A Review of Indoor Localization Use Cases in the Built Environment

2016-09-03
Gaining information about the location of a person or an object has become an important issue in the field of built environment as well as industries such as logistics, transportation, manufacturing and healthcare. Location-based services such as on-road navigation, transportation tracking and route monitoring are the motives for a need towards outdoor location detection. In indoor built environments, the importance of localization arises from its value for construction industry in a various range of applications. Detection of building occupancy for automation systems, tracking personnel and equipment for effective management of facilities, providing assets location in construction sites and supporting building emergency response operations are all within the scope of indoor localization. This research aims to validate the need for indoor localization in buildings and to provide a review of indoor localization use cases in the built environment together with the currently available technologies.

The Quest for Integrated Design System: A Brief Survey of Past and Current Efforts
İlal, Mustafa Emre (Middle East Technical University, Faculty of Architecture, 2007-6-01)
Improving the overall quality of buildings is the main motivation behind the development of computer aided technologies in the ArchitectureEngineering- Construction (AEC) industry. A seamless design and evaluation environment has been envisioned by researchers since the early days of computational design but the integrated design system has been elusive for the last 30 years. With the recent focus on environmental sustainability, topics in building performance are gaining importance at many educational ins...
A lessons learned database structure for construction companies
Eken, Görkem; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat (2015-06-24)
Knowledge management in project based industries is critical as in the case of construction industry. Besides being a project based industry, factors specific to construction projects also make it harder to capture knowledge. Construction projects are held in dispersed locations, by different parties involved, with variable objectives; all of which make capturing the information more difficult and knowledge management process more complex. This study presents a database structure and an information system t...
Evaluation of rail freight transportation in Turkey prior to deregulation
Cebeci, Alper; Tüydeş Yaman, Hediye; Department of Civil Engineering (2019-3-16)
Rail freight is a major component of industrial development in a country, as it provides very cheap transportation opportunities for raw materials, such as coal, ores, etc. However, due to its stop-to-stop nature, it always requires a first- and last-mile connection with another mode, thus, has relatively longer total travel times. As a results, it can hardly earn the revenues necessary for its operations and has been heavily subsized by govermnets in many coun...
A spare parts inventory optimization study in mining
Şenses, Sena; Gölbaşı, Onur; Bakal, İsmail Serdar (2022-1-01)
Spare parts inventory management is of vital importance in maintaining high equipment availability at minimum cost, especially for industries utilizing fully mechanized systems and aiming mass and continuous production such as mining. In this paper, it is intended to solve the spare parts inventory problem of a large-scale mining company operating in Turkey, by proposing a mathematical model to optimize the spare parts provisioning strategy in such a way that the total inventory related cost is minimized. B...
Capturing knowledge in construction projects: Knowledge platform for contractors
Kivrak, Serkan; Arslan, Gokhan; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2008-04-01)
Managing knowledge effectively is critical to the survival and advance of a company, especially in project-based industries such as construction. However, capturing knowledge in construction projects is a tedious task, as knowledge is usually experience based, tacit, and hard to pass on to others. In this study, a survey was carried out among eight leading Turkish construction contractors that are operating within the international construction market. The specific objectives of this survey are to find out ...
