Overview:
When moving through a building structure under impaired visibility, firefighters use ropes to mark the path they have taken. This helps them in finding their way back out and helps other teams to take the same path. These ropes are called lifelines. This paper describes a concept called LifeNet for using an ad-hoc sensor network providing relative positioning and a wearable system to support firefighters at indoor-navigation under impaired visibility. They describe the concept and a first implementation.
