Abstract

The precise, reliable and preferably ubiquitous positioning of mobile users is a substantial precondition for the provision of location and situation based information by Location Based Services. Within these applications, determining the location of pedestrians in ‘passive environment’ represents a special challenge. In this paper a new knowledge-based approach for the improvement of position quality is presented.
