Indoor Positioning Capabilities of Cognitive Entities
Journal Title: Acta Technica Jaurinensis - Year 2016, Vol 9, Issue 2
Abstract
Indoor Positioning is one of the most significant challenges of the 21st century. Hence, this paper aims to give an overview on indoor navigation solutions and propose a novel methodology which is based on Bluetooth technology. First of all, it presents radio based techniques. Secondly, other techniques based on the use of various sensors and measurements are described. Nowadays, we can state that each technique requires any type of smart device such as smartphone or tablet, whose inertial sensors help in evaluation of pedestrians’ actual position. Moreover, it would be assumed that every person has its own smart device, hence, we would also state that they could be considered as one entity. Therefore, the researches on indoor navigation systems require novel low-cost approaches that involve new generation devices, thus create future networks.

Comparative Evaluation of Sighted and Visually Impaired Subjects using a Mobile Application for Reducing Veering during Blindfolded Walking
Measurements were conducted using a navigational application on an Android Smartphone that provides auditory and haptic feedback based on electromagnetic sensor data (compass) in order to help users walk in a straight li...
Characterisation of Diffuse and Local Necking of Aluminium Alloy Sheets using DIC Technique
This paper introduces a new method for the characterisation of the boundary of diffuse and local necking based on DIC measurements during tensile tests. A series of images illustrate the extension of diffuse necking and...
A Method for the Numerical Modelling of Embedded Rails and Determining Parameters to be Optimized
To carry out FEM modelling two model parameters are needed the elastic (Young) modulus (E) and the Poisson-coefficient (μ). Unfortunately, they are not available in every case, and even if so, they need to be corrected....
Methods of Vector Control for Induction Motors
This paper presents the electrical and mathematical models of the three phase asynchronous motors along with the introduction of the field-oriented control model as well as the vector transformations needed for the intro...
The Humanistic Approach of Adult and Tertiary Education
The environment of the 21st century adult and tertiary education has changed at several places. The obstacles of information flow have disappeared and the educational environment has been virtualized. At the same time, t...
