Personal protective equipment with movement-based navigation

Abstract

A system includes personal protective equipment (PPE) configured to be worn by an agent. The PPE includes a sensor assembly configured to generate sensor data including one or more of motion data, heading data, and inertial data. The system also includes at least one computing device configured to receive the sensor data from the sensor assembly. The at least one computing device is also configured to generate pose data of the agent based on the sensor data in response to a series of movements by the agent away from an arrival point. The pose data includes an agent location, an agent heading, and a movement activity type for each pose in a series of poses. The at least one computing device is further configured to generate a navigation path based on the pose data.
