Positioning and Localization in the Internet of Things

Dear Colleagues,

Over the last few years, the problem of indoor location and positioning has been a subject of intense study and research. The objective is to achieve the implementation and applicability obtained by outdoor positioning and navigation systems in indoor environments.

This Special Issue will address contributions to improve, correct and/or assist the development and advancement of indoor positioning systems, as well as new implementations and positioning system strategies for any of the existing technologies. It also covers the different applications of indoor positioning systems themselves, such as pedestrian tracking; location-based services in public and commercial centers; assistance services in daily activities; ambient assistant living; location and tracking of users in geriatric and hospital centers; location and tracking of emergency intervention agents (e.g., police/firefighters); location and guidance of autonomous vehicles in industrial environments and automated car parks; tracking of high value goods during storage; and extra information for users via augmented reality, Internet of Things (IoT), etc.
