OpenHPS is an open source hybrid positioning system to help developers fuse various positioning technologies and algorithms. The system offers a modular data processing framework with each modules ranging from computer vision to common algorithms such as fingerprinting or data persistence of sampled data.
The positioning system ontology is a vocabulary for describing positioning systems and the techniques these systems use to determine a position. With POSO we aim to provide semantic meaning on how a positioning system is deployed and how results are calculated.
SemBeacon is an ongoing project for the development of a semantic Bluetooth Low Energy beacon specification that helps to describe the beacon itself, its deployment and the positioning system used within.
EhBRooster.be was a project aimed at improving the usability of timetables for Erasmushogeschool Brussel, gaining significant interest from students and staff. Developed in Java and PHP, the website influenced the adoption of a new timetable system before its discontinuation in 2018.
