Cooperative Localization

Funding agency: SSF
Acronym: COOP-LOC (used in acknowledgements and administration)
Funding: 18 MSEK over five years
Time period: 2013-2017
PI's: Fredrik Gustafsson and Erik G Larsson (Communication systems, LiU)

Summary

The projects studies localization issues in sensor networks from an industrial perspective. The underlying idea is that collaboration between different devices and their infrastructure improves performance, compared to what individuals can achieve. Demonstrators include:

  1. Relative navigation of groups of aircraft using radio links (SAAB)
  2. Platooning of trucks using radar and wifi (Scania)
  3. Positioning of cell phones for self optimizing networks (Ericsson)
  4. Localization of personell and equipment in mines (ABB)
  5. Self-calibrating ground sensor networks (FOI)
  6. New approaches for differential satellite navigation (Lantmäteriet)
The projects involve many MSc students and adjunct researchers for the applied research, as well as academic PhD students and postdocs for the basic research.

Strategy

Our strategy is to run a couple of MSc projects on each demonstrator project to learn the problem, get personal relationships between academia and industry, and to get real data and relevant problem formulations for the research.

Public demonstrators

With extra support from SSF, we have deployed a painting application and the Visualization center in Norrköping. It uses a patent pending magnetic tracking algorithm, that came out as an early spin-off from the project. A youtube video demonstrates how it works: Video.
