In this paper
we propose a hardware design for an effective real time indoor localization system for staff working in high-risk manufacturing areas. Because of the special requirements of our system
the chirp spread spectrum (CSS) is the most suitable indoor localization technology. The details of the new localization system are described. The system involves several anchors
tags
and a gateway
all of which use the nanoLOC TRX transceiver (NA5TR1) RF chip (Nanotron Co.
Germany)
which is based on the CSS technology. To validate the effectiveness of our system
both ranging and localization tests were carried out. The difference between the ranging accuracy indoors and outdoors was small. The localization system can position indoor mobile staff precisely
enabling the establishment of an emergency rescue mechanism.
