Performance Evaluation of the UWB-based CDS Indoor Positioning Solution

Ultra-wideband technology has become very popular for accurate indoor positioning due to its resilience to interference with other technologies or resulting from multipath propagation. In this context, the scope of this paper is to evaluate the UWB-based indoor localization kit developed by Control Data Systems for accurate positioning of an operator relative to an industrial equipment. The kit is based on the VN360 UWB Module integrating the Decawave DW1000 IC and consists of 4 UWB anchors with a predetermined relative position and one UWB tag (for the operator). The accuracy of the evaluated solution is performed in terms of positioning error variation relative to the distance between the tag and the system origin.
