Positioning and navigation systems play an important role in our daily life, but now most of positioning systems were confined in outdoor environments, most of which were used on transportation. Therefore, the goal of this thesis is to develop a Pedestrian Dead Reckoning System (PDRS), which can not only be used to solve a problem of GPS out-of-lock, but also be used in the field of indoor positioning. In dangerous environments, such as the scene of a fire, when the rescue personnel have an accident on himself or discover a wounded who need to be salvaged, if the rescue personnel who has configured the PDRS, then the other rescue personnel can assist them immediately.
In the part of hardware system, we used embedded system to be the primary part of the entire system, the embedded system has the characters of low power consumption and portability. Therefore, we chose the TI OMAP35x EVM platform to be our primary system of PDRS. In order to get the information of pedestrian, we also need the Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and Compass to provide the information of acceleration and heading for PDRS. To achieve the function of remote monitoring, we used wireless transmission module to send data of sensors to OMAP35x EVM. Finally, the most important function that we must accomplish in this thesis is to use OMAP35x EVM to build a real-time PDRS.
In the part of software system, we use Linux OS and Qt SDK to build the software system of PDRS in this thesis.
In the part of algorithm, we use step detection, step length estimation and dead reckoning method to construct the algorithm of PDRS in this thesis.
