Multi-Sensor Accurate Forklift Location and Tracking Simulation in Industrial Indoor Environments

Valentín Barral, Pedro Suárez-Casal, Carlos J. Escudero and José A. García-Naya - Part of the Special Issue "Indoor Positioning Techniques"

This paper describes a real industrial problem (location and tracking of forklift trucks) that requires precise internal positioning and presents a study on the feasibility of meeting this challenge using UWB technology. To this end, a simulator of this technology was created based on UWB measurements from a set of real sensors.

Using a local positioning system to track 2D motion

Paul R. DeStefano, Cora Siebert, and Ralf Widenhorn at the Department of Applied Physics of the Portland State University in Oregon, United States.

Tracking the motion of an object in 2D as a demonstration in a physics classroom or as a laboratory activity is difficult to accomplish in real-time with traditional equipment used by educators. A local positioning system (LPS), like the Pozyx Creator series LPS, has a potentially wide range of educational applications for introductory physics courses.
