The Pythagorean theorem is used from the latitude, longitude, and altitude of. Latitude
There are units such as degrees, minutes and seconds in the units of degrees and longitude,
Assuming that the distance of the outer circumference of the earth is 40,000 km
Then, the distance indicating 1 second becomes about 31 meters. There
Then, it demonstrates with reference to FIG. Longitude is on the x-axis and latitude is on the y-axis
And the position of the vehicle is (x 1, Y1), The position of the other car
(X2, Y2). Next, the difference in longitude between the cars
| X1-X2| And the difference in latitude | y1-Y2The value shown from |
Converted to the difference of each distance, referring to
・ Pythagorean distance is determined from the distance between cars based on the difference in longitude.
Calculate using reason. However, this distance is zero meters above sea level
Since it is at the altitude of
Taking into consideration, the one obtained using the Pythagorean theorem is
It is the true distance between cars.
