 Abstract

The problems investigated in this report were those encountered by the TU Delft Emergency Response Organisation on the TU Delft campus, and is seen as representative for other problem locations. There are indications that the current systems, tools and equipment in use by ERTs function sub-optimally. A qualitative analysis – used to uncover, structure and rank the problems present in this organization – concluded that problems related to wayfinding were the most urgent ones. These kinds of problems were explored in more detail. The proposed solution involves enabling indoor positioning and navigation in GPS-deprived environments, by means of wireless network technology. A prototype of the proposed system was built – and tested – with good resolve.
