Efficiency evaluation for different kind of localization methods for android devices

The new technological approaches in the last several years bring new possibilities for many different areas, i.e. localisation. The localisation was many years used only for outdoor purposes such as navigation. However, we start to use it also for optimisation methods, staff efficiency evaluation, industrial management and many other areas. Therefore, the indoor localisation starts to take a significant part in these areas. This paper provides evaluation measurements of different localisation techniques for outdoor as well as for indoor (Wi-Fi, cellular and GPS). We use the standard android device (Smartphone) for evaluating these techniques in accuracy, speed and others. This allows a basic evaluation of these methods, which might be used for future development of optimal indoor and outdoor localisation methods. We show that more complex applications demand much more complex system for localisation as i.e. combination of above-mentioned techniques.
