Chapter 9 in Geospatial Information Technology for Emergency Response

The chapter explores the different types of indoor, urban, and seamless indoor–
outdoor location-aware applications, their requirements in terms of the infrastructure needed to
support them, and the current limitations. Also the design and implementation of several positioning systems and real world applications are described.
