Research on Indoor Firefighter Positioning Based on Inertial Navigation
Abstract Because the situation around a fire is complex, such as heavy smoke, loss of electricity, and building collapse, many positioning systems are not able to work properly. Once the firefighters lose their sense of direction, this not only brings great psychological pressure to them but also causes hidden danger. Given that indoor positioning for firefighters is tough and existing locating systems are dependent on external references, inertial navigation is introduced to locate firefighter positioning. Based on analyzing the applicability of the inertial sensors in the fire ground, inertial measurement was designed. The algorithms of position estimation, step detection, and others are applied to complete this inertial system. Planar and three-dimensional scenarios were set to test the effectiveness of this system according to the situation in the fire ground and the gait of firefighters. It is found that the system has good accuracy in different scenarios and can provide planar positioning accurately.
