In-cabin localization solution for optimizing manufacturing an d maintenance proces ses for civil aircrafts

This indoor localization solution enables optimization of manufacturing and maintenance processes of civil aircrafts. The use cases include localization of fixed entities like life vests, passenger service units, and seats and mobile entities like flight attendance panels and devices of maintenance workers. Following these use cases, the solution approach features the combination of fingerprinting approaches using Support Vector Machines and distance-based approaches like Trilateration and Weighted Centroid. The proposal has been intensively studied in an Airbus A340 cabin mock-up model by measurement campaigns with a real system deployment.
