在过去的十年中，由于产品与市场的契合度不佳，针对紧急救援人员的室内定位技术商业化进行了多次尝试，但均未成功。本文详细介绍了 NSF 创新军团 (I-Corps) 735 团队（可现场部署室内定位技术的客户发现）的发现和结论，该团队是 2016 年春季 DC 地区团队的一部分。作为 I-Corps 课程的一部分，该团队采访了 100 多名相关利益相关者，以更好地了解室内定位技术成功商业化所面临的挑战。在整个采访过程中，很明显，当前商业和研究环境中可用的解决方案并不能满足在具有挑战性的室内环境中有效响应所需的所有要求。此外，很明显，之前展示的本地化能力足以满足应急响应场景所需的技术要求，但之前尚未统一为可以成功推向市场的整体系统。
Over the last decade, there have been several unsuccessful attempts to commercialize indoor localization technology for emergency responders mainly due to a poor product-market fit. This paper describes in detail the findings and conclusions of NSF Innovation Corps (I-Corps) Team 735 (Customer Discovery for Field-Deployable Indoor Localization Technology), part of the Spring 2016 DC-area cohort. As part of the I-Corps curriculum, the team interviewed over 100 relevant stakeholders to better understand the challenges facing the successful commercialization of indoor localization technologies. Throughout the course of these interviews, it became evident that the current solutions available commercially and in research environments did not meet all the requirements needed for effective response in challenging indoor environments. In addition, it is clear that previously demonstrated localization capabilities are sufficient to meet the technical requirements demanded by emergency response scenarios, but have previously not been unified in a holistic system that can be successfully introduced to the market.
