Designated Access Control via Pedestrian Dead Reckoning (PDR) based on Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Beacons.****

**NSERC-Engage项目的工业合作伙伴Dormakaba集团设计和制造配备蓝牙低能量(BLE)读卡器的访问控制解决方案(机电和软件系统)。他们支持BLE的解决方案用于在移动应用程序中使用数字密钥而不是使用物理钥匙卡的传统方法，为经过验证的用户提供对指定受限空间的访问(即打开大门)。*此NSERC-Engage项目旨在解决一个具有挑战性且迫在眉睫的问题。具体地说，当两扇门靠近时，现有的基于BLE的解决方案可能无法准确识别预期目标。目前使用的方法要求用户在访问受限空间之前必须始终验证并启用手机上的移动应用程序，这最终是Dormakaba集团采用基于移动应用程序的访问解决方案的障碍。在这个项目中，申请者计划通过dormakaba的应用程序融合来自BLE信标和用户智能手机内部传感器的信息，以解决上述问题。****

**dormakaba Group, the industrial partner of this NSERC-ENGAGE project, designs and manufactures access control solutions (electro-mechanical & software systems) that are equipped with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) readers. Their BLE-enabled solutions are used to provide access (i.e. open doors) to designated restricted spaces to validated users using digital keys within a mobile application instead of the traditional method using physical keycards.****This NSERC-ENGAGE project aims to address a challenging and immediate problem. Specifically, when two doors are located in close vicinity the existing BLE-based solutions can fail to accurately identify the intended target. The currently used approach requires that users must always authenticate and enable the mobile applications on their phones before accessing a restricted space which is ultimately a hurdle in the adoption rate of mobile app-based access solution for the Dormakaba Group. In this project that applicant plans to fuse information from BLE beacons and internal sensors in the user's smartphone through dormakaba's app to resolve the aforementioned problem. ****
