Maija Mäkelä: New cooperative positioning methods enable localization in the absence of satellite signals

Satellite-based positioning cannot be taken for granted anymore – how to locate rescuers when signals vanish? M.Sc. (Tech.) Maija Mäkelä demonstrates in her dissertation novel cooperative positioning methods, that combine sensor information and distance measurements. This results in a satellite-independent positioning solution, which enables tracking of teams of pedestrians also under challenging conditions.
