Localization of emergency first responders using UWB/GNSS with cloud-based augmentation

Abstract: We 1 propose a real-time system for indoor/outdoor localization of first responders in emergency situations based on networking of wearable devices and cloud-based GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) augmentation. We present outdoor tests that validate this concept. With good network geometry, accuracy of the indoor positioning is similar to the accuracy commonly achieved outdoors by GNSS.

“…Usually, when performed manually, the positioning of reference devices is prone to become ill-posed and the performance and reliability of the positioning algorithms are inevitably influenced [56,57]. In our case, GNSS-RTK not only permits a fast and precise deployment of the UWB anchor network [58], but could even extend global positioning into an indoor scenario if applying the corresponding coordinate conversions.…”

“…The average error of the system is reduced from 8.9 m to 3.2 m. However, due to the need to set additional signal base stations, the cost of this fusion method is relatively high. Tadic et al [27] further improved the fusion localization method of GPS and UWB. The experiment results show that the accuracy error can reach 0.34 M while reducing the cost.…”

“…Tadic, S. at el. [28] put forward a localization of emergency technique using UWB/GNSS with cloud-based augmentation. In this research, a measurement-level GNSS/UWB integrated device is used as the reference station, and a low-cost GNSS/UWB device is used as the mobile station.…”
