In safety-critical applications, including firefighter and law enforcement operations, infrastructure-free localization systems are typically required. These systems must provide accurate localization in all scenarios. Seamless indoor and outdoor localization and navigation, including in dense urban environments, are needed. Multi-sensor fusion algorithms constitute an integral part in all state-of-the-art indoor positioning systems. GNSS-receivers typically provide poor estimates of their own position uncertainty in dense urban and indoor environments, where significant position errors can be expected, which makes the design of a robust sensor fusion algorithm a challenge. Sensor fusion strategies for integration of a GNSS-receiver with footmounted inertial navigation systems (INS) are described and evaluated in this work. For a loosely coupled integration strategy, we suggest to use a cut-off criteria that governs when to discard the GNSS-positions and demonstrate that it can improve the position and heading accuracy in outdoor/indoor transition regions. Similarly, for a tightly coupled integration strategy, we suggest an approach with heavy-tailed measurement noise and demonstrate its capability to suppress inconsistent data and improve performance in the same regions.

“…These deployments can be used for unobtrusive monitoring purposes such as devicefree localization (DFL) [1] and respiration rate monitoring [2]. The technology enables new applications in for example ambient assisted living [3], residential monitoring [4], security and emergency surveillance [5] since it does not require the object to cooperate with the system by carrying a tag. It also is an alternative to traditional technologies used for roadside surveillance [6] and forest monitoring [7].…”

Received signal strength based radio tomographic imaging is a popular device-free indoor localization method which reconstructs the spatial loss field of the environment using measurements from a dense wireless network. Existing methods solve an associated inverse problem using algebraic or compressed sensing reconstruction algorithms. We propose an alternative imaging method that reconstructs spatial field of occupancy using a back-projection based reconstruction algorithm. The introduced system has the following advantages over the other imaging based methods: i.) significantly lower computational complexity such that no floating point multiplication is required; ii.) each link's measured data is compressed to a single bit, providing improved scalability; iii.) physically significant and repeatable parameters. The proposed method is validated using measurement data. Results show that the proposed method achieves the above advantages without loss of accuracy compared to the other available methods.

“…A COP often represents geographic information as typical applications are tied to a possible large geographic area (location awareness) [114]. In this line, COP is considered as a geographical representation (geo-COP) combined with a checklist that delineates the evolution of an emergency along with the characteristics and progress of the emergency response operations.…”

“…In this line, COP is considered as a geographical representation (geo-COP) combined with a checklist that delineates the evolution of an emergency along with the characteristics and progress of the emergency response operations. The information tailored in terms of content and detail is merged into a common frame of reference and visualized on a screen, supporting the comprehension by the response organizations of the current view of the situation [114].…”

Article HistoryEfficient emergency response needs a multi-disciplinary approach which in turn calls for a high level of collaboration and coordination among the involved safety agencies. Furthermore, in order to cope with the complexity, uncertainty and dynamic nature of an emergency, flexible information and communication systems are required. Based on experiences from the military domain, strategic concepts which can improve information sharing and collaboration can be derived and adapted towards enhancing emergency response information systems and operational effectiveness. This study purports to review the state of the art in this field providing recommendations for emergency response policy makers, professionals and researchers.Contribution/Originality: The paper contributes in the existing literature by reviewing the state-of-the-art in the field of emergency response and provides recommendations for policy makers, professionals and researchers towards enhancing emergency response information systems and operational effectiveness.
