Abstract
Indoor localization system is one of the solutions that can provide a better care giving service to the people in a healthcare facility. The main function of an indoor localization system is to get the real-time location of a target and to guide a person along a certain direction. Despite the importance of this system, there is no existing product that is fully suitable for the healthcare industry. All the existing products have their own disadvantages. To overcome this problem, a new approach is needed. This project is to develop an indoor emergency route navigation system by using a new technology called iBeacon for the healthcare industries. This system makes use of the location information of a person and guides him or her along the evacuation path to the exit. iBeacon is used in this project because it is a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) based indoor proximity device and it works the best in indoor situation. The procedure to complete this project is divided into two major parts. The first part is the development of the coding algorithm for the iBeacon interaction and the system operation. The next part consists of the analysis of the system to check on its reliability towards the operating distance and sensing ability of the iBeacon so that improvements can be made. From this research, it is concluded that the “near” range distance is optimum in terms of the beacon’s operating distance and sensing ability. For the beacon setup, all beacons must be placed with a 6.0m distance from each other for it to perform effectively. However, the problem regarding to the disturbances that is affecting the Bluetooth signal has yet to be solved and future recommendation is suggested.
