Abstract
The aim of this work is to provide a review of the main indoor positioning methodologies, in order to evidence their strengths and weaknesses, and explore the potential of the integration in an Unmanned Ground Vehicle built for tunnel monitoring purposes. A robotic platform, named Bulldog, has been designed and assembled by Sipal S.p.a., with the support of the research group Applied Geomatic laboratory (AGlab) of the Politecnico di Bari, in the definition of the data processing pipeline. Preliminary results show that the integration of indoor positioning techniques in the Bulldog platform represents an important advance for accurate monitoring and analysis of a tunnel during the construction stage, allowing a fast and reliable survey of the indoor environment and requiring, at this prototypal stage of development, only a remote supervision by the operator. Expected improvements will allow to carry out tunnel monitoring activities in a fully autonomous mode, bringing benefit for the safety of people involved in the construction works and the accuracy of the acquired dataset.
