Altitude Determination of a Pedestrian in a Multistorey Building
نویسنده
چکیده
A challenging task in using pedestrian navigation and guidance services indoors is to determine the correct floor of a user in a multi-storey building because most indoor location techniques only provide 2-D information. In this case it can be recommended to augment the position determination system with a barometric pressure sensor for direct observation of height differences. In the research project NAVIO (Pedestrian Navigation Systems in Combined Indoor/Outdoor Environments) tests with different sensors have been performed and their results are presented. The tests show that it is possible to determine the correct floor of a user using a barometric pressure sensor as the standard deviation of the estimation of the height differences is better than ± 1 m.

Multistorey buildings typically include stratified legal interests which provide entitlements to a community of owners to lawfully possess private properties and use communal and public properties. The spatial arrangements of these legal interests are often defined by multiplexing cognitively outlined spaces and physical elements of a building. In order to support 3D digital management and comm...
