Situation Awareness , Location Services and Technologies, Mobility Modeling, Wireless and Ad-hoc Networks

Recognizing the real-world phenomena in urban space is significant to support our urban life. This is called situation-awareness, and I've mainly been working on this issue. For example, I focus on developing accurate indoor positioning systems and algorithms, social event navigation systems, human tracking, sensing and modeling, and ICT-supported systems for first-responders. Some of them are examined in field experiments -- for example, currently our research group has developed a human tracking and navigation system, which uses laser-rangefinders, multiple smartphones and some other environmental sensors and is deployed in a large commercial complex in front of Osaka station. I've also been working on designing mutihop wireless and mobile networks such as VANETs and WSNs and ITS-related systems and algorithms. Achieving both energy-saving and comfortable human life is also my important research objective, and am doing environmental sensing and human tracking for smart buildings and smart home.
