MeshTrack Development of a hybrid RTT-/BLE positioning system for efficient asset tracking via mesh-based Beaconing The aim of this project is the development of a cost-efficient and easily deployable indoor positioning system. In contrast to existing approaches a hybrid approach is pursued: Established protocols like Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and WiFi RTT (round-trip-time) are combined into a mobile hybrid device. A key factor for deploying BLE-based indoor localization inside shop floors, is the utilization of a mesh network, whereby the BLE-Beacons are also connected to each other. This way the range of the BLE signal can be significantly improved, opening the possibility to cover large areas present in shop floors. Furthermore the project aims to implement real-time approaches for data retention on edge-computing platforms with intuitive user interfaces for industrial use. Contact persons: K. Klein   B.
