Early prototype
A TRL is a measure to indicate the matureness of a developing technology. When an innovative idea is discovered it is often not directly suitable for application. Usually such novel idea is subjected to further experimentation, testing and prototyping before it can be implemented. The image below shows how to read TRL’s to categorise the innovative ideas.

Why?
Connected devices can be used for indoor and outdoor tracking of people. Combining this individual location-based data with other datasets generates user feedback on facilities that benefits asset management as well as users.
How?
This research focusses on network-based (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc.) methods to locate people. Applications for this technology and ways to enable real-time and post-processing sense making of data are investigated.
When?
TU Delft campus has been a living lab for the technology, using students’ and staff's Wi-Fi connections to study classroom occupation rates, routings over campus, Wi-Fi capacity, and more.
