Representatives of low-mobility groups of the population often have difficulty moving not only on the street, but also in buildings. This is especially true for people who are unable to move without a wheelchair, the visually impaired and the blind.

The navigator application developed by the Indoors Navigation team allows you to build optimal routes, use voice prompts, and help representatives of low-mobility groups quickly find rooms, zones, and passageways specially equipped for them.

Улучшение условий передвижения маломобильных групп населения позволит изменить восприятие слабовидящими и незрячими общественных мест как потенциально опасных, повысить доступность городской инфраструктуры — укрепить имидж города как социально ориентированной среды.

The unique technical and software advantages of the solution are special routes leading without stairs, voice prompts when moving along routes as in the navigator, voice messages informing about surrounding objects, and an audible signal when approaching the desired point both on the phone and from the object.

With Indoors Navigation, the urban environment is more accessible to all categories of citizens.

Navigation in the subway is becoming more convenient with the use of a mobile navigator for passengers, which was tested in 2022 at Tsaritsyno station.

The mobile navigator helps you quickly familiarize yourself with the map and helps you save time at the station, helping to increase the comfort level of passengers.

Indoors Navigation has digitized the entire Tsaritsyno transport hub and made a detailed map of the metro station, MCD, commuter trains, all crossings and public transport stops. As part of the project, more than a hundred navigation sensors were installed at TPU Tsaritsyno.

Using the developed mobile application, the user will be able to quickly navigate the transport hub, understand where it is located and plot a route to the area or object he needs. The navigator will keep it running continuously throughout the entire route.

The app also has a mode for navigating visually impaired and blind passengers, which helps them with voice prompts along the route. They are offered safer routes and the opportunity to order help with a click or a voice command in the application.

Using the API and SDK, the functionality can be quickly integrated into other iOS and Android applications, even by third-party developers, and update management and route editing can be performed online in the system's web dashboard.

Indoors Navigation Platform  —  универсальная система управления потоками посетителей, повышающая комфорт их перемещения.

В течении нескольких месяцев наши сотрудники разработали специальный алгоритм определения положения в помещении на основе угла прибытия радиосигнала — Angle of Arrival (AoA).

In one of the rooms of the building, we installed 4 IN-AR locators, which were connected to one IN-AoA-G gateway with a UTP cable via an Ethernet interface. Two IN-AoA-Beacon-1 BLE 5.1 tags were used as the tracking object.

The experiment was conducted in a room with a rectangular layout and dimensions of 6x8 meters. Each locator was installed at the same distance from each other and the walls of the room (see the picture). The radar antennas were pointed in different directions relative to each other.

We placed several INOA Beacon 1 markers in different places of the room and tracked their movement, constantly evaluating the accuracy of location determination in real time on the INP platform using the software we developed and a new AoA navigation algorithm.

As a result of this experiment, we obtained the accuracy of determining the position in the room using the Angle of Arrival method equal to 1 meter.

Contact us and you will receive a solution based on the latest advances in indoor positioning! We are always happy to cooperate!

Navigation in the premises of Moscow railway stations was implemented by Indoors Navigation using a Geo-information System (GIS) based on a digital twin of the facility and indoor geolocation services — the Indoors Navigation Platform.

GIS Indoors Navigation allows you to determine the location of any objects, for example, such as train stations, which are complexes with large infrastructure for passenger transportation.

It is not easy for a passenger to navigate in places with a large number of crossings and exits, when the route is not regular, and searching through navigation signs alone is not the most convenient.

By implementing navigation in railway station premises for Russian Railways at the end of 2021, in 3 months we digitized 42 stations, making accurate 3D maps with the location of the premises and routes.  We installed 3,000 BLE positional sensors at 9 Moscow railway stations, set up navigation, and integrated them into a specially designed Railway Stations mobile application ( iOS and Android). 

Passengers now receive an accurate map of the train station on their mobile device with the ability to plot a route to the desired point: exit, crossing, stop, while still in the train carriage, and follow it in navigator mode. This helps to reduce the time needed to navigate the passenger and the entire route.

Navigation on the station map.

The indoor positioning system is based on Bluetooth signals, but it also takes into account Wi-Fi and GPS for navigation outside buildings. Indoor navigation is enabled by the SDK built into the mobile application, which is installed on iOS and Android devices.

AR navigation at the train station.

By scanning a special marker in AR mode, the user can move while observing the route through the phone's camera in real space due to 3D graphics.

The augmented reality service allows you not only to show routes, but also to demonstrate creative advertising content in a playful manner with 3D animation.

Navigation for people with limited mobility.

The application has the ability to build special routes for the category of people with limited mobility (MGN) and guide them using voice prompts only along the passages, elevators and ramps designated for them.

Marketing and analytics of movements at the train station.

The station administration receives information about crowded areas and the most congested sections in different time periods.

The owner of the premises can receive additional income through a new channel of geocontext advertising — mailing lists from tenants.

The mobile application directly informs visitors about events, closed platforms and repairs, promotions and discounts in stores by sending targeted PUSH messages based on preference data and location information.

Based on the statistics of visits, the points of attraction of the object are determined, a heat map is built and popular routes are visualized.

The application is integrated with social networks, allows you to quickly communicate with visitors and share your location.

Staff training at the train station.

To optimize work processes, a special mobile application is installed on the phone for employees, a badge or bracelet is issued, and electronic BLE tags are attached to tangible assets.

The station administrator monitors the movement of staff in real time, can control the locations and working hours of employees, and see the movement of material assets inside the building and on the territory.

Indoors Navigation Platform — a universal building management platform that allows you to solve many tasks related to determining the position of users, monitoring operational systems and services, and increasing monetization.
