Talk Abstract:
I will in this talk present the Tactical Locator (TOR) system developed at KTH, Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden, for cooperative positioning of first responders inside buildings. By equipping the first-responders with foot-mounted inertial navigation systems and ultra-wide-band radio ranging devices, the TOR system can, without preinstalled positioning infrastructure, position a group of first responders with meter level accuracy for operations lasting up to 30 minutes. To ensure that the system is scalable and robust, the information within the TOR system is processed in a hierarchical and distributed way. Video recordings from when the system was test by fire-fighters in an old nuclear reactor will be shown.
