. Sometimes, GPS devices are sending fallacious data to the server. That data can cause significant errors in daily reports or in the vehicle route preview. This paper describes an efficient technique for finding different types of anomalies in GPS data. The paper describes a connection between finding a QRS complex in ECG signal and anomalies in GPS data. The algorithm is implemented and used as a part of the GPS tracking system that is used by distribution companies in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
