In emergency situations such as fires in homes and offices, it is often the case where members of a response team (eg. firefighters) are not able to locate each other due to fire and smoke. It is desirable to have a system which is able to locate all personnel such that a team leader can monitor their location and to enable the firefighters themselves to know their proximity to other firefighters...
Localization in previously unknown and GPS-denied areas is challenging, especially, when no infrastructure can be assumed. In this paper, we present a hybrid person localization approach for ad-hoc scenarios. Example applications are search and rescue operations, but also on construction sites or during maintenance tasks of large industrial plants. The outlined scheme is based on received signal strength...
It has always been a technical challenge for operations service team to expand wireless network reception inside reactor buildings (RB) and their service wings (SW). This is driven by the volume of metal equipment inside the Reactor Buildings (RB) that blocks and somehow shields the signal throughout the link. In this study, to improve wireless reception inside the Reactor Building (RB), an experimental...
Localisation and tracking of nodes in wireless sensor networks is valuable in many applications, and is the primary purpose of the network in applications such as for monitoring emergency service personnel and athletes for performance monitoring. Performing high accuracy tracking using low-cost hardware in difficult radio propagation environments is extremely challenging, and the CSIRSO WASP system...
