Abstract

The localization of first responders during a crisis is important to assess their safety, context and activity. The position of first responders having a mobile device can be assessed outdoors using GPS. Usually indoor localization systems require special hardware, advanced training and static environments. Nowadays a lot of public domain buildings have a Wi-Fi network and surveillance camera system installed. In this paper we research the possibility to use GSM and Wi-Fi to localize and track mobile devices of first responders inside buildings. Existing camera surveillance systems will be used to reduce the training phase and to design a dynamic system. The design of the system will be presented and preliminary test results.
