The iSite project aims to develop interactive and intelligent floor plans, called iBObs (intelligent Building Objects), which can be integrated with various applications and provide information about building features, safety equipment, and occupant locations. These smart pre-plans are built using open standards and can be easily shared among different agencies.
 | As a demonstration for the CTIL’s FRST Challenge, the iSite team overlaid floor plans of multiple buildings at Indiana University onto Google Maps, allowing users to zoom in and out between the campus level and specific building floors. This proof-of-concept implementation showcased the ability to interact with floor plan data on a familiar mapping interface. |
 | The IU RedLab at Indiana University administered the First Responder Smart Tracking (FRST) Challenge, a prize competition focused on indoor location tracking of first responders. The judging platform for this challenge includes 2D and 3D maps of the testing facilities, leveraging the mapping technologies developed by the iSite project.

Judging Platform
The Indiana University team successfully completed all five phases of the First Responder Smart Tracking (FRST) Challenge, focusing on indoor location tracking for first responders. The team collaborated closely with San Francisco Communications to develop and implement innovative technology, processes, and procedures over the past decade. Throughout the competition, competitor prototypes were rigorously tested at an urban training center using a judging platform featuring comprehensive 2D and 3D maps of the testing facilities. In addition to signal analysis, the iSite team has also created detailed floor plans that include monument points used for tracking competitors. These plans feature positions, GPS locations of points, and provide a comprehensive view of all building floors.
