About
Mohammed Khider’s research centers on pedestrian navigation, focusing on how people move through complex indoor and outdoor environments. His major contributions lie in developing probabilistic movement models and inertial-based positioning systems that enable accurate localization without relying on GPS. His most cited work, “A Novel Three Dimensional Movement Model for Pedestrian Navigation” (2012, 15 citations), introduces a 3D-MM that probabilistically represents pedestrian motion in challenging settings, improving navigation reliability. Another key paper, “Inertial Systems Based Joint Mapping and Positioning for Pedestrian Navigation” (2009, 14 citations), pioneers Foot-SLAM—a technique using shoe-mounted inertial sensors to measure steps and simultaneously map environments, akin to SLAM in robotics. Khider also advanced the use of maps and floor plans to enhance movement models (2009, 8 citations), supporting applications from infrastructure design to robot-human interaction. His work bridges theoretical modeling and practical navigation, with impact demonstrated across civil engineering, robotics, and emergency planning. By tackling the fundamental challenge of tracking pedestrians in GPS-denied spaces, Khider has laid groundwork for more resilient and context-aware navigation systems.
