This invention relates to an on-board GPS (Global Positioning System) sensor system for deriving parameter values that are useful during the operation of moving vehicles, especially automotive vehicles travelling along roads. Novel configurations of GPS sensors can present information for processing by on- board processors that provides a solution for more precise and cost-effective on-board measurement of parameters related to vehicle dynamics, especially for mass-produced automotive vehicles. The invention offers the potential for more widespread usage of warning and/or controls systems for which such information is a useful input.
