Abstract:
In these days, positioning system of personal or object is useful in various applications,
such as car navigator, personal tracking, and object tracking system. Nowadays, they have been
developed by combine the positioning system with mobile communication equipment such as
pocket computer or mobile phone for connecting to the internet. Until now, the most popular
positioning system is the Global Positioning System (GPS) that required the signals from at lease
3 satellite for location calculation. However, the GPS system is not suitable for using in buildings
or the locations that obscure the signals from satellites. Therefore, other existing methods have
been proposed for location positioning using signals from other mobile device. This research
present a study and performance evaluation of the positioning method using mobile phone
without GPS equipment using Support vector Machine algorithm which must rely on data from
one base station where mobile phone is connected. The research conducts three types of
experiments such as that in Bangkok area on the cycle road, in high building, and on roads all
over Bangkok areas. From the experiment results, the accuracy of proposed positioning system is
on the average of 50-350 m at the 80-th percentile
