A fundamental goal of indoor localisation technology is to achieve the milestone of combining minimal cost with accuracy sufficient enough for general consumer applications. To achieve this, current indoor positioning systems need either extensive calibration or expensive hardware. Moreover, very few systems built so far have addressed floor determination in multi-story buildings. In this paper, we explain a Wi-fi-based indoor localisation, tracking and navigation system for multi-story buildings called Locus. Locus determines a device’s floor as well as location on that floor using existing knowledge of infrastructure, and without requiring any calibration or proprietary hardware. It is an inexpensive solution with minimum set-up and maintenance expenses, is scalable, readily deployable and robust to environmental changes. Experimental results in three different buildings spanning multiple floors show that it can determine the floor with 95.33% accuracy and the location on the floor with an error of 6.49 m on an average in real-life practical environments. We also demonstrate its utility via two location-based applications for indoor navigation and tracking in emergency scenarios. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
