Tiivistelmä
The need for indoor positioning is emerging but the expected breakthrough has not happened so far. The lack of accuracy, cost effectiveness and suitability for all kinds of use cases have been the main problems with current solutions. Even though there are such amazing indoor positioning systems, none of them has stood out like GPS in outdoor environments. This document opens up a little bit the world of indoor navigation and points out the current issues of the most used indoor positioning systems.
The objective of this Bachelor’s thesis was to find out the most proper design for a future sport tracking indoor positioning system. The document covers well considered technologies, methods and algorithms used in current indoor positioning systems. This paper also provides an experimental evaluation of an ultra-wide-band-based indoor positioning system. The evaluation was done for Decawave’s EVK1000 evaluation boards. During the work the most suitable technology, methods and algorithms for sport tracking system were selected and the future indoor positioning system was designed. This Bachelor’s thesis can be used as a base-line of the implementation of the ultra-wideband-based indoor positioning system.
