Track: Location Services and Situational Awareness

  • Solving Today’s Problems with Tomorrow’s Solutions

    The First Responder Incident Commander Dashboard is an intuitive technology platform designed to enhance the management of emergency scenarios. This comprehensive dashboard provides real-time situational awareness and operational coordination, ensuring that incident commanders can make informed decisions swiftly and effectively.


  • AdaptiTrace: 3D Localization for First Responder Safety

    This demo will showcase how AdaptiTrace uses sensor-fusion technology to allow for highly accurate localization of first responders in 3D with one-meter accuracy.


  • Response for FirstNet

    This demonstration will showcase Response for FirstNet®, a low-cost, simple-to-use web and mobile situational awareness platform for day-to-day and emergency operations. In one deployable solution, users can have near real-time mapping, share information, mobilize teams, send emergency notifications, integrate Incident Action Planning (IAP), Incident Command System reporting, and have push-to-talk communication.


  • Reducing RIT Time Through GPS-Denied Location Tracking and Data Sharing

    This demonstration will have two simulated Rapid Intervention Team (RIT) drills – the first without the Ascent indoor location tracking technology and the second with it. The results of the time differences will be compared to see if understanding the location of first responders helps reduce the RIT time.


  • Rapid, Scalable Outdoor and Indoor Machine Learning-Based Mapping of Fire Department Pre-Plans

    The project team will demonstrate the latest imagery and outputs from groundwork done in 2024 in partnership with the Boise Fire Department in Idaho. The GeoCam camera system will be displayed, as well as examples of the different kind of outputs that were created from the system.


  • PulseRescue — The Future of Firefighter Localization for Safety and Coordination

    The nav4you geolocation solution is based on a harmonious fusion of hardware and software, enabling unit managers to track the position of their operatives in real time and in all circumstances. This demonstration is based on the Pulsar tool, a unique hardware localization device worn on the user’s foot. The user’s trajectory and other contextual […]


  • NEVERLOST: Environment for Indoor Localization and Navigation

    This demonstration shows attendees a prototype of wearable technology to localize emergency responders, assets and equipment, and other people (e.g., patients and trapped persons) indoors and in covered outdoor environments where Global Positioning System (GPS) signals are not available. This demonstration will also show a location-based service providing path planning and guidance for emergency responders. […]


  • Lidar Scans for Public Safety

    At this demo table, conference attendees will have the opportunity to use a mobile lidar scanning system to create point clouds of areas within the conference center. Staff from the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s Public Safety Communications Research (PSCR) Division will be on hand to talk about how point clouds are being used […]


  • In-Building 3D Tracking

    Ravenswood was an awardee of the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s Public Safety Communications Research (PSCR) Division’s First Responder Smart Tracking challenge. In this demonstration, attendees will see live indoor tracking displayed on a common operating picture. Wearing a tracking device, attendees can walk around the conference center and see their position updated in […]


  • IamResponding Responder Reply System Integration with RapidSOS and Norfolk Southern

    In this demonstration, attendees will see all that IamResponding has to offer including integration with RapidSOS, Norfolk Southern Digital Alerts, and an upcoming integration with ESO.
