Congestion avoidance in emergencies is one of many overlooked localization issues. During an emergency (such as a fire), it is difficult for rescuers to determine the best exit route when inside a building. Any time delay during decision making can risk loss of life. Therefore, an efficient Emergency Rescue Localization (ERL) system is essential to assist rescuers to identify the best route for reaching the outside when inside a building. Thus, we propose a new ERL based on an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU). In the proposed ERL, an IMU is used to retrieve location information from inside the building. To conclude, we illustrate out proposed solution for indoor environmental set-up.
