2. Case Study
Indoor
Positioning for
the Public
Service Sector

3. 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

4. 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

5. 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

coordination

7. Results and Next Steps
! Benefits and feedback for the prototype:
! Accurate localization of call source
! Quick accident localization
! Additional benefits such as seamless localization sharing among
colleagues
! Next steps:
Deeper integration with
FREQUENTIS call
tracking solution
Intergration in 9-1-1
