Poster: Infrastructure Independent Indoor Localization for Post-Disaster Rescue Mission

Abstract

The post-disaster rescue work demands a real-time localization of the trapped workers in factories and industries for rapid evacuation. This real-time localization helps first-responders in targeting survivors by escalating post-disaster rescue work. However, existing literature is yet to address indoor localization in disaster affected settings. In this study, we address this issue and perform a testbed experiment. Our preliminary experimental results suggest that our infrastructure independent indoor localization achieves localizing error as low as 4m in indoor environment using Wi-Fi carried by first-responders.
