Case Study
Indoor Positioning for the Public Service Sector
About indoo.rs
! Founded in 2010 in Austria, today indoo.rs is one of the leading providers of indoor positioning and navigation technology
! Innovative technology providing real-time, highly accurate indoor
location based on a combination of techniques such as:
! WiFi fingerprinting
! Bluetooth Low Energy
! Sensor-fusion
Situation
! In the dynamic and fast world, public safety is lacking behind in making the most out of data
! Smartphone ubiquity, increasing connectivity and innovative technology are making data accessible and ready to analyze and use
! Location-based services are increasingly attractive in the public sector
! Traditional GPS positioning doesn’t work indoors
! Indoors localization is a more complicated to get but equally important data
Problem
! Accident localization might be difficult and consuming precious time sometimes
! Speed and accuracy is of crucial importance in the safety context
! Accurate location indication is susceptible to faults because of factors such as:
! Inability to localize people correctly: disabled people, kids
! The stress factor
! Misunderstanding due to miscommunication
An application with call tracking function that automatically sends information about the real-time
position (incl. building, floor, room) of the person calling
