Table 12 Future trends of PLAN sensors

From: Indoor navigation: state of the art and future trends

Sensor

Future trend

HD map

Reduced maintenance cost (e.g., through crowdsourcing)

Improved update frequency

LiDAR

Lower cost and smaller size

Longer range

Camera

Improved physical performance (e.g., self-cleaning, improved dynamic range, stronger low-light sensitivity, and stronger near-infrared sensitivity)

RADAR

Reduced cost

Improved measurement density

WiFi/BLE

Longer range, lower power consumption

New range and direction measurements

5G

Denser and more miniaturized base station

Multipath-assisted localization; cooperative localization

New range and direction measurements

LPWAN

Higher base station density

New range and direction measurements

INS

Lower sensor errors

GNSS

Multi-frequency and multi-system

Smaller size and power consumption

UWB/Ultrasonic

Reduced cost

Longer range of low-cost systems
