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
