After highlighting some specific aspects regarding RBSs and their characteristics and summarizing the results of a number of studies concerning the possible effects of electromagnetic fields on health, we have taken an area of north-east Rome with a high population and building density as a case study, and we have provided some methodological and applicative exemplifications for different situations and types of antennas. Through specific functionalities and criteria, drawing inspiration from a precautionary principle, these exemplifications show some particular cases in order to support: possible risk factor identification, surveillance and spatial analysis; correlation analysis between potential risk factors and outbreak of diseases and symptoms; measurement campaigns in heavily exposed areas and buildings; education policies and prevention actions. From an operative viewpoint, we have: conducted some field surveys and recorded data and images with specific geotechnological and geomatics instruments; retraced the routes by geobrowsers and basemaps and harmonized and joined up the materials in a GIS environment; used different functions to define, on aero-satellite images, concentric circular buffer zones starting from each RBS, and geographically and geometrically delimited the connected areas subject to high and different exposure levels; produced digital applications and tested prime three-dimensional models, in addition to a video from a bird’s eye view perspective, able to show the buildings in the different buffer zones and which are subject to a hazard hierarchy due to exposure to an RBS. A similar GIS-based model—reproposable with methodological adjustments to other polluting sources—can make it possible to conceive a dynamic and multiscale digital system functional in terms of strategic planning, decision-making and public health promotion in a performant digital health information system.

Positioning in challenging environments using ultra-wideband sensor networks / Zoltan Koppanyi in GPS world, vol 26 n° 3 (March 2015)  

Public [article]  inGPS world > vol 26 n° 3 (March 2015) Titre : Positioning in challenging environments using ultra-wideband sensor networks Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Zoltan Koppanyi, Auteur ; Charles K. Toth, Auteur ; Dorota A. Grejner-Brzezinska, Auteur Année de publication : 2015 Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Navigation et positionnement [Termes IGN] GNSS assisté pour la navigation [Termes IGN] onde radioélectrique [Termes IGN] positionnement en intérieur [Termes IGN] réseau de capteurs Résumé : (auteur) [...] Conventional radio transmissions use a variety of modulation techniques but most involve varying the amplitude, frequency and/or phase of a sinusoidal carrier wave. But in the late 1960s, it was shown that one could generate a signal as a sequence of very short pulses, which results in the signal energy being spread over a large part of the radio spectrum. Initially called pulse radio, the technique has become known as impulse radio ultra-wideband or just ultra-wideband (UWB) for short and by the 1990s a variety of practical transmission and reception technologies had been developed. The use of large transmission bandwidths offers a number of benefits, including accurate ranging and that application in particular is being actively developed for positioning and navigation in environments that are challenging to GNSS such as indoors and built-up areas. In this month’s column, we take a look at the work being carried out in this area by a team of researchers at The Ohio State University.

It presents astrophysics from basic principles without requiring any previous study of astronomy or astrophysics. It serves as a comprehensive introductory text, which takes the student through the field of astrophysics in lecture-sized chapters of basic physical principles applied to the cosmos. This one-semester overview will be enjoyed by undergraduate students with an interest in the physical sciences, such as astronomy, chemistry, engineering or physics, as well as by any curious student interested in learning about our celestial science. The mathematics required for understanding the text is on the level of simple algebra, for that is all that is needed to describe the fundamental principles. The text is of sufficient breadth and depth to prepare the interested student for more advanced specialised courses in the future. Astronomical examples are provided throughout the text, to reinforce the basic concepts and physics, and to demonstrate the use of the relevant formulae. In this way, the student learns to apply the fundamental equations and principles to cosmic objects and situations. Astronomical and physical constants and units as well as the most fundamental equations can be found in the appendix. Essential Astrophysics goes beyond the typical textbook by including references to the seminal papers in the field, with further reference to recent applications, results, or specialised literature.

Indoor positioning technologies / R. Mautz (2012)    

Public Titre : Indoor positioning technologies Type de document : Thèse/HDR Auteurs : R. Mautz, Auteur Editeur : Zurich : Schweizerischen Geodatischen Kommission / Commission Géodésique Suisse Année de publication : 2012 Collection : Geodätisch-Geophysikalische Arbeiten in der Schweiz, ISSN 0257-1722 num. 86 Importance : 122 p. Format : 21 x 30 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-3-908440-31-4 Note générale : Bibliographie Habilitation Thesis Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Navigation et positionnement [Termes IGN] analyse comparative [Termes IGN] caméra vidéo [Termes IGN] couplage GNSS-INS [Termes IGN] GNSS assisté pour la navigation [Termes IGN] navigation inertielle [Termes IGN] onde radioélectrique [Termes IGN] positionnement en intérieur [Termes IGN] précision métrique [Termes IGN] pseudolite [Termes IGN] rayonnement infrarouge [Termes IGN] réseau local sans fil Résumé : (Auteur) In the age has of automation the ability to navigate persons and devices in indoor environments has become increasingly important for a rising number of applications. With the emergence of global satellite positioning systems, the performance of outdoor positioning has become excellent, but many mass market applications require seamless positioning capabilities in all environments. Therefore indoor positioning has become a focus of research and development during the past decade. It has by now become apparent that there is no overall solution based on a single technology, such as that provided outdoors by satellite-based navigation. We are still far away from achieving cheap provision of global indoor positioning with an accuracy of 1 meter. Current systems require dedicated local infrastructure and customized mobile units. As a result, the requirements for every application must be analyzed separately to provide an individually tailored solution. Therefore it is important to assess the performance parameters of all technologies capable of indoor positioning and match them with the user requirements which have to be described precisely for each application. Such descriptions must be based on a market analysis where the requirements parameters need to be carefully weighed against each other. The number of relevant requirements parameters is large (e.g. accuracy, coverage, integrity, availability, update rate, latency, costs, infrastructure, privacy, approval, robustness, intrusiveness etc.). But also the diversity of different technologies is large, making it a complex process to match a suitable technology with an application. At the highest level, all technologies can be divided into categories employing three different physical principles: inertial navigation (accelerometers and gyroscopes maintaining angular momentum), mechanical waves (i.e. audible and ultra-sound) and electromagnetic waves (i.e. using the visible, infrared, microwave and radio spectrum). Systems making use of the radio spectrum include FM radios, radars, cellular networks, DECT phones, WLAN, ZigBee RFID, ultra-wideband, high sensitives GNSS and pseudolite systems. This thesis categorizes all sighted indoor positioning approaches into 13 distinct technologies and describes the measuring principles of each. Individual approaches are characterized and key performance parameters are quantified. For a better overview, these parameters are briefly compared in table form for each technology.
