Project description
Innovative tracking system for GPS-denied environments
The global indoor tracking market is growing and increasingly relying on advanced systems, devices and computer software to locate people or objects inside buildings. However, in the market, there is evidence of the lack of a location system in GPS-denied environments for time/risk-critical operations. The EU-funded PROTECT project introduces an autonomous, infrastructure-free and wearable tracking system for GPS-denied environments for safety, security and protection. The project has three guidelines: value proposition, affordability and profitability. PROTECT will provide location accuracy for real-time and time-critical operations as well as post-survey analysis and will reduce difficulties for operations in real scenarios. The project will make the system cost-affordable, with a business plan ranging from software as a service to licensing, and profitable.
