Introduction

3. 1 Introduction
Project partners

4. 1 Introduction
•
Motivation & Problem
GPS is reliable for outdoor positioning
• GPS has limitations indoors and in urban
environments, caused by the attenuation of
signals

5. 1 Introduction
Motivation & Problem
Some application domains require a coverage
of different environments

6. 1 Introduction
Motivation & Problem
An approach is required, that combines
different positinioning techniques besides
satellite based navigation systems.
