Position Location Project
The aim of the wireless localisation project is to develop systems for accuracy tracking of people and assets in challenging radio propagation environments.
The global positioning system (GPS) is widely used for navigation, however for some applications it has adequate accuracy and update rate, and it is usually not available at all within buildings and underground. The Wireless Ad-hoc System for Positioning (WASP) has been developed to work with severe multipath interference and to operate in indoor environments with propagation through multiple walls. The system is suitable for rapid deployment, not requiring any survey in the environment nor requiring cabling between infrastructure nodes. This technology is being trialled in a number of applications including sports training, surface and underground mine
operations, and public safety agencies.
